Necessities when you travel include Skyscanner, Airbnb, your Swiss Army knife, camera, and Kindle. Now, we highly recommend adding Fjallraven’s modular holders to the list. They’re Muji-like – but with more colour – and ensure that all your essentials are safely and ergonomically packed.

First, they are Bear Grylls-tough. They are made with Fjallraven’s signature G-1000 Heavy Duty fabric – which is light, despite its name, as well as tear- and water-resistant. It’s a blend of recycled polyester and cotton also used for the brand’s backpacks, jackets and trousers.

Second, the densely woven threads ensure they’re wind-resistant. This means they can keep your gadgets’ batteries warm when need be.

Another useful feature of these Kanken Essentials: all the eight pouches fit in the Kanken Classic backpack. From $19 for a pencil case to $189 for a photography bag, at Actually. – BG
