A stylish traveler’s new BFF

Dear Rissa,

My New Year’s resolution is to travel more. But packing is a burden for me and I hate getting my clothes wrinkled in the suitcase. I see you travel a lot. Any tips?

Vacations are always wonderful, but what can ruin the trip for every stylish traveler is the stress of dealing with wrinkled clothes. Crinkled and crumpled clothes are a pet peeve of mine. They can ruin your look (and your seflies!) and it can make expensive clothes look cheap, too. And yet no matter how carefully one packs (for me, this is a long afternoon ritual and preparation), like taxes and death, you can never evade creases in your packed clothes. But I recently discovered the packing cubes of Pac&Go. It’s an OC traveler’s answered prayer. I read that their products were originally designed for personal use. The owners have been using these products for four years and would also gift them to friends. The response was amazing so they decided to make it available to everyone. 

There are a lot of packing cubes out there. I’ve tried several, too. But what I love about the packing cubes of Pac&Go is that the sizes already perfectly fit your folded garments so you don’t have to refold your clothes from the closet when packing. Unlike other brands that offer a random variety of sizes, Pac&Go’s cubes are designed to fit perfectly inside one another. I found it really amazing how seven cubes could perfectly fit into a large luggage. Every inch of space is maximized in your luggage. It seems their four years of using these packing wonders themselves have allowed the owners to master the perfect size of cubes.

I really loved how my clothes stayed neat and organized throughout my trip. If you want to be extra organized, you can even pack your outfits by day or week, depending on how long your trip is. Even unpacking when I got home was not a burden because my unused clothes were ready to be stored in the closet. Their cubes also feature a transparent material so you can easily recognize the contents. The different sizes perfectly fit all kinds of travel items — from shirts, jeans, underwear, shoes, accessories to even wet and dry toiletries. They have a packing cube for everything you need.

The travel cubes of Pac&Go are super lightweight and even washable in case they get dirty. I am super happy with mine but want to get more so my husband and kids have their own sets when we travel.

You can find their items at www.pacandgoshop.com or emailpacandgo@gmail.com. Find them on Facebook and Instagram via @pacandgo.
