I’m counting down the days to a little week-long break in two days, and packing my bags has taught me one sad lesson: All of my suitcases, bags and trolleys are old, in need of replacement and above all, a dullingly boring black! So much for travelling in style.

Looking for a splash of colour to take with me to La Douce France (or anywhere else… wanderlust taking over), I stumbled across the newest collection from Lipault. A jolt of electric neon yellow screamed from across my screen, and I knew instantly that this was the stuff my suitcase and trolley dreams were made of! Now, would I be able to get my hands on this beauty before Friday?
