Checkmate, the very british way

When Burberry invites Smythson to play, the chessboard takes to the road.

Designed for long journeys and rainy afternoons, this travel chess set unfolds like a precious accessory. Its flexible board combines Smythson’s signature cross-grain Panama leather with a smooth leather playing surface, while Burberry’s iconic Check accents the fastening tab.

The 32 miniature wooden pieces are stored inside two zipped tubular compartments. Once the game is over, the board rolls neatly away, becoming a compact and elegant object that slips easily into a suitcase.

Made in Italy, it brings together the craftsmanship of two historic British houses through a shared appreciation for travel, beautiful objects and the art of taking one’s time.
