How to organize your travel bag in style (without losing your soul)
Organizing your travel bag doesn't have to be boring or chaotic. With a little style (and good taste), you can carry everything you need without losing the magic of the details.
At Aroa Dedales, we believe that practicality can also be beautiful. That's why we've prepared this guide with real-life ideas to make your getaway toiletry bag functional, organized, and full of soul.
🧳 What can't be missing from your toiletry bag?
It all depends on your type of trip, but there are basics that never fail:
- Hygiene products: toothbrush, mini toothpaste, deodorant, solid soap or small bottle of soap
- Small personal pharmacy: pain reliever, bandages, antihistamine
- Essential cosmetics: facial moisturizer, sunscreen, lip balm
- Combs, hair ties, reusable makeup remover pads
- A small perfume or roll-on
💡 Tip: Think about routines, not just products. What do you do when you wake up and before you go to sleep? That's what you need to bring.
👜 How to choose the perfect toiletry bag for you
The ideal toiletry bag should adapt to you, not the other way around. We recommend:
- Flat toiletry bag: for short trips or as a handbag
- Square toiletry bag: when you need more capacity and visual order
- Extra case: for makeup, insulin, or tech (chargers, cables)
