Liberty’s iconic prints are classics, so we like this passport cover from the iconic department store. It’s fully lined in leather with shiny gold Liberty-branded hardware. Tuck it into the matching tote bag for weekend trips, to ensure a full cottagecore vibe.
If you’re not so much about the standard leather passport wallets, a richer, more vibrant option may be a better fit.

It’s expensive, yes, but it’s also a leather-lined leopard print fuzzy passport cover from Dolce & Gabbana, and that’s reason enough to make the investment. Inside, there are five card slots and a slip pocket for your boarding pass. There’s also a similar, paler version available as part of the brand’s collaboration with Kim Kardashian.
Glorious London department store Fortnum & Mason is a treasure trove of goodies, and now you can bring a bit of its signature Eau de Nil blue to your hand luggage.
