Beautiful and holds a lot
The BagSmart Toiletry Bag in Teal is a beautiful bag made with quality materials. It has a soft brushed microfiber on the exterior and the handles. The front and back are quilted and lightly padded.
PROS:
- The only bag I have found that has an extra large SWIVELING metal hook that fits on a closet pole! The hook is a tiny bit smaller than a wire clothes hanger. It takes a little nudge to push the rubber tip over my closet pole.
- One of the rare bags that has a method of securing the hook to prevent it from flopping around, blocking a pocket, or interfering with the exterior zipper!
- Soft, smooth high quality plastic windows on EVERY pocket. This is different from all the other toiletry bags I have tried. Other bags have stiff, wrinkled, easily cracked plastic windows usually on a single pocket.
- Thick high quality elastic straps INSIDE the two middle pockets to separate bottles and prevent them from tipping over. Two straps of elastic stitched in different widths to accommodate different size bottles.
- Smooth nylon zippers both inside and out. Two-way zipper on the exterior—a must have!
CONS:
- The exterior metal zipper pulls are pretty, but a bit small and have three articulation points (like chain links) which make them move around when I try to grasp them more than I like. The interior zipper pulls are normal with one articulation point, but they feel like plastic.
- Like all fold-up bags, this bag must be opened up at least three panels in order to access the contents. However, this bag nicely features an extra zipper on the third pocket which allows access from either the top or the bottom depending on the orientation of the bag. Time will tell if this is practical.
- The exterior looks nice and water will bead up on the surface if splashed, but it also will absorb water if not brushed off soon after. It feels similar to a microfiber lens cloth for eyeglasses.
