The 23 Best Dopp Kits & Toiletry Bags for Men

Trust me. I didn’t know what a Dopp kit meant either. It’s simply a fancy way of saying a toiletry and grooming accessories bag. This fact only reminds me that I should never make fun of people who participate in that “I was this old when…” meme floating around the web.

I also didn’t realize that the Dopp kit was invented by a German immigrant named William Doppelt, who created and popularized the first toiletry case. But the use of Dopp kits didn’t kick into high gear until the American military issued them to soldiers during the second world war.

But now that I know and have been immersed in the world of searching out the best men’s Dopp kit in the world, I’ve come to understand that they come in a myriad of material options, sizes and sport different features. Some Dopp kits are made of leather, while others are made of nylon or canvas. Some have leak-resistant interiors, while some are meant to hang, and others still have a handle. Some even come with locks, cause you know, who wouldn’t want to lock up all their precious toiletries and toothpaste?

While Dopp Kits make great holiday gifts, they’re often used in travel situations, and while at present writing, not much of that is going around, I’ve learned another thing about Dopp kits. They’re a sort of write of passage for men, at least as far as grooming essentials go. It’s very likely that before you ever own a proper Dopp kit, you make do with packing your toiletries nilly willy and then regret having that toothpaste explode in your overnight bag.

So if you think you’ve packed everything in a neat and tidy way, the missing ingredient may be a great Dopp kit. It’s your gateway to keeping all of your grooming essentials, like your beard trimmer, nose & ear hair trimmer, wrapped up in a small, easy to carry bag and give you the opportunity to groom in style. After all, if you’ve just spent the night at your lady friend’s place, the second last thing you want to be pulling out is some sort of zip lock bag with your toothbrush in it. You’re a stylish man, now act like it. Here are 23 of the best and most stylish Dopp kits you can get your hands on. 

1. Vetelli Leather Toiletry Bag for Men

Let’s start this list of the best Dopp kits for men with this stylish leather Dopp kit with a vintage design that combines some rather modern features. First, this luxury bag includes an internal waterproof lining that will ensure any accidental spills of toothpaste, cologne, or other liquids will remain confined to the bag and not spill over into your larger bag or suitcase. Featuring two large and zippered compartments, its easy to organize all of your grooming gear. With a lifetime guarantee from Vetelli, it’s hard to go wrong with this luxurious and stylish Dopp kit.

2. Topo Designs – Dopp Kit Heritage

This classic looking Dopp Kit is a premium product that is priced like a non-premium product. But this triangular-shaped Dopp kit, built from Horween leather, is a perfect toiletry bag for men wanting a sleek look with a fully lined pack cloth interior. There’s no cheaping out on any materials with this Dopp Kit, as it uses a variety of high-quality materials and components such as YKK zippers, webbing pull tabs and a paracord hook loop attached to the zipper pull. This Dopp kit should be big enough for all of your toiletry toting needs with a spacious large interior.

3. Billykirk – No. 477 Carryall Toiletry Bag

This Dopp kit is definitely for the man that wants to bring a subtle sophistication to his toiletry bag. This bag is built from hardy waxed canvas and full-grain leather, available in a black finish or a subtle camouflage pattern. It’s a durable Dopp kit that’s rugged enough for an outdoor camping adventure, but just as comfortable at a sophisticated five-star bathroom. Everything about this men’s Dopp kit screams quality. That starts with a massive full-zipper that provides complete visibility to the contents inside the bag and continues with the sleek nickel-plated brass hardware.

4. Habitoux – DOPP Kit Toiletry Bag for Men & Women

Returning to the land of affordable Dopp kits for a moment, this finely crafted bag from the brand Habitoux features a ton of exterior and interior pockets to make organizing all your grooming gear a touch easier. That’s always a nice touch, isn’t it? Made with durable cotton canvas and accented throughout with small leather touches, including the zipper pulls and handles, this a very nice looking travel organizer. It’s available in Khaki, Grey, Pink and Woodland Camo colours and comes in two sizes: Medium and Large.

5. Bellroy Dopp Kit

I’ll freely admit that Bellroy is one of my favourite bag and accessories companies. Between their fantastic backpacks, phone cases, and wallets, this is a company that knows how to make some pretty amazing EDC products. And while I wouldn’t classify a Dopp Kit as an everyday carry item, it truly didn’t surprise me to realize that Bellroy makes one of the most popular men’s toiletry bags available.

Featuring a water-resistant lining that is easy to clean, this Dopp kit is available in three lovely colours, including black, charcoal, marine blue, and a beigy lunar. Designed for regular travel, this Dopp kit features internal mesh pockets to help you organize your items quickly and keep them separated. The handy magnetic sleeve allows you to store your toothbrush or razor neatly separated from everything else in the bag.

