A fashion lover has praised a “game-changer” suitcase packing hack that prevents creases so that you can look your best on holiday. The popular method was highlighted in a TikTok video shared by womenswear brand Sophie Cameron Davies.
Posting on social media, @sophiecamerondavies demonstrated why it’s well worth spending a little more time when you’re packing your suitcase to save time on your holiday. The caption explained: “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 seen in the video, the hack requires travel fans to fold their clothes, ensuring they remain flat inside the suitcase. Sophie said: “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.”
Her video has received more than 600,000 views, along with thousands of likes. It also prompted commenters to share their preferred method, and it turns out lots of people swear by Sophie’s hack.
One fan of the idea said: “I have packed like this for years and it’s honestly a game changer !! Less folds = more space.” Someone else shared: “I’ve been doing this more recently! So much better!”
Another commenter revealed: “I always pack like this – never have to iron.” Meanwhile, a viewer added: “I’ve always done this and left them on hangers too. So once I arrive, hang straight up.” A social media user replied: “I do this too ….makes unpacking at hotel sooooo much easier.”
Others shared variations of the idea. For instance, a savvy viewer shared: “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 different comment 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.”
Not everyone loved the idea, though. When someone commented: “Then when you stand the case up everything will fall down,” someone who had tried the trick replied: “No, it doesn’t. I’ve packed like this – just a pain looking for things when arriving at destination.”
Others suggested they wouldn’t be tempted by the method as they prefer using packing cubes. Praising the alternate method, a fan said: “I swear by packing cubes, makes everything so much easier.” A viewer replied: “Same, family of 6, everyone has a set of their own colour cubes – makes life so much easier.”
