Staples

Eagle Creek Pack-It Specter Cube Set

“The water-repellant ripstop nylon bags come in three sizes — one for your jeans, one for tees and another for socks. Each lightweight (2.2-oz total for all three) bag has a top handle making it a breeze to move everything from your suitcase to a drawer.” — Meg Lappe
