I have been travelling less and less nowadays, and it seems that the only route I'm going ever so frequently is Melaka - Kuala Lumpur. But that does not deter me from learning more about the art of packing. Mr Porter has done a terrific job in portraying how three very different men (stylistically, in this sense) who share something in common - they have acquired distinguishable packing skills as a consequence of their numerous travels.
My favorite gentleman's packing preferences is of Mr Duncan Ellis, who is an artist manager. I can somehow connect to his practical sides of packing - rolling instead of folding, anticipating what the weather will be like and last but not least, he sometimes has the tendency to overpack, which I shamefully share in common as well.
Apart from the useful insider tips Mr Porter also treats us with a visual feast of beautiful luggage, clothes and shoes, all from their stocks. I have to say that the black business luggage and the tan holdall from Mulberry is very very enticing...
