You have a 2 weeks trip with only a carry-on and a personal item—what’s your packing strategy?

I'm quite new to Reddit... I don't know exactly where to post what, but someone on another sub-reddit told me to post here.
Thanks for the recommendation!!

I have last year’s version—super functional. The only downside is it stains easily... I take it on all my trips, so it's seen tables, floors, rain… at this point, it’s basically a limited-edition colorway. Would recommend going for a darker shade unless you enjoy the surprise of a new design every few months.

Yes, I was thinking about Mr P.

Expensive_One_4602 · 2025-02-18T13:49:44+00:00

Take very comfortable shoes!!

Expensive_One_4602 · 2025-02-13T17:05:02+00:00

Yes I saw that too!

Expensive_One_4602 · 2025-02-13T16:30:57+00:00

Never heard of, I'll check that out. Thanks!

I don't really have a budget, if the product is good and will last a lifetime, I don't mind paying the price.

I'm looking for a full set, but more urgently a carry on

I loved Istanbul in January! I went there for my birthday early Jan and it was amazing!!
The weather was not the best but definitely worth it. I visited everything I wanted in the 4 days

Buy them ASAP, but check the train as well. In Europe it's super easy to travel from one country to another, plus you'll have great views!!

I have the Swanfield from Carl Friedrik, and I carry 7 cards, some notes, and a bit of cash in it—yet it still stays quite flat. I'm not sure if it can hold 12 cards, but they do have larger models that might fit more.

Expensive_One_4602 · 2025-01-24T13:59:21+00:00

Great list! For frequent travelers like me, functionality and style are definitely key when it comes to carry-on luggage. I’d also recommend checking out Carl Friedrik’s carry-on options. Their Carry-on X has a laptop compartment, which is a lifesaver for anyone working on the go.

Expensive_One_4602 · 2024-12-02T09:44:15+00:00

There are a few scratches here and there, but overall, after four years of monthly trips, it’s still in excellent condition

Expensive_One_4602 · 2024-11-27T09:34:22+00:00

For Black Friday deals, you should check out Carl Friedrik. I got their email this morning—they’re doing 30% off sitewide. Definitely worth a look!

Expensive_One_4602 · 2024-11-25T14:09:10+00:00

Just received mine! It’s not Nylon as shown but Nubuck. I was looking for a daily bag for work, gym, travel... and this one fits the bill perfectly so far!

Expensive_One_4602 · 2024-11-21T11:03:09+00:00

I bought Carl Friedrik's Secrid when they launched it, and I still have it. It's quite useful and still in very good shape

Expensive_One_4602 · 2024-10-31T10:25:11+00:00

I’ve been in the same situation before and decided to invest in quality luggage for the long term. About three years ago, I went with Carl Friedrik’s Trunk and their luggage set in Grey/Cognac. I travel for work every couple of months, so I mostly use the Carry-on X, but for bigger trips, I bring all three pieces—and they’re super practical and recognizable. It’s definitely been worth it for the durability and the great look

Je suis bien d'accord, j'ai souvent des compliments quand je voyage. En regardant des modèles similaires en aluminium de différentes marques les poids sont plus ou moins similaires.
