The chances are that you probably already have a toiletry bag. But here comes the major question, is it the best men’s toiletry bag? No. We thought not.
While the lockdowns basically screwed up our 2020 travel plans, you were probably doing what the majority of the world was doing – scrolling through your Instagram news feed and scouting the coolest hotels and locations to check your luggage into this (or next) year.
Wash bags aren’t just for globetrotting though. If, like us, organisation plays a major role in your daily routine, something to store your essential grooming bits in an orderly fashion at home is, without doubt, a real game changer. Just imagine your sink minus all the clutter – literal heaven come cleaning day.
Another major bonus is that investing in a good one is great for the planet. How so? Those pesky see-through plastic bags and supermarket carriers will be replaced by a chic leather or designer alternative that oozes sustainable longevity.
For those unfamiliar with the world of grooming storage, the best brands out there today kit out their dopp kits with plenty of features designed to suit the mod-con-loving millennial.
These include kitsch designs, fun shapes, secret pockets and bonus features like snazzy zippers and waterproof interiors – fashion houses have even latched onto the craze (hello, Prada).
Now we’ve blatantly tempted you to buy one, here are some of the finest wash bags out there. From quintessentially British brands to chic Italian designers, as well as sporty mega institutions and those adored by the fashion-loving influencer crew, we have one for every kind of shopper.
