To maximise the space in your luggage, a combination of the two can actually work best. "I personally like to do a mixture of the two techniques, depending on the material. Some materials just pack better with a roll, but for the majority, it's a fold into my packing cubes," Liard explains. "We tested the space saving of rolling and folding at the Folding Lady HQ and it was the difference of two items — not enough to declare one technique saving more space over the other!"
She reveals the items that fold better are blazers, jackets, and anything delicate or with embellishment. Rolling works best for dresses, tights, and knits.
