What types of travel bags are available at Strand?
At Strand, we offer a wide range of travel bags suited to different travel styles. For those who like to pack light but need space, our weekend bags provide the perfect combination of style and functionality. Additionally, we offer overnight bags, carry-all totes, and travel backpacks for easy access to your items on the go.

How to pack a travel bag effectively?
Packing a travel bag efficiently means maximising space and keeping everything organised. Start by rolling your clothes instead of folding them to save space and reduce creases. Use packing cubes or small pouches to keep toiletries, electronics, and accessories neatly organised. For shoes, stuff them with socks or small items to make use of all available space. Lastly, keep your essentials, like your passport and travel documents, in an easily accessible compartment for quick access during security checks.

How do I unlock my travel bag?
Unlocking your travel bag is simple! Many of our travel bags come with built-in combination locks for added security. To unlock, simply follow these steps:
1. Set your combination code (or use the default code if you haven’t changed it).
2. Ensure the zippers are aligned with the lock’s grooves.
3. Twist the dial or push the button to release the lock. If you're unsure how to set the combination, check the lock instructions. Make sure to reset your code to a number that’s easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess!

What is the best type of travel bag for a short trip?
For a short trip, a weekender bag or overnight bag is ideal. These bags are spacious enough for a couple of days' worth of clothes and essentials, yet compact enough to avoid overpacking. Look for a bag with multiple compartments for easy organisation of your items and one that can easily fit in the overhead compartment or under your seat on the plane.

What’s the difference between a travel backpack and a duffle bag?
A travel backpack is designed for hands-free convenience, perfect for those on the move who need easy access to their belongings. It’s great for hiking, city breaks, or any trip where you need to keep your hands free. A duffle bag, on the other hand, offers larger packing space with a more traditional shoulder-carry option, making it ideal for longer trips or when you need to pack bulky items. Both are incredibly versatile, so the choice really depends on your preferred style and travel plans.

How do I clean my travel bag?
Cleaning your travel bag depends on the material it’s made from. For fabric bags, use a damp cloth and mild detergent to wipe down the surface, focusing on any areas with stains or dirt. Leather bags should be cleaned with a leather conditioner to keep them looking their best. Always check the care instructions for your specific travel bag to ensure you clean it properly and maintain its quality over time.

What features should I look for in a travel bag?
When selecting the perfect travel bag, consider features like:
1. Multiple compartments for better organisation
2. Adjustable and padded straps for comfort, especially in backpacks
3. Water-resistant material for protection against the elements
4. Durable zippers and hardware to ensure longevity
5. Expandable options for extra packing space when needed These features will make your travel experience more efficient, convenient, and enjoyable.
