Packing with a Purpose

Land Garment Bag ranging from $175 - $385- Santa Fe Collection leather garment cover or multi pocket garment bag for 2 or three suits.

I looked at my closet. I went through my drawers. What was I supposed to bring on a trip around the world? I was going to be skiing. I wanted to go swimming. What if I was going dancing? How would I pack a dress? How would I pack nice shoes?

Do you go through this debate? Do you wonder what to bring and how to bring it? Have no fear The Harbourmaster is here. Where? On the ground floor of the Washington Mall in Hamilton Bermuda or on 295-5333 or here with tips is owner Sheilagh Robertson.

Her top for packing for a multipurpose trip? Keep items separated and keep things light. An ideal way to do that? The lovely leather LAND garment bags which have pockets for shoes and enough space to keep three suits and a special pocket for ties.
