A Toast to Origins
Born from the Victorian elite, portable crystal decanters and silver flasks accompanied wealthy travelers on coach carriages, over railways, and across oceans, ensuring drinking away from home remained a polished and refined practice.
By the early 1900s, an upperclass portable bar was a stylish accoutrement - a leather trunk with brass fittings that could be set atop a folding table. A must-have for those who believed exploration deserved ceremony during the height of ocean liner excursions, safari expeditions, as well as the newest mode of travel, the automobile.
The traveling bar further evolved into lifestyle markers of progress and leisure in post-war America. Families set out with picnic-style bar kits in their convertibles and campers, while business men carried their briefcase-like kits, ready to shake and pour between board meetings.
After decades of gentlemanly leather briefcases, sportsman canvas bags, and hunting/safari portables boxes, the modern imbiber calls for greater options of self-expression. The Bar Voyage™ Editorial Series editorial by Sip Society Intl reimagines the traveling bar set through a feminine lens - softer, sensual and always insisting on a sipping ritual experience. The series is a curated collection of recommended portable barware, cases, tools and objects designed to inspire elevated bar-quality moments wherever life takes you.
