Whether it be heading across the country for a work trip, flying to Barbados on a much needed vacation, or even just going across town to the new girlfriend’s apartment, having your essentials on hand, and looking good, is priceless.
The great news is becoming a master of classy and efficient travel is easy and inexpensive. Dopp kits tend to come in a particular format – they’re small, zippered and typically have interior fabric which is waterproof (read: accident proof.) While the similarities are unsurprisingly consistent, their outward appearance can vary dramatically.

Some of our favorite dopp kits that you can pick up right now are from the best names in luggage, menswear and leather goods. If you’re looking for plain, simple and classy, the Mason Leather Travel Kit by Kate Spade’s menswear partner, Jack Spade, is an obvious selection. Looking for something a little more rugged? We’d recommend the Drifter Dopp Kit by Tanner Goods, which has a waxed canvas exterior. And if you’re in the mood for a cheeky conversation starter, look no further than the Groomer dopp kit, by Dakine, which features 80s inspired snowboarding madmen.
