How to pack the perfect suitcase with tips from the greatest globetrotters

Longchamp's extra-large recycled canvas duffel bag (€350) is my trusty carry-on. Inside I can put a whole change of clothes, usually Levi's 501 jeans, a white T-shirt and underwear, in case the holdall arrives late.

LAURA BAILEY, MODEL, WRITER AND PHOTOGRAPHER

I was given an organiser set from Finisterre (€45), which I use to store my sports socks, hair accessories (vintage scarves, Good Squish elastics, Chanel clips and ribbons), swimwear and underwear in order: it has been a real breakthrough. When I travel, a few items are enough to save my day: a slip dress from Simone Rocha, my favourite; a thin cashmere from Barrie or J.Crew; a white and a black T-shirt from Petit Bateau. I also carry my Mother Made mushroom supplements in mini format (below, €68 two 100g packs), choosing the AM or PM formula according to my commitments during the day, and Lyma capsules (from €225), which I have been taking morning and evening for five years.

LUCINDA CHAMBERS, STYLIST, DESIGNER AND CO-FUNDER OF COLLAGERIES

My Multi-Zip briefcase by Smythson (€323) is perfect in-flight for storing documents and tickets. It is always ready to ward off last-minute panic and keep my passport under control. To get rid of the 'smells of travel' I love having Altitude Oil by de Mamiel (€49, 10 ml) with me. I can't sleep without an eye mask, I've tried so many: the padded silk one by Drowsy Sleep Co. (79 €), it's the best because it's big and doesn't move. Lastly, I always carry the Steamery Cirrus 3 upright iron (below, 180 €), so I pack a few extra clothes without being afraid of the effect it will have on my clothes.

GEORGE HEATON, CO-FUNDER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF REPRESENT

I always put magnesium citrate in my bag. I work out a lot and it helps me to relax and fall asleep when I want to do a power nap on a plane or to get back into the right sleep routine in case of jetlag.

GUILLAUME DIOP, CLASSICAL DANCER

In winter I always travel wearing Ugg shoes: they are very comfortable and warm; in summer I prefer Birkenstocks. I pack Hydratis electrolyte tablets (9 € for 20 tablets) and wear a hat because when you wake up after sleeping on a plane your hair is always a mess.

ANYA HINDMARCH, STYLIST

When I travel for work I pack combinations of clothes to be as versatile as possible. I have a folder of photos on my phone for reference to make it even easier. I use my Bespoke Walton suitcase for short trips (below, £2,190): it's inspired by vintage luggage and has plenty of labelled compartments. The front acts as an office, with pockets for PC, charger, passport and documents, and is separate from the clothes department inside. On the suitcase are my initials, so no one in the family can tell it's yours.

NICKY HASLAM, INTERIOR DESIGNER

Reduce your luggage to a minimum and only travel on a private plane - that's the turning point.

GUCCI WESTMAN, FOUNDER OF WESTMAN ATELIER

I often use the Carmel Paris jumpsuit by Olivia von Halle (€1,800) in navy blue or black, it's comfortable to sleep in and when I wear it I can go straight from the airport to my workshop without feeling scruffy. The same goes for my favourite blazer by The Row (€2,460), soft and chic, it makes me feel tidy even after many hours of flying.

ANNOUSHKA DUCAS, JEWELRY DESIGNER

When I think about travelling light one of the first things I consider is my jewellery: it is the best way to set the tone for any outfit. I always carry my Knuckle Bold necklace (€7,700) and Knuckle Heavy bracelet (€6,500): with these I can create six different looks and add removable charms to wear in a variety of ways. I never leave without a Brora cashmere scarf (below, 250 €). It can also become a blanket, a pillow or a shawl ideal for combating temperature fluctuations in the cabin.

INGE THERON, FOUNDER OF FACEGYM AND CEO OF ITANDA

I send my travel schedule to Dr Mark Mikhail of 3 Peaks Health two weeks in advance, so he prepares me customised supplements in small, well-labelled packs to combat jetlag, boost energy and promote better sleep. He also organises me boxes with remedies for the days I choose to toast with alcohol (DHM, NAC, glutathione) and sachets of customised supplements for difficult meals, which include digestive amino acids, larazotide and berberine. I then take the Perfectio X LED light therapy device from Zero Gravity Skin (below, €7,888): when I'm at home I take a sauna five days a week, two of them in the infrared sauna because I notice extraordinary benefits for the skin. And this device is the best I've found to replicate the results of a facial I've just had. It also works on tired legs after long days on my feet.

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN, STYLIST

I travel wearing a safari jacket. Originally an army garment, I find it very functional, with lots of pockets to keep the essentials handy, from passport to phone. I bought several of them in one of my favourite shops: Mic Mac in Paimpol, Brittany. For everything that doesn't fit in the pockets, I designed the Djanis bag (below, €1,490). And for the lucky ones going to Brazil, be sure to pack Engov tablets on your return. They can be bought in pharmacies and are the best remedy for long nights of partying and dancing.

JOSS KENT, EXECUTIVE PRESIDENT AND CEO OF &BEYOND

Whether it's New York or Limpopo, I always bring a Kenyan kikoi, a large towel that you can use to sleep in, you can wrap it around your head on the plane, it protects you from the sun and dust and can also act as a towel. Simple wax earplugs are a must. The Swarovski Optik CL Pocket binoculars (from 860 €) are a genius invention for the types of travel I do, they fit in practically any pocket. I have a Leatherman mini multi-purpose tool (below, from 59 €), which fits perfectly in my hold luggage: it includes nail file, screwdriver, a small knife. Finally, a pair of lightweight waterproof boots from Helly Hansen (from €160) are always indispensable.
