A blog post by Carol: Portable Power – my summer of trialling power banks for travel. I hope you have had a lovely summer and that you enjoyed some great adventures on your travels and holidays. Travel essentials are changing and I am sure we all carried our now compulsory tech essentials such as mobile phones, tablets and laptops with us. I sometimes miss the simplicity of a single book but I run an online business and I love social media! How many of you carried a portable power bank? A portable battery that charges your mobile devices on the go. With recent airport regulations requiring powered up mobile devices in some airports, power banks are now the savvy traveller’s essential item. I trialled six power banks over the summer and I am thrilled with the power bank we have now selected for our new power bank and leather case gift set. It’s lightweight, slim, looks smart, and most importantly it works! (Some were just dreadful.) You have to charge it the night before you travel for best results but once it’s fully powered it lasts for a good two full charges. I loved it. Available from 20th October on stowlondon.co.uk or to pre order, contact me at [email protected] The power bank cases are currently being made by our Spanish manufacturer in three of our popular colours: Amber orange, Topaz blue and Smoky quartz. The butter soft leather case is a large version of our secret Stowaways, our signature tiny leather envelopes found in all our luxury leather travel accessories. With the Power bank removed the case doubles as a cute mini clutch for phone credit card and lipstick, or as a passport cover or coin purse. (I found it so useful for nights out when I wanted to travel light.) Tim, our Non Exec has used it on his weekly business flights and thoroughly recommends it as a sophisticated, practical leather gift for men on the go. The power bank case sets will be available from October 20th but you can pre order by emailing me at [email protected] Leather Case: Outer: Butter soft leather Inner: Soft suede like fabric 13cm x 13cm x 13cm Power bank: Capacity: 5000mAh / 18.5 Wh Battery Type: Li-polymer Rechargeable battery cell Input: DC 5V 1.0A Output: DC 5V 1.5A (max) Size: 118 x 63 x 12 mm / 4.64 x 2.49 x 0.48 inches Weight: 133 g / 4.69 ounces
