Travel Smart: Top Tips & Gear Picks for Your Next Adventure
Traveling can be exhilarating—and a bit stressful if you’re not prepared. Whether you’re off on a weekend escape or a longer journey, some thoughtful packing and the right accessories go a long way. Here are our best travel tips, plus gear picks to help you travel in style, safety, and comfort.
1. Choose the Right Bag for the Trip
Tip: Match the size and style of your bag to the duration and type of travel. A cabin trolley or weekender is perfect for 1–3 days; anything longer calls for a larger suitcase or duffel.
Featured Products:
- Pierre Cardin Leather Business/Overnight Bag in Cognac – Elegant and practical with a roomy main compartment and detachable shoulder strap, perfect for overnight or weekend trips.
- Pierre Cardin 3-Piece Suitcase Sets – Hard or soft luggage options in cabin, check-in, and extended trip sizes.
2. Pack Smart: Organise & Minimise
Tip: Use packing cubes or organisers to separate essentials like underwear, tech, toiletries. Leave extra room for souvenirs! Place weighty or fragile items at the bottom and close to the wheels if using a wheeled suitcase.
Suggested Product: Pierre Cardin Overnight & Business Bags – Multiple compartments to keep your travel documents, chargers, and essentials organised.
3. Select Durable Materials—Leather & Shells
Tip: Leather isn’t just luxurious—it’s tough. A good leather bag will age beautifully and handle rougher treatments. Hard shell or water-repellent suitcase exteriors protect your gear in different weather conditions.

4. Keep Security in Mind
Tip: Choose bags with secure closures (zippers, flaps) and extra safety features like RFID blocking or lockable zippers. Keep valuables close to your body in crowded areas.
