12 Carry-on Travel Essentials for Globetrotting Mavens

Dreams of getting lost in faraway lands, immersing in different cultures, and sampling foreign delicacies— truly travelling is good for the soul. But whether you’re trailblazing through Europe or catching an interstate flight for work, travelling can be as hectic as it is exciting. So if you’re a notorious over-packer like myself, sorting out your carry-on bag can be a herculean task.

In an effort to eliminate the everyday #travelstruggles, I’ve taken on a curatorial packing approach for keeping cool in-flight. Here is a jetsetter’s checklist featuring carry-on must haves from Sweden, the US, and Australia.

The Gear

  1. Fjällräven Gear Bag, Fjällräven, EUR32, + Add to Wishlist
    This multifaceted gear bag is constructed from double-waxed G-1000, Fjällräven’s own hardwearing and versatile fabric praised for its extreme durability and resistance to wind and water. A definite must-have for hikers, backpackers, or makeup junkies who want the utmost protection for their Anastasia Beverly Hills palette. ShopandBox your Fjällräven fix with our Boxer Jessica for deals, designs, colours, and that new bag smell (complete with fresh Scandinavian air) exclusive only in Sweden.
  2. Bellroy Travel Wallet, Bellroy, AUD160, + Add to Wishlist
    Made with premium environmentally certified leather, Bellroy’s slim and minimalistic, no-fuss design includes a designated passport pocket, with quick access card slots, and room for tickets, cash, and even a micro travel pen. Give one of our Boxers from Australia a buzz to get yourself a swanky new Bellroy wallet, and everything you may every need from the land down under.
  3. Gisela Weekender Bag, Sandqvist, EUR249, + Add to Wishlist
    The secret to packing is a great bag and Sandqvist’s Gisela Weekender Bag is nothing short of excellent. It’s the epitome of Swedish design— simple, stylish, and functional. This multi-wear bag is made with a heavy cotton canvas and accented with sleek leather details. To top it off, Gisela comes with a convenient 15-inch laptop sleeve.
  4. Pattern Multi Pouch, Mochi Things, US40, + Add to Wishlist
    Keep your toiletries organised with this cute and functional travel pouch. It’s made with tear-resistant and waterproof materials to protect your items from the humps and bumps of travelling. Sick of getting faulty gears and gadgets only to pay for the costly return on top of postage and handling fees?
