‘Game-changing’ suitcase tip ‘stops creases’ and ‘saves space’ | Travel News | Travel

A holidaymaker has revealed a “game-changing” packing trick that stops clothes from becoming wrinkled in your luggage. The popular technique was showcased in a TikTok clip shared by womenswear brand Sophie Cameron Davies.

Posting on social media, @Sophiecamerondavies shared why dedicating a little extra time to packing your suitcase can save considerable hassle during your trip. Her caption said: “If your suitcase is full of floaty dresses, silk pieces or anything remotely crease-prone, try this. No more steaming out wrinkles for half your holiday.

“It’s simple, space-saving, and actually works. Save this one – your future self will thank you.” As shown in the clip, the method sees holidaymakers fold their garments as few times as possible, ensuring they stay flat within the suitcase.

Sophie instructed: “Lay your clothes completely flat, don’t roll or overfold. Fill the full width of your suitcase right into the corners, and fold only once or twice max to avoid deep creases.

“Then just lay each piece on top of the other like a stack. It keeps everything smooth and compact, so simple but game-changing.” The video earned thousands of likes, reports the Mirror.

Replying to the post, several viewers praised the idea. One fan of the trick said: “I have packed like this for years and it’s honestly a game changer! Less folds = more space.”

A second viewer replied: “I’ve been doing this more recently!” A third social media user wrote: “I always pack like this – never have to iron.” Adding to the praise, someone mentioned: “I’ve always done this and left them on hangers too. So once I arrive, hang straight up.”

There was more praise. Someone wrote: “I do this too ….makes unpacking at hotel sooooo much easier.” Meanwhile, viewers shared their own tips, with a commenter writing: “I use the other side for clothes as it’s flat and the side you have put the clothes in I use for toiletries and shoes, swimwear etc .. it works no creases.”

A social media user said: “I do this but I lay each piece flat hanging from the sides. Lay items on top then flip the sides inwards and secure it.” However, not everyone loved the idea.

A commenter wrote: “Then when you stand the case up everything will fall down,” someone defended the method but highlighted a different criticism, saying: “No, it doesn’t. I’ve packed like this – just a pain looking for things when arriving at destination.”

Meanwhile, some viewers said they swear by packing cubes. A different response shared: “I swear by packing cubes, makes everything so much easier.” A fan said: “Same, family of six, everyone has a set of their own colour cubes – makes life so much easier.”
