What to Pack? - Europe Edition

After deliberating on what to pack for my Europe adventure, I decided to share it with you! Planning to pack for a week sailing in Sardinia, followed by an Amalfi Coast Van trip and a few more luxurious nights in Paris… with a backpack. Limited to just a backpack, every item needs to earn its place. Here’s how to pack smart…

Shoes By Salomon. Bag by North Face, Bathers by Copy N Paste. Plugs by Heatwave. Slides by Tony Bianco. Other pieces by Digress.
