Whether you are planning a vacation that includes white sandy beaches, ancient cities or hiking in the mountains, there is one certainty. You need to pack. And while most people focus on itineraries, tickets and hotel bookings, an intelligently packed suitcase and truly transform your next trip. We’re not bragging (maybe a little bit) but we’re pros at the games, especially since we stocked up at MUJI.
Start with the right suitcase
If you haven’t replaced all of your old soft suitcases with hard ones from MUJI, you’re missing out. The Hard Carry Bags come in several sizes and colors that are lightweight, durable and will keep the contents protected. They’re also easy to clean, while the twin-wheel casters are quiet and easy to drive. The TSA approved locks will keep your valuables safe from theft.

Fill it up efficiently
It can be tempting to just throw things into your suitcase, but that’s a waste of space and will make unpacking when you arrive harder. Invest in a bunch of nylon gusset cases to keep things organized. The cases protect your clothes from getting wrinkled and fold to a small size when they’re not in use. The smaller cases are perfect for storing smaller items like socks and unmentionables neatly.

Travel with your own toiletries
Yes, you can absolutely buy shampoo and toothpaste wherever you are going. But it is usually easier and more affordable to pack the products you already know and love. Why test out a new shampoo when you are abroad when you can fill travel sized containers from MUJI with your favorite products.

Layer your linens
We’ve been fans of MUJI linen for as long as we can remember. We look put together no matter where we go and we can dress in layers to accommodate for different climates. The breathability also means we never feel stuffy or sweaty and we can mix and match all the different neutrals together to build tons of stylish outfits.
