Traveling with Hudson + Bleecker

UHG packing. While I absolutely love to travel more than most things in life, there are two downsides, well make that three to traveling – packing, flying, and unpacking. If I could find a way to travel without having to rely on these three inconveniences I would be one jetset woman! Since packing and unpacking are one of my least favorite things to do I always try to find a way to make it as organized as possible – this way it runs smoothly and I can easily put away the items once I return.

Being an organized traveler was not always my strongest suit. I actually learned a lot from my very neat and organized husband. Actually, as a child he would pack for his father – one because he loved it and two because he was that good at it. So imagine his utter shock when he saw my unorganized, laissez-faire, unruly packing style. Let me just say, after a few trips with him I learned his way was much better. We would arrive at the destination and my clothes would be wrinkled, my shoes were damaged, and my make-up most of the time exploded somewhere, on something. Complete mess. While his clothing never needed ironing, his shoes were perfectly placed and in pristine condition, and his toiletries never went anywhere. Ying to the yang!

One of the many tricks I learned from him was to have the correct packing equipment. You may remember when I discussed

my new found love for space savers (something I stole from him). Space savers are an excellent way to keep your clothes organized, wrinkle-free, and compact. But, what do you do with those disorderly shoes? Before learning about Hudson Bleecker I used old shoe bags that really didn’t protect my shoes from the abuse suitcases endure. Their only purpose was to keep the dirt from the street off of my clothes, and they worked for that purpose but the shoes always seemed to be smashed or out of place when I pulled them out of the bag. What I really needed was a bag that would protect the shoe while keeping the dirt away. Hudson Bleecker not only makes very durable and sturdy travel bags but they are all extremely cute. H B actually started after the founder, Eram, failed to locate a proper shoe bag that would protect her beloved footwear collection during her travels. Struggling to find luxe travel accessories that were not only practical but also alluring, Eram observed that she was not alone in this struggle, and thus, she set out to create a collection of durable, high-quality travel accessories that are both functional and beautiful.

I personally love their shoe travel bags but if you are just starting your “organized packing journey” they also make garment bags, jewelry cases, toiletry bags, and cosmetic cases. Really, we now have no excuse to open our suitcase to an overflow of chaos. Hudson Bleecker has definitely found a way to fill the void in the travel market. Be sure to check out their great travel products and stock up for your next adventure. I promise you, spending now on the right travel equipment will save you lots of energy and headaches for your next trip!
