If packing for your holidays seems like an almighty task, there is a simple solution that you may not have thought of yet – pack light. If you’re smart, all you need is a carry on duffle bag for your next trip away. No waiting around the baggage carousels, no wheeled plastic shelled contraptions to lug about and no extra cost for the additional weight. Simply fling a carry on duffle bag over your shoulder and you’re good to go.

Discover our packing tips on how to travel light, here.

 

Choose a carry on duffle bag

A well-crafted carry on duffle bag is a fine investment for the savvy traveler. Opt for a lightweight fabric with sturdy handles, such as the canvas Giovane duffle, to carry your belongings around without breaking your back. The Giovane M canvas holdall is a suitable cabin size for most airlines and is available in Classic Navy for a quintessential British style.

 

Packing cubes are your best friend

If there’s one thing that will change your packing life forever, it’s packing cubes. Roll up your clothes and slot into these zipped mesh pockets to instantly save space. Another perk? They pretty much organise your holiday wardrobe for you. Use separate packing cubes for different clothing items. One for t-shirts and shirts, one for trousers and shorts – you get the idea. This set of four packing bags from Ikea will revolutionise your packing routine forever.

 

 

Opt for a capsule wardrobe

Put some real thought into what you’re going to wear whilst you’re away. There are many influencing factors when it comes to choosing clothes for your travels – climate, culture and holiday type to name a few. Create a capsule wardrobe of thirty pieces with complementary colours and textures including footwear, jackets and accessories. This will allow you to mix and match your attire, offering you plenty of unique outfits to choose from during your travels. No more packing random pieces just for the sake of it.

 

Buy toiletries when you get there

 Avoid bulking out your carry on duffle bag with travel sized beauty and grooming products and only take the bare essentials. Chances are you can buy everything you need once you reach your final destination. Remember to pack a wash bag to store all your products during your trip. Opt for one of our Italian leather wash bags to add a touch of luxury to your grooming or beauty routine. Don’t forget – all products need to be under 100ml and sealed in a transparent bag.
