Not everyone can or knows how to protect their wrinkle-prone clothing in such a [packed suitcase](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-luggage), especially with all the chucking and squishing with luggage on flights. Some people find cleaning relaxing and enjoyable but if ironing and packing suitcases is a hassle for you, the freefold bag will be a worthy investment. This compact case is easy to use and encases your suits with pre-set sections so that they remain crisp and meeting-ready as soon as you land.
