With the Kinga team jetting off to Bali over the next few weeks, packing has become a hot topic around the office. And let’s be honest, no matter how many times you do it, packing can still feel like a mission.
But when you’ve got your ride-or-die essentials on hand, it gets a whole lot easier. From beauty bags to incense, we’re all about keeping things soft, simple and intentional, packing only the pieces that make us feel good, inside and out.
We asked the team what they’re taking with them and why. Here’s what made the cut.
What the Team’s Packing: Our Travel Essentials
LAURA - Creative Director
Incense + matches in a beauty case
“I almost always have incense and matches packed in one of my Kinga beauty bags. I’ve got a few around, and one usually comes with me when I travel. It’s especially handy when you’re sharing a villa or a bathroom with friends, you know, to keep things smelling nice when… It’s a small thing, but it really makes the space feel fresh and more relaxing.”
JACKIE - Production Coordinator
“It’s the Koh-I-Noor toothbrush for me. It’s so beautiful, it makes me feel a bit fancy, and it’s made with natural fibres, so I feel better about using it. I always pack it for the plane. If I’m feeling gross or tired, brushing my teeth makes me feel a bit more alive.”
ZOE - Ecommerce Coordinator
Mini Carry-All in Pink & Black
"My travel essential is the new Kinga mini carry-all, made from recycled offcuts from our Fantastico collection. It fits all my bits and pieces; toothbrush, makeup, everything, and it’s so easy to throw into a bigger bag when I’m on the go."
KATE - Operations Manager
"I’m in love with my new Machete petite travel hairbrush. It’s tiny enough to fit in my carry-all, but it feels so bougie. It’s green and marbled and just makes me feel fancy, it’s lush."
JAMIE - Marketing Coordinator
“Okay mine’s kind of random but I always take our Machete comb. It fits in my carry-all and I actually use it for anxiety. Like, if I’m feeling anxious when travelling, I rub the bristles along my thumb. It sounds weird, but it genuinely helps. I highly recommend giving it a go.”
CLAUDIA - Intern
"My film camera comes everywhere with me, especially on holidays. I love snapping photos while I’m away, then developing them when I get home. Definitely one of my travel must-haves."
LAURA - Intern
"This might be a bit random, but I always pack a reusable tote. It’s so versatile. I can use it as a beach bag, or for picking up souvenirs along the way. So handy."
