Agent Provocateur has just arrived in our shop, and its silk Cecily nightwear is the obvious place to start a honeymoon suitcase. Below are the pieces we would pack, from Agent Provocateur and from four other houses that work in silk, priced from £95 to £2,085.
For breakfast in the room 
Pyjamas and a camisole
The Cecily pyjama set is black silk: a button-up shirt with AP monogram embroidery and relaxed trousers with a drawstring waist. £245.
For warmer nights, the navy Cecily camisole top, £115, and matching shorts, £95. The Allegrah mules are navy silk satin with a patent heel and a marabou pompom, handmade in Italy, £320.
From other houses 
Velvet, satin and lace
Olivia von Halle’s Garbo nightdress is navy silk-velvet with a V-neck and a dipped back, £290. Comme Si’s pyjamas are pastel yellow silk-twill with contrast piping, £363.
Loretta Caponi’s Albina chemise is striped satin trimmed in corded lace, handmade in Italy, £536. Carine Gilson’s robe is silk-satin with lace-trimmed kimono sleeves and a tie belt, £2,085.
Packing silk for a honeymoon
Roll silk rather than folding it and pack it in a cotton bag, away from zips and jewellery. Hang it in the bathroom while you shower and the creases will fall out. Wash by hand in cool water with a gentle detergent, and never wring it. Check the size guide before you order, because a slip cut close to the body leaves little room.
