I have packing down to a fine art

We all know by now that I am an absolute stress head when it comes to packing. It’s not that I’m disorganised more that I am hyper focused and obsessed with my packing and wanting to ensure I use every inch of space in my case while also packing perfectly for every eventuality. You don’t want to bring the kitchen sink and this is especially true when you are flying anywhere.

I like to think I have things down to a fine art and that is where packing cubes come into the equation. If you haven’t used packing cubes yet then let me tell you they will revolutionise your packing and you’ll be able to get so much more into your case. I was amazed on my last trip to Croatia how much I was able to pack and now that we are heading into the winter months with bulkier clothing, a packing cube is essential to compress all your bits and bobs.

If you’re looking to invest in some new packing cubes then Judy Gilroy, celebrity fashion stylist, TV personality, entrepreneur and lifestyle content creator has just launched Clossy, a new range of luxury compression packing cubes. After years of styling clients and travelling for work, Judy recognised that packing was more than a chore, it was a ritual. Driven by her passion for organisation and design, she created Clossy Cubes to make travel feel effortless and beautiful.

Her philosophy is simple: make the most of any space, including your luggage. The Clossy compression packing cubes increase the space in your luggage by up to 30% allowing you to fit more items into the same space than if you were using standard packing cubes or no packing cubes at all. Compression cubes use duel zip technology that squeeze excess air out of contents making them flat and more compact. Compression packing cubes not only help you to organise your suitcase but also create more space, so you can fit more in it or downsize your luggage and save on baggage.

The sets come in two sizes, the 10kg Carry-On Set which is a four-piece Carry-On set. It’s purpose-built for cabin luggage, helping travellers meet airline limits with ease. Designed to fit perfectly into standard cabin cases, the 10kg set ensures everything is compact, compressed, and organised. If like me you’re obsessed with fitting everything into a cabin bag, then this is the set for you.

The other size is the 20kg Check In Set which is a five-piece Check-in set and includes everything from the Carry-On Edition plus an extra-large compression cube for full-sized travel. Designed for check-in luggage, this collection transforms the traditional packing process.

I’ll be going on two very different trips, but both are within Ireland next month and I always find that while I can be pretty edited in what I bring abroad when I’m at home I tend to bring way too much.

I’m going to really do my best now to not overfill the luggage as it’s so annoying to unpack it all when you get home.

However, it does make a big difference when you use packing cubes and the inside of your case when you get home is organised and not all just shoved back in.

With your case all neat and tidy all that remains is deciding what to bring and if someone wants to come and pack for me then please be my guest.
