Regardless of how much skincare and makeup you bring, you need a good toiletries bag.
That means one which has plenty of room, lots of different zipped compartments and is easy to store — whether on a dressing table or hanging off a door.
Below, Best Picks rounds up five of the best toiletry bags for your travels in 2024. You’re welcome.
1. BAGSMART Toiletry Travel Bag with Hanging Hook, $79.99, Amazon
First on my list is this revolutionary toiletry bag, sold on Amazon.
It’s winning praise from shoppers around the world, who love just how space-saving it is for getting in all your skincare, haircare and beauty essentials.
BAGSMART’S Toiletry Travel Bag with Hanging Hook is the number one best-selling toiletry bag on Amazon.
For just $79.99, you’ll get four compartments to store items, as well as elastic straps to hold your bottles upright, a double zipper compartment for easy access to items without having to prise open the entire bag, and transparent sides so you can see exactly what’s inside.
The “game-changing” washbag also features a 360-degree swivel non-slip metal hook for hanging on the back of a door, meaning you can quickly and easily display your toiletries without having to put them on a benchtop or surface.
Those who have bought it love the bag’s practical design and stylish finish.
It’s also available in a number of colours, including grey, black, green and blue — and is waterproof in case you have any nasty spillages.
“Took this on my trip to Italy. Don’t know how I have travelled this long without it! It fits so much and is extremely convenient and accessible!” one five-star reviewer wrote.
“I love this toiletry bag! It fits everything I need for a month-long trip, and holds more than you’d think. I love how it folds up into a convenient size for packing. I’ve sent the shopping link to my friends who travel. I highly recommend this toiletry bag!” another said.
2. July Hanging Toiletry Bag, $125, July
Second on my list is this gorgeous toiletry bag from July’s new and ultra-stylish Personal Care Collection.
For $125, you’ll get a super stylish place to store your products, complete with a hidden hook for easy storage and hanging, a separate toothbrush tab, clear PVC pocket to put all the essentials you need to see and a split pocket system to separate all items.
The washbag is made from water-resistant nylon with leather trims, so it’s both practical and stylish.
The Hanging Toiletry Bag comes in a number of autumnal-inspired tones including light brown, cream, grape and black.
It’s one of a number of new toiletry options from luggage label of the moment, July.
If you prefer an Open Toiletry Bag, you can snap up this one for $95 in the same colourways.
Alternatively, you can get the Vanity Cosmetic Case for $125 if you prefer something with a hard shell.

Heading off on a long-haul trip?
Look no further than this TUMI Madeline Cosmetic Bag, which has three transparent interior compartments and a detachable pouch for optimal organisation.
With the additional option of monogramming, shoppers can enjoy double-zip entry to the main compartment, a top carry handle with leather wrap trim and handy front-zip section.
If you’re someone who is a bit clumsy, you’ll also love the fact the bag has a water and stain-resistant coating, which has been cleverly engineered to improve the longevity of the fabric.
Those who have bought the toiletries bag have given it an impressive five-star rating.
