Mumi Design Travel Garment Bag Clothes Folder, Blue, L, Modern

I bought this for a cruise I was going on. I had many blouses I needed to take for the 10 days and I didn't want them to arrive wrinkled...as irons are a no-no on ships. (they have them in the laundry rooms) I packed 14 blouses into this and when I unpacked on the ship...they had been held perfectly in place and no terrible wrinkles. I hung them all right away and the few wrinkles from the folding disappeared! Easy to follow instructions included and it functioned as it was advertised to do. Way better than the cubes at keeping wrinkles at bay. I will be buying more for pants now.

I use a packing board to keep dress clothes organized and unwrinkled, but the one I've had for years was too big for my new downsized Travelpro Maxlite International carryon. This one did fit the lid compartment, but it was poorly made and, for what it was, way overpriced. The sewing was lumpy and puckered, and the front flaps didn't grab and hold as well as they should. I decided to return it and spend a couple of dollars more on an Eagle Creek one.

The clothes folder arrived quickly , was well packaged, and undamaged. The clothes folder is a little flimsy. I guess you could fold one dress shirt in there and keep it flattened. I personally don't need a piece of plastic to fold around my shirt when there are sections in your luggage for this purpose. But, if you maybe need to carry around an extra pressed shirt then you might need this. It could probably fit in your briefcase.

I feel like every time I go on a trip, I spend the first two hours after arriving ironing my clothes. I am happy to test out anything that might reduce that wasted vacation time. I tested this product by taking two 100% cotton dress shirts (One XXL and one XL) and folding them into this as directed. I then stored the bag in my bookcase for between heavy books for 24 hours to simulate the "scrunching" in a suitcase. I then removed the two shirts and checked the "wrinkle status". First off, while I wouldn't really need to "card" to fold the shirts, it did help to get it to exactly the size of the bag, and I felt that there were probably less wrinkles in the fold, so that was a positive. The real negative I noticed when using this is that the sizing was wrong for the shirt length (it was perfect for the width). The shirts were about 4-5" longer than the card when folded in half, which meant that I had an awkward extra little fold at the bottom. This showed as an extra pleat at the unveiling at the end. I think it also would limit the number of garments that fit in the bag. The unveiling showed minimal wrinkles. You could definitely see the fold lines where the folds were, and in one spot I did get a little wrinkling at what would have been the corner of the board. However, this is a big improvement to the wrinkling I have gotten when rolling the shirts or trying to fold them neatly into my travel pods. I believe my ironing time will be cut down with this product. Unlike other reviewers, I found that the envelope style closure was advantageous to neatness of folding (compared to the travel pods), so I think this is a good idea for this purpose. However, I agree with other reviewers that the price point is high. I also think for my size, having this a little longer would greatly improve its usefulness.

I expected this to be much more useful than it actually turned out to be when I used it on a recent trip. It could all be user error, but I really didn’t notice any difference in the clothes that I folded and stored in the bag and the ones I folded myself and placed in my suitcase. It just seems unnecessarily complicated for something that provides few benefits.
