Packing cubes
A relatively new travel accessory that is trending are packing cubes. A recent Business Insider article highlighted how they not only help organize items in your luggage but also provide extra space as they easily compress without wrinkling your clothes, including swimwear.
Some packing cubes also come in a variety of colours, making it simple to arrange your items in advance for certain days of the week or if you are jetting to multiple locations.
