Love the article but I need pictures! Like the cardboard cutouts you’d fold paper clothes on when we were kids!😉

Sometimes when I read your articles, I feel like we were separated at birth, albeit I’m older and not as well traveled as you!

I too am obsessed with totes, bags, and trying to pack the perfect ensembles.

I picked up a Porter bag in Bangkok years ago at a Porter pop-up.

It’s my favorite tote!

I am in the market for a light weight carry on. I still try to pack for a 10 day trip in a carryon.

Washing clothes in my bathtub in Laos was memorable!

Would you buy the Rimowa essential?

Hi, I don't think the Margaret Howell link is correct. I'm pretty sure it links to a fake website because the sweaters are $60, and the website pay is not the same as the website when you Google it. I had this happen with Cabana; these counterfeit websites seem to be popping up.

Funny, I came to the comments to see if anyone else had noticed this. I was just about to order it but knew it was to good to be true.

Wow! I am a shopper and almost did this as well, but the names of the sites didn’t match up. I hope something arrives for you!

Thank you so much! I've tried to cancel it but no luck ... I'm usually more 'on it' but that sweater won me over, ;-).

Did you receive anything? I was thinking it could be an outlet, but more likely fraud

Just wanted to let you know, I used Paypal and had reported the transaction - just got a full refund .... phew!

Christine Mason's avatar

Nothing and no response to emails requesting my cancelation. If nothing by Monday, I'll report it on Paypal. I feel like a total fool!

Love seeing this but what about toiletries and make-up? Do you really fit it all into one little Dopp kit? This is one area I can't seem to streamline!
