Let’s face it, for the discerning gentleman, travel is an art form. The thrill of a new destination, the promise of adventure, and the satisfaction of a perfectly packed suitcase. But all too often, this meticulous process is derailed by a single, chaotic item: the toiletry bag. A jumble of half-empty bottles, errant razor caps, and the ever-present existential dread of your toenail clippers making a late-night rendezvous with your toothbrush. It’s a travel tragedy in miniature, and it’s a problem that the good people at Gravel have decided to solve with a range of toiletry bags so cleverly designed, they’re practically a work of genius.
Gravel’s mission is simple: to bring order to the chaos of personal hygiene on the road. Designed in the United States, these aren’t your run-of-the-mill dopp kits. They are a masterclass in compact, organised design, crafted to fit seamlessly into any type of travel, from a quick business trip to a month-long backpacking expedition. Gravel offers a tiered approach to organisation, ensuring there’s a perfect bag for every type of traveller and every level of packing obsession. Check out their best toiletry bags below:
Explorer MINI™
For the minimalist, the Explorer MINI™ is a revelation at a price of £30. It’s the ultimate lesson in packing light. With two separate compartments, it provides a crucial boundary between your essentials, so your toothbrush remains blissfully unaware of the existence of your toenail clippers. A dedicated toothbrush pocket, which can even accommodate an electric one (with the head removed, of course), ensures your most vital grooming tool stays pristine.
The clever design even features a built-in strap so you can hang it from a shower head, a towel rack, or even a tree branch, making it the perfect companion for any destination, no matter how remote.
Explorer SLIM™
Stepping up the scale is the Explorer SLIM™ (£38). This is for the traveller who needs a bit more space without sacrificing compactness. Boasting six pockets, it’s a haven of organisation for your travel-sized toiletries. The durable, easy-to-clean material means you can wipe away the inevitable spills and splashes of life on the road with minimal fuss.
Like its smaller sibling, it features an adjustable hideaway strap, so you can hang it anywhere and keep your gear off questionable hotel countertops.
Explorer PLUS™
Then there’s the Explorer PLUS™ (£61), the perfect solution for the traveller who likes to be prepared for anything. With seven pockets, this bag is a fortress of organisation. It even includes a clear, TSA-compliant shower bag, making airport security scans a breeze and saving you from the undignified scramble of transferring liquids.
The durable construction is designed to pack a ton while remaining remarkably compact, a feat of engineering that has won the trust of travellers worldwide.
Explorer MAX™
Finally, for the traveller who simply can’t leave anything behind, there’s the Explorer MAX™ (£68). With a whopping eight pockets, this bag is a command center for your entire grooming arsenal. It’s for the person who needs options, who believes a well-groomed life should not be compromised by the limitations of luggage space. Like the rest of the range, it’s durable, easy to clean, and hangs up anywhere.
The Gravel toiletry bags are more than just a place to store your stuff; they are a commitment to cleanliness, orderliness, and the seamless travel experience every gentleman deserves.
