Transform Your Travels With These Minimalist Luggage Essentials

We’re not here to tell you what to exactly pack for your next trip or to roll your clothes instead of folding because realistically, it’s different for everyone. One thing that’s the same for travellers is our luggage.

The secret to minimal travel isn’t what you pack, but your choice of luggage. You’ll structure what and how you pack according to the style, size, and structure of your bag.

We’ve narrowed down the best, smallest, most durable and of course, the chicest luggage on the market right now that will fit any trip you take – from Iceland to Bali.

1/ The Perfect Backpack

Wool & Oak’s backpack is crafted in a way that the front flap fully opens with compartments throughout like a slot for your laptop, phone, and important documents. Plus the back of the bag unzips to reveal a slimmer backpack just for your laptop and other important documents.

Best for: Weekenders and day trips

2/ The Transformative Duffle

Duffles aren’t a preferred bag among travellers, but this one by Pakt is a game changer. It has the casualty and flexibility of a bag, but the organization of a carry-on. The duffle opens down the centre to reveal two large pockets for more organized packing. There’s also a centre cushioned lining for your laptop, secret compartments for important documents and TSA approved pockets.

Best for: Trips with lots of travel and jumping between cities

3/ The Ideal Carry On

Finally, the Away carry-on is unlike any other rolling luggage. Not only does it have thoughtful slots, but also a TSA approved battery attached and easily accessible to charge your tech. The clean design and wide range of colour choices is definitely an added bonus. Plus there’s lifetime warranty!

Best for: Long-term trips

Say goodbye to your large pieces of luggage, and invest in a smarter type of bag for your travels.
