Women's wash bags, vegan crossbody bags & backpacks

Choosing a women's wash bag

A women's wash bag should hold your bottles upright, wipe clean inside and close firmly when packed. Tikauo makes printed designs such as Bahar Floral in yellow, pink and blue, Shalimar, Firdos, Sakana and Mirage, plus matching makeup pouches. A hanging hook is handy in small bathrooms, and a darker print hides marks on long trips. Bare Addiction makes large and small travel bags, AMOKA DALO makes the St. Ignacio washbag, Sintra Naturals makes one in upcycled canvas and Glisten Cosmetics makes the Po wash bag. We checked each brand's materials and how its bags are made before listing it.

Vegan crossbody bag styles

Votch makes each vegan crossbody bag here in bio-based bamboo leather, with styles such as the Silvie and Margot, plus the Luna phone bag and the River hobo bag. Frida Rome makes the WEEK/END crossbody handbag, plus a travel dust bag and strap extenders to go with it. A vegan crossbody bag keeps your hands free on busy days, and a slim one fits a phone, keys and a card holder. Votch also sells a logo bag strap and an AppleSkin pouch.

Vegan backpack and hip bag picks

Komodo sells backpacks by MELA, including the Ansvar and Amar roll-tops, the Mela II and the Balamani, and Votch makes the Laurie vegan backpack in bamboo leather. For hands-free walks, MELA makes the Bhavin hip bag in black, olive and sunflower, plus a corduroy version. A roll-top expands when you need more room, which suits commutes and weekends. Padded straps make a difference on longer walks, so check the listing photos.

Weekend bags and care

So Just Shop sells a vegan weekend bag and a recycled cotton beach bag, and Deidei makes a satin mini bag and fun bag charms shaped like pea pods and carrots. Wipe bamboo leather with a damp cloth and keep it out of direct heat. Empty and air your women's wash bag after each trip. A wash bag also makes an easy Christmas present. Women's Body Care has travel-friendly deodorant, Women's Belts has belts in bamboo leather, Bags has more bags, and Can leather be sustainable? The honest answer compares leather alternatives.
