How To Pack A Suitcase With Marie Kondo | Apartment Therapy

Why do you guys need to knock her methods down? I’m happy that so many of you guys have been kindly taught how to pack this way. I, and many others have not been so lucky. She is doing what all of you who are criticizing her for are not: educating people. That is powerful and beautiful. I am grateful there are videos on the internet teaching people how to make scrambled eggs. Sure, I learned that at a young age, but because I was taught. I’m not going to go to a scrambled eggs and say, “Well... that’s just how you make eggs.. duh? “ These kinds of videos are for those who, for whatever reason, have not been fortunate to learn these skills and should be treated with respect.

Seeing Marie Kondo work her magic makes me feel relaxed. She looks so peaceful and happy. I learned something new today

i don't even have to pack a suitcase what am i doing here edit: hey guys guess who had to pack their suitcase a week or so ago

Thank you, Marie for showing the world that shoes NEED TO BE WRAPPED inside luggages and NOT to be randomly mixed with clean clothes!

I think the comments need to realise that Marie isn’t just about being efficient it’s being organised. Sure, I fit more stuff in my suitcase by rolling it and squeezing it and shoving everything into every crack and crevice that I can- I’d never pack like Marie because I’m always trying to shove in as much as I can. But when I arrive at my destination, it’s a pain in the ass to find everything I need quickly. People are saying that this simply looks better, but that’s kind of the point...

Now only if she could organise my life

Another tip for people who buy a lot during vacation: you can put your suitcase inside a larger empty suitcase. When you need more space for the things you buy, you can separate the suitcases.

The only thing i want to learn from her is her patience

I absolutely adore this woman and for those who have Netflix she has a series on there! :)

She looks so happy and cheerful and here I am at 11:30pm the night before I leave staring sullenly at my suitcase with a glass of wine

Marie is basically Isabelle from Animal Crossing.

I'd like to see a suitcase packed with winter clothes. Big and bulky items are hard to pack efficiently

her folding methods and decluttering has helped me to halve my entire wardrobe and shoe collection in a slow process of two years and help me to realise ' to use / buy what i only need ' . Same idea here when you need to pack a suitcase and having a cabin size will limit you to not over packing .

Marie Kondo is the soul I would love to have around my house- and in my life. She is so peaceful 😭😭💜💜

I think it’s a great way of packing! I lead student tours in Europe and I insist that my travelers only bring a carry-on bag because not all hotels have elevators and a lot of the time the rooms are tiny. Bringing a big suitcase just isn’t practical. I had been having the kids roll their clothes but since I learned Marie’s method of folding, I will teach them how to pack like this! Merci beaucoup Ms. Kondo!

For myself--an elderly female who enjoys sampling different ways to organize--I like to browse through many videos and systems. Usually a few ideas will appeal; some flatly DO NOT. In the end I get concepts which I adapt to my own preferences. This is also true in other aspects of life like cooking, wardrobe selections, etc. I have never found ONE COMPLETE SYSTEM for my needs. Thank you authors and videographers for providing ideas which I can work with but do not replace my own ingenuity!

I love the tip about putting underwear in bra cups!

I tend to roll instead of file fold because I'm plus sized and my clothes are bulky but I used a lot of her techniques and was able to fit an entire week long trip into my small carry on and my backpack, even left some space for some souvenirs. I think all that I would do differently or add would be role hosiery (tights, stockings, socks) and shove them in your shoes to save even more space

Marie Kondo has helped me so much and she has helped me again!

Im inspired by miss marie kondo. I watch here tidying up in netflix and it really helps me to organize things. Im all around nanny . Thanks to miss marie kondo Because of her i got a praise from my employer as a nanny being praise is an honor. I love her attitude towards things she gave respect even to a house. You really inspired me. Keep it up. 💐
