Dopp Kits, not just for men anymore!
Dopp Kits, Toiletry Bags – longstanding tradition but with a facelift!
Dopp bags or toiletry bags are so useful. Traditionally made of cloth, leather or vinyl and used for storing mens grooming tools for travel. The Dopp kit has become a staple to men and woman alike to keep their toiletries organized.
The History of the Dopp bag
The Dopp bag was designed by Jerome Harris for his uncle Charles Doppelt, a German immigrant to the United States in the early 1900’s. Dopp kits used to be traditional gifts given to young men as they ascended into manhood. The popularity of Dopp kits spiked during WWII when Dopp kits were issued to GI’s and recruits. For everything you need to know about Dopp kits we found this fun little site, The Art of Manliness, who also tells you all the traditional supplies for a Dopp bag and more.
AU’s Dopp Kit
A safe place to store your travel items or just to keep your toiletries organized, the Dopp kit was another perfect match for our Raincoat Cotton and Sailwax collections! We kept the traditional shape and added our favorite colors and prints. Raincoat cotton is water and stain resistant for life’s little mishaps and each Dopp kit is lined with nylon for easy cleaning. Our Sailwax collection is durable and handsome. We hope you like them. I use mine every day!
