The Modern Traveller’s Guide to Packing
Good packing is less about taking more and more about knowing what deserves a place in your bag. Start with the pieces you’ll reach for throughout the journey, then build around them.
Choose versatile items that can work across different settings, from a morning at the airport to an evening out in a new city.
A versatile backpack, like the Soho Urbanist Slim Backpack , gives you a streamlined base for your laptop, documents and daily necessities. For longer trips or days when you need a little more room, the Madison Backpack offers additional space without making your carry feel unnecessarily bulky.
Keep smaller items organised rather than letting them disappear into the bottom of your bag. The Liwa Dopp Kit keeps grooming essentials together, while the Joplin RFID Card Wallet keeps your cards and cash compact and close at hand.
Add your Ryokō Sunglasses , other frequently used pieces where they’re easy to reach. Keep your shades within easy reach, ready for the moment you step into the sun or head out for the day.
The final step is knowing when to stop. Before you zip your bag, take a moment to think about what you’ll actually use during the trip. Remove the duplicates, skip the “just in case” pieces, and leave a little room for anything you might pick up along the way.
The aim is a bag that feels considered, organised and easy to live out of from the moment you leave home to the moment you return.
Travel lighter. Choose better. Carry what matters.
