Differences between backpack and suitcase
If you are in love with minimalism and at the same time you are also a freak of order, this method is the best to prepare your luggage and I will tell you more, it is not only suitable for those traveling in the company of the suitcase, but also for those who wants to leave with the backpack on his shoulders!
I used the KonMari method 3 times: during the trip to Sri Lanka, India, and finally for my one month trip to Peru!
The only difference between backpack and suitcase that you have to keep in mind is that while you will have everything available immediately with the suitcase, the backpack must be filled methodically.
Now I'll explain: for my tour in Peru I knew that I would travel in both cold and hot areas and of course I also knew in what order so, I entered the sushi dressed using logic and not by chance.
First I put on the clothes for the summer season and then those for the winter season, as I would need them first. This way you will have a neat backpack filled with logical sense!
As for small accessories and small clothing such as panties, bras, socks, etc., you could use travel bags to put in the empty spaces; the suitcase or backpack will be even more tidy!
My advice on how to pack with the KonMari method ends here and as always I hope I have been useful to you!
