Packing is often seen as a chore — and sure, there’s certainly an element of that. Folding stacks of clothes and gathering piles of assorted things you’ll need isn’t always fun (especially when the contents of your suitcase become one big jumbled mess by day two of a trip anyway.) Though if that’s the case, you’re likely going about it the wrong way.

To pack efficiently, you’ll want to remove the chaos of keeping up with your belongings. Staying organized will enhance your overall experience so you can focus on enjoying your trip instead of wondering where your socks went or whether or not you lost an earring. Travel organizers can be a huge help here. They come in many forms, from packing cubes to toiletry bags and cosmetics cases. Each one is designed to protect specific items from damage and keep everything where you can quickly and easily find it.

To determine the best travel organizers, we tested dozens that are designed for all sorts of products from skincare to jewelry, tech, clothing, and more. We handpicked the top performers based on different T+L tests, following a robust testing period lasting six months long for each. The best travel organizers come from top brands like Away, Beis, Cuyana, and more. These impressive picks will have you wondering why you didn’t upgrade your packing game sooner.

Best Train Case

Etoile Collective Duo Vanity Case

When it comes to traveling with large cosmetic, beauty, or toiletry collections, we won’t pack them without this train-style case. We love a classic train case, which feels like a nostalgic call back to the heyday of travel when people dressed up glamorously to board an airplane. This particular one upholds that elevated sense of style.

And unlike other cosmetics carriers we tested, this case has interior pouches and a removable divider insert for the bottom portion to keep each item in its designated and easy-to-find place. The top section has additional storage space, as well as an included mirror and an accompanying sleeve to store it when not in use.

The case fit our full skincare, hair, and beauty regimens, including products of all sizes and still had space remaining. We also really liked how smoothly the two-way zippers opened and closed, and that you can opt to remove the leather insert divider in the bottom compartment to potentially pack even more or further customize storage and the case for your own needs.
