    GARMENT BAG

    Protect your finest outfits with a handy garment bag. We love it in this bold floral fabric, and even more so with jazzy piping. Both pretty and practical, this trusty travel companion will keep your favourite dresses crisp and clean.

    FOLDAWAY TRAVEL BAG

    This travel bag is a super useful size, but also comes with a zipper pocket so you can fold it up and pack it away when you're done. The perfect thing to have on hand for impromptu souvenir shopping.

    LUXURY ROBE

    This elegant robe is stylish and lightweight and just the ticket for leisurely mornings and long breakfasts. It's so easy to make, you're sure to be commissioned to make multiple matching ones for the next girls' trip!

    COSMETICS BAG

    An ideal size for your mini travel bottles or make-up, this cosmetics bag with a flat base will fit all your essentials. We love the pretty zip tassle, too.

    WASH KIT

    We all know how precious room in your travel bag is, and this roll-up wash kit is designed with space saving in mind. With multiple pockets you can stash all your goodies in one compact place.

    SLEEP MASK

    Whether you're travelling, sleeping off jet lag or just craving a lie-in, this padded sleep mask will do just the trick. We've used a ribbon tie for a comfy fit.
