Check out Harrods' new travel goods department—which claims to be the biggest in the world

Before you actually flop onto a sun lounger with a cold beer in hand, one of the best things about holidays is shopping for suitable bags to take with you. Who doesn't enjoy exploring a good luggage department?

Harrods is set to make it even more fun, by opening what it claims will be the world's largest "travel goods department" in the world. Due to open this month, 51 North at Harrods—the name relates to the department's GPS positioning—will offer over 30 brands of luggage, including the Dunhill Exotic limited edition Travel Bag in crocodile skin (a snip at £8,695) and US brands Hartmann and Zero Halliburton, as well as British classics such as Mulberry, Anya Hindmarch and Paul Smith.
