Design for movement: The Lightweight Travel Edit

Timeless Travel Layers from an Independent London Womenswear Brand

There is a specific art to packing for a long journey. It requires a move away from the "just in case" mindset and toward a collection of pieces that work harder, weigh less, and stay beautiful from the first mile to the last.

At YIBRI, At YIBRI, we approach travel dressing as an ecosystem. When travelling long distances, every garment and object must justify its place — offering warmth without weight, protection without excess, and adaptability across changing climates and contexts. Designed in London, our pieces are developed for travellers who value longevity, restraint, and thoughtful construction.

1. The Science of Light Warmth

In long-distance travel, bulk is the enemy. You need outerwear that can be compressed into a cabin bag but lofts back into a protective shield the moment you land.

The 3M™ Thinsulate™ Puffer: Our Cropped Puffer is engineered for this exact purpose. Using 3M™ Thinsulate™ allows us to provide the insulation of a much larger coat in a very lightweight, compressible form. It’s the ultimate layer for those who move across different climates in a single day.

 

Texture as Armor: The Wool-Blend Textured Long Coat offers a structured alternative that handles the compression of travel surprisingly well. The texture hides the small creases of a journey, ensuring you arrive looking as composed as when you departed.  

 

2. The Multi-Tasking Knits

When space is at a premium, a sweater must be versatile enough for a cold flight, a casual walk, and a formal dinner.

The Weightless Warmth of Wool-Cashmere: Our Knit Sweater is the cornerstone of a long-distance wardrobe. The blend offers a high warmth-to-weight ratio, meaning you stay incredibly cosy without the bulk of traditional heavy wool.  

                                                                                            

The Crush-Proof Accessory: The Italian Yarn Wool Bucket Hat is a traveller’s secret. Unlike structured hats that require a dedicated box, this piece can be flattened in a suitcase or tucked into a seat-back pocket, springing back into its timeless silhouette the moment it's worn. the wool bucket hat made from Italian yarn adds a soft, packable layer, offering comfort and temperature regulation across indoor and outdoor environments.

 

3. Smart Vessels for the Long Haul

Lighter luggage starts with the bags themselves. Our coated cotton is chosen for its inherent strength and minimal weight.

The Medium size Transit Tote:

The medium-large tote accommodates movement across settings —  functioning equally well for travel days and everyday use. Its generous capacity allows for flexibility without feeling cumbersome.

 

Water-Resistant Organization: Long-distance travel often involves spills and humidity. Our make-up/ wash Bag is care-friendly and water-resistant, protecting your belongings from the unpredictability of transit.

Designed for Longevity, Not a Single Journey

YIBRI is an independent womenswear label based in London, founded and led by designer Yvonne Lin. Each piece is developed through a slow, considered process, produced in small batches between our London studio and trusted specialist seamstresses. Material choice, construction, and long-term wearability guide every decision.

These garments are not designed for a single destination or moment. They are made to be worn, re-worn, and relied upon — forming a timeless travel wardrobe for those drawn to slow fashion, sustainable design, and minimalist womenswear beyond trends.

As the year turns, we invite you to move forward with pieces built for movement, designed to endure, and ready to accompany whatever paths lie ahead.
