There's nothing more annoying than arriving at your destination and discovering your charger is still at home. With this packing list you're far less likely to forget anything, and you'll discover which All-time Favourites bag suits your trip best. Print it out, tick things off and leave relaxed.
Basic packing list
With a good basis, packing is stress-free. These are the essentials no holiday should be without:
- Documents - passport or ID, flight tickets, health insurance card, driving licence and a visa if you need one.
- Electronics - phone, charger, power bank (check your airline's current rules: a power bank generally has to go in your hand luggage), earphones and, if needed, a universal travel adapter or converter.
- Money - debit card, credit card and some cash.
- Clothing - outfits you can mix and match, underwear and socks for each day, swimwear, something warm for the evening and comfortable shoes. Use packing cubes to keep everything neatly organised.
- Toiletry bag - toothbrush, sunscreen, medication and your beauty products. Flying with hand luggage only? Keep the 100 ml rule in mind.
- Beach bag or holiday bag - a roomy shopper with a zip that doubles as an extra bag while travelling and comes along to the beach, pool or city at your destination.
- Extras - sunglasses, a book and a reusable water bottle.
Now that you know what to bring, the next question is: which bag fits it all best? We'll help you choose below.
Which bag suits your holiday?
Whether you're going away for a weekend, taking a longer trip or heading for the sun: with the right bag you travel comfortably and stay organised.
- Weekend away or city trip? Then a weekend bag, in other words the large shopper with a zip, is a smart choice. Depending on what you pack, it's suitable for several nights. Thanks to its flexible materials it can also come on board as hand luggage.
- A week away? Use the large shopper as your travel bag and pack it smartly with packing cubes. They keep your luggage organised and save you from endless searching. Sort your luggage by type or by day. That way you keep an overview and find everything in an instant. Flying with hand luggage? For more information, see hand luggage & All-time Favourites.
- Going on a longer sunny holiday? Bring a shopper with a zip alongside your other luggage and use it as a beach bag. On the way it's ideal as an extra bag, and at your destination you take it to the beach. Your belongings stay neatly stored and unwanted sand stays out as much as possible.
One bag, endless destinations
A roomy shopper isn't just ideal for holidays. It also comes in handy for a day out, groceries, the gym or a beach day at home. Thanks to its timeless design and sturdy finish, you'll use the same bag season after season.
How to pack smart
First lay out everything that needs to come along, then take a critical look at what you can leave behind. Roll your clothes instead of folding them, fill your shoes with socks and wear your bulkiest item of clothing while travelling. Keep everything you need en route, such as your passport, phone, charger and toiletry bag, at the top of your bag or in an inner pocket. That way everything is quickly to hand.
