Men's toiletry bag: travel, gym and leather

The men's wash bag from the department is perfect for travel and gym sessions: Rains W3 in coated fabric, The North Face Base Camp Travel Canister and Voyager, travelite Air Base, wash bags Hindbag Gaspard and Leon in organic cotton, and leather wash bags Le Tanneur. Razors, toothbrushes and shower gel fit right in.

The Toiletry Bag, an Essential Piece of Luggage

Whether you're going for two days or two weeks, the toiletry bag is one of the first things you pack in your bag. It protects your belongings from leaks and keeps everything you need for the bathroom together.

The section offers technical bags, cotton bags, and leather bags.

Rains W3, the Waterproof

The Danish brand Rains, born in Aarhus, applies its waterproof fabric from raincoats to the toiletry bag. The W3 handles splashes from the sink and contains a shampoo leak.

The Base Camp Range

The Travel Canister from the Base Camp range, available in two sizes, has a cylindrical shape and a sturdy fabric, inherited from hiking bags. The flatter Base Camp Voyager is organized into compartments for your razor, toothbrush, and bottles.

travelite, Hindbag, and Le Tanneur

The Air Base bag from travelite, a luggage specialist, complements its suitcases. Hindbag, a French brand, offers Gaspard and Leon made from organic cotton, sewn in an Indian community workshop. Le Tanneur, a French leather goods maker, designs leather models that age beautifully over the years.

What to Put in Your Toiletry Bag?

Hygiene: toothbrush, toothpaste, shower gel, deodorant.
Shaving: razor, shaving foam or gel, aftershave balm.
Skincare: moisturizer, lip balm, sunscreen.
Little Emergencies: plasters, nail clippers, pain relief.

The Gym Bag

For the gym or the pool, a compact and water-resistant bag is enough: shower gel, deodorant, comb. It goes from the locker room to the sports bag without wetting everything else.

The Bag for Flying

At security, the bottles in your hand luggage are generally presented in a transparent pouch, according to airport guidelines. The large bag travels in the hold, while a small compliant kit stays with you.

To Hang or to Lay Down?

Some bags can be hung by a hook, handy in a hotel bathroom without a shelf. Others, rigid ones, can stand on a sink. Choose based on your usual travels.

Leather, Cotton, or Coated Fabric?

Coated fabric is water-resistant and easy to wipe clean: it's the most practical. Cotton is lightweight and washable. Leather is the most elegant, but it's sensitive to water: consider an inner pouch for the bottles.

No Leaks

Screw each cap on tightly, slide the bottles into a pouch and store them upright. Travel sizes, being smaller, reduce both weight and the risk of leaks.

The Weekend Bag

For two nights, a compact bag is enough: travel sizes, razor, toothbrush. It fits into a weekend bag without taking up the space of a pair of shoes. The Base Camp Canister S is well suited for this purpose.

The Long-Term Bag

For a two-week trip, plan for a larger bag with compartments that separates daily care, shaving, and medicine. The Base Camp Canister L or Voyager meets this need.

Shaving While Travelling

Slip your razor into a case or a dedicated compartment, so it doesn't damage the rest. In the cabin, razors with removable blades may be refused at some airports: a disposable or electric razor causes fewer issues.

A Gift Idea

A leather toiletry bag or a Rains bag makes a useful gift for a birthday or Father's Day. Filled with a few products, it turns into a gift set.

Care

When you return, empty it, wipe the inside with a damp sponge, and let it dry open. For leather, use a dry cloth and nourishing cream; for cotton, wash if the label allows it.
