How to Pack & Travel Efficiently

Planning a well-earned weekend escape and already debating what you want to pack vs. what you’ll actually wear? Co-Founder of Carl Friedrik, Niklas Oppermann suggests the 333 Packing Method which ‘is great for those with busy schedules, who need to pack minimally into a weekender or backpack, ensuring they are lighter on their journeys.” You choose three tops, three bottoms, and three pairs of shoes, then mix and match to create a variety of outfits which helps to minimise overpacking, reduce luggage bulk, and streamline your wardrobe choices.” And for the journey itself – Carl Friedrik’s collection of premium travel accessories is here to elevate your experience. “Our functionality-forward range of travel bags and luggage is designed with these types of on-the-go travellers in mind. Practical features such as padded laptop compartments, multi-size organisational pockets and space-saving compression pads make packing feel effortless. Investing in a premium travel bag or suitcase that will serve you for years to come is essential because it complements and facilitates the 333 packing method” says Niklas Oppermann, co-founder of Carl Friedrik.
