2. DM Men's Hanging Toiletry Bag
Every traveling man needs a good travel kit. This Genuine Leather Carry On Tote/Duffle Bag and Hanging Toiletry Bag are great for travel, the gym, and sporting events. It gives you an easy way to keep your personal items like clothes, shoes, and toiletries organized. The Totes zippered opening allows for easy access to the large open space inside which is lined in nylon material to protect the leather. This Genuine Leather Tote/Bag also features two zippered end compartments and two front zip pockets for additional smaller items like jewelry, socks, or toiletries. Use the strong leather double handles, or use the detachable leather shoulder strap for easy carrying. Our leather hanging toiletry bag gives you an easy way to keep your cosmetics, vitamins, medicine, shaving cream, and toiletries organized! This toiletry kit is for the man who caries the basics to take care of himself. And I like that when unzipped, it can hang in the motel bathroom for easy access.
