The right mens wash bag is a key piece of luggage for frequent travelers, men’s grooming enthusiasts, and those who take their grooming seriously. Flimsy plastic toiletry bags just won’t cut it when you have to lug around your essentials—from shampoo to deodorant to razors and brushes, there are quite a few items that need to be packed in a sturdy, roomy container. And a stylish one, at that. That’s why we consulted ten frequent travelers, grooming experts and style experts on the mens travel toiletry bags they rely on when they hit the road.
The rugged, waterproof Elviros bag has a large center compartment that can easily hold your deodorant, shaving cream and travel blow-dryer (plus a few sachets of face mist). A zippered side pocket holds the likes of toothbrushes and toothpastes. The cylinder shape of this Made in Ireland bag, designed by the founder of a luxury men’s hat company, makes it easy to pack and unpack.
When you’re not on the go, this snazzy wash bag from Danish brand Rains is sure to bring a bit of style to your bathroom shelf. The black leather bag is trimmed with the label’s signature embossment and secures with two metal zips across its top panel.
The Royce bag showcases the label’s century and a half of small-batch, finest-materials craftsmanship. It’s a handsome choice for an anniversary, graduation or just treating yourself. If you prefer to hang your grooming supplies, this hanging version from L.L. Bean will let you fully lay out everything in sight and avoid rooting through your entire bag. It zips open like a hard-shell suitcase and even has a daisy chain and clip so you can attach it to something else.
