If you were around last week, you may have seen the little challenge I did on a bunch of cosmetic bags, all in the name of science of course. Well to my devastation, just a few days ago I came across another collection of toiletry bags that would have been perfect for the road test. Bummer!

Even though I didn’t get to include these in the official challenge, I wanted to share them with you anyway because they look really cool and may be just the one you are looking for. I have to admit, I have never heard of the brand Tender Love + Carry but that is probably because they are just launching into Australia. Phew. I thought I was out of the loop there of a second.

I have been browsing their website for hours and I can’t get over how many genius designs they have come up with. Sure, there are the usual pouch and pencil case shapes, but they have also gone far bigger and better than any I have come across to date. Oh boy do I want some, and today I am going to show you the ones I think are uniquely inventive.

Caddy Hanging Traveller

AU $50 rrp

First thing that attracted me to this particular bag was the wide range of colours and patterns. My personal fave is Carnival, a tutti-frutti pinstripe you can see from a mile away. Upon opening the bag, you will find the expected two clear compartments, but you also score an additional cosmetic bag in matching print. There is an external rear pocket for extra storage and both bags are made from a durable microfiber fabric.

As you can see from the image, the bag is quite roomy and you would have no issue fitting large, hard to stow bottles or jars. The large fabric handles make it easy to carry, but hanging it may be an issue if you don’t have a hook or door knob that will hold it.

While this bag is a little simpler than the Traveller above, it is just as handy … oh and you save $2. The Hanging Bath Bag also opens down the middle to reveal two clear compartments with zip closure. On the inside there is a fold out pocket that has a metal hook attached, allowing for easy hanging.

This bag is also made from a durable microfiber fabric so you can be sure it will travel well.

Other Bags

There are so many great products on their website so it is an utter shame they don’t sell direct (otherwise I would have bought a tonne). I know I am going to be hunting down the above ones and the Up + Over, an adorable hanging basket type doobalacky.

They also have an appropriately named men’s range called Tough Love and Carry. Hilarious!
