Whether you’re slipping away for an overnight adventure or embarking on a long-haul flight across the world, when it comes to travel, it’s just as much about savouring the journey as it is the destination.

With countless hours spent scouring the internet for travel inspiration and even more spent planning the perfect itinerary, ensuring a seamless, curated experience is paramount. So when it comes to packing, you’ll need to have the right pieces for the job. Studies have suggested that over 70 per cent of people are prone to overpacking, so by opting for luggage that is functional, elegantly designed and effortlessly adaptable, you can ensure a far smoother travel experience.

Samsonite’s Paralux collection perfects the art of packing, redefining what it means to pack with purpose for travellers who value refined design, efficiency, and sustainable luxury.

The overnight adventure

There is a special type of excitement about setting off for only one night. Maybe it’s a last-minute getaway up the coast, or a staycation in the heart of your own city. Whatever the adventure, travelling light allows you to focus on indulging in the experience.

This is where you’ll reach for the Everyday Backpack, which features organised compartments for a curated wardrobe, toiletries, and any other small essentials you might need to make the most of your journey.

The weekend road trip

As we move into the warmer months, the idea of a road trip is inching towards becoming a reality. Loading up the car, hitting play on your favourite soundtrack, and allowing the open road to do its job sounds like absolute bliss. But packing for this type of trip requires thought, with many items calling for versatility. 

The ultimate travel companion can be found in the Weekender Duffle Bag. With a spacious interior that can accommodate weekend essentials — not to mention its elegant design — this is a piece you’ll reach for again and again.
