It is always exciting to be heading off for a weekend but sometimes difficult to know what or how to pack. Planning is important but often tricky when packing in a hurry or faced with uncertainty about the weather and potential activities organised for the trip. The best option is to pack light and make every item work for you as much as possible! Our Antana weekend bag is the perfect size for a weekend away. It’s exactly the right size for a cabin bag under your seat on a plane or train and fits beautifully on top of a wheeled suitcase should you need additional luggage for a longer trip away.
So what to pack - ideally take a maximum of two pairs of shoes – one for comfort and one to dress up. Pack these at the base of the bag inside your drawstring Antana dust bag. You will probably want a pair of jeans so take your favourite ones. Dresses are great - light to pack and easy to style. Roll your clothes inside the bag and they will be less crumpled when you arrive. Always travel with a scarf. A blazer is also useful. A sleep mask is brilliant for travel as it allows you to rest easily whenever you have the opportunity!
Where possible, pack mini toiletries or decant your products into smaller containers. If you are flying and especially to somewhere hot, we highly recommend a good moisturiser, body oil, hand sanitiser and water spray.
