As the Strategist’s travel and outdoor writer, I’m a big believer in buying the right bag. I’ve spent years seeking out the very best backpacks, rolling suitcases, and personal items, all of which will make life on the move a lot easier. But therealpacking secret, whether you’re carrying a tote bag to the office or wheeling a suitcase to the airport, is internal organization. I personally have two small zip pouches that I transfer between every bag and purse I own, ensuring that I’m never without Band-Aids, my favorite pen, or my preferred lip balm. I truly believe that useful little pouches and cases are the secret to an organized life. Below, find a varied selection of particularly nifty ones for keeping your bits and bobs together in every scenario.
