How to Pack for an Overseas or Out-of-Town Buying Trip
When I traveled to France this summer, I brought one extra suitcase—and filled it with treasures.
No shipping, no customs forms, no stress. Just me, a rolling bag, and a mission. Bringing everything home myself gave me control over how items were wrapped, packed, and handled—no smashed crocks or bent artwork. This trip was more of a “practice run”—a chance to test strategies, try different packing techniques, and figure out what works (and what absolutely doesn’t) for future sourcing adventures abroad.
Whether you’re heading overseas or just flying out of state to hit a few markets, these tips might help you plan your own buying trip, keep things organized, and get those beautiful finds home safely.
