Red Alert
Trimming bangs, snipping loose threads, diffusing nuclear bombs—all things we’ve been unable to do since our much-needed Swiss Army knife was confiscated at the airport.
Thankfully, choosing a handy new gadget from Victorinox’s chic 125th anniversary collection was a breeze. We’re besotted with the gold cross motif emblazoned on the knife’s iconic Pantone 201 red (from $34). Other must-have travel pieces? The retractable stainless steel Jubilee Alarm Clock (replete with tweezers and a toothpick), and the Hardside Officers Trunk (from $449) that‘s perfect for packing, and fighting crime.
