Every time I travel, I struggle with how to put all those bottles, tubes, containers and makeup in the appropriate toiletry kit. I rarely carry on a suitcase, so what we’re talking about here is what goes into my checked bag. I’ve tried many types of kits: bulky fold overs, box-type, clear bags, opaque bags, all in one kits, and (to me, worst of all!) using up to six kits for one trip. Let me say, I really don’t think I travel with all that much! I try to follow all the “travel rules”– put shampoo, conditioner, lotions etc in travel size plastic bottles, buy the tiny tube of toothpaste and mini dental floss etc etc. Nevertheless, all those mini’s just DO add up.

EMME BAG

It was a mess. Yes, those print bags make a cute set and yes, they do hold a lot. But bulky and awkward? More than over the top on that. That big square bag in the set is usually overflowing with all shapes and sizes of bottles and containers.

One of my newest and greatest finds is the

EMME BAG!

EMME BAG
The EMME bag is an entire storage “system” for all your toiletries, makeup, tubes and anything else you carry with you on a trip. Many thanks to Susan at
Une Femme d’Un Certain âge
for her post earlier this year telling us of this bag! EMME is a woman-owned business and the customer service is the very best.
 Emily Constantini, creator and founder, is there to help you and to respond to any and all of your questions. When you order the bag you receive:

the bag
  • very complete adhesive label list
  • 
a huge selection of various size and shape plastic bottles, including spray
  • 
metal hanger
  • two attached zip out bags (use in your carry on?)

I’ve been playing around with all my usuals. The small compartments at the top here are perfect for makeup pads, contact lens, small tubes of sun block. Then the next tier, which is longer across , is perfect for toothbrush. On the left I have eye makeup remover and some liquid laundry soap.

Update!!
 I wrote all of the above post last week before actually using the Emme bag. And now I can tell you that, after using it on a trip, it works SO WELL. Those two top sections, with the smaller pockets, are perfect. It’s very helpful to be able to section off various categories. And, the zip out pouches are very, very helpful. I also, for the first time ever, was able to hang the bag on a hook in the small bathroom we were using. This will be a great plus for upcoming European bathrooms…tried and tested, the EMME bag is a