6. Hardgraft – Refresh Dopp Kit

If you’re looking to make a bit of a statement with your toiletry bag, there’s maybe no better way than to do it with something a bit unconventional. That description certainly fits the Refresh Dopp Kit, whose primary innovation is that it’s a vertical Dopp kit designed to minimize its footprint. This makes for a perfect travel toiletry bag for every man that knows space may be limited. If you think about it, most of your grooming accessories such as shampoos, shaving gels, deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrush are all naturally situated in a vertical orientation. So why shouldn’t your Dopp kit be arranged in the same way?

The base of this beautiful, stylish and luxurious Dopp kit is made of vegetable-tanned leather, while the top is made of relaxed wool. Lined with a wipe-clean lining and made in Italy, this is as classy a Dopp kit as I’ve ever seen.

7. Harry’s Toiletry Bag

If you’re a fan of podcasts, I’m sure you’ve heard of the Harry’s brand before. This is the company that started in 2012 on the simple premise that they could create a subscription service for men that offered astonishingly good razor blades at a fraction of the big brand names’ cost. Their business model turned out to be pretty ingenious, and as a result, the same company that owns the Schick brand of shaving products offered to purchase them for a whopping 1.4 billion dollars. That deal is yet to go through, as the FTC has sued to stop the sale. But in the meantime, Harry’s still offers some pretty awesome grooming products, including this handsome toiletry bag.

Made from a durable, tear-resistant and water-resistant fabric, this unassuming bag has a rather cute Mammoth logo on the bottom and some handy features, including a fabric loop, sealable zipper, interior mesh pouch and water-resistant interior.

8. Herschel Supply Co. Toiletry Kit

Available in more colours and patterns than you can shake a stick at, even some that are decidedly feminine, this simple, reliable and durable Dopp kit has a waterproof zipper along with a front storage pocket. Perhaps the best part of this toiletry bag, however, is the signature striped fabric liner that offers a hint of vintage style.

9. Briggs & Riley Baseline-Expandable Toiletry Kit – Black

Some men like to roll like the Dark Knight, stealthy, clad in black and sexy as hell. And while that description is evocative of Batman, it’s also applicable to this Dopp kit that features an expandable bottom to give you an extra 33% more packing space. Think of it as two toiletry bags in one: a slim and compact one, and a roomier version for those extra-long trips. In any case, this Dopp kit is made with a ballistic nylon fabric that is water repellant and abrasion-resistant. The interior is waterproof to prevent any accidental spills into your larger luggage.

10. Peak Design – Wash Pouch

I’m starting to think that anyone can call a toiletry bag anything they want. Oh sure, they’re commonly called that, or. Dopp kit, but this company calls it a Wash Pouch. And while that’s all fine and dandy, it’s not the name that makes for a good Dopp kit for men. It’s the combination of design, features and price. With that said, this a very versatile bag designed for all your manly grooming accessories. There’s tons of purposeful simplicity built-in, but also plenty of features.

First, the included stowable hook allows you to quickly hang this Dopp kit, providing it with a level of functionality not seen in most toiletry bags. The network of nylon mesh pockets combined with a magnetically-sealed toothbrush pocket, external razor pocket and high-quality materials, makes for quick and easy organization.

11. Defy Bags – Defy Dopp Kit

This travel kit from Defy Bags is definitely designed for a man. It’s boxy, it’s big, and it comes in only two colours, both of the masculine persuasion. Depending on your colour choice, you can expect either a sexy waxed canvas exterior in grey or a finely polished Horween leather in black. Both materials provide plenty of strength while the 4L interior provides a ripstop, military-grade parachute material liner. So no matter what you wind up toting around in this bag, you can expect this bag to contain it.

12. AER – Dopp Kit

When you produce a product this sublime, simple and subtle, why overcomplicate the name? Good choice marketing people at Aer! This Dopp kit is a great and affordable way to organize all your travel grooming accessories, even if you need more than the average man because you’re fancy and stylish or if you have simply way too much hair to groom. With multiple storage pockets and water-resistant materials throughout, this bag has plenty of thoughtful features.

13. Alpine Swiss Hudson Travel Toiletry Bag Shaving Dopp Kit

Featuring a spacious design with a medium-sized compartment, this Dopp kit is for those that want to find that sweet spot between capacity and compact travel. Made of 1200 denier ballistic nylon, the Alpine Swiss toiletry case is a simple but functional Dopp kit intended for anyone that wants one at a budget price without compromising quality too far.

14. Nomatic – Toiletry Bag 2.0

Available in two sizes, including regular and small, the Nomatic toiletry bag is made with water-resistant fabric that makes the bag easy to clean and contains unwanted spills. With a relatively slim profile and minimalist design, this Dopp kit includes a hanging strap and a dedicated toothbrush pocket. Three internal mesh pockets provide walled off areas that are just the right size to get your grooming items organized.

15. Flint & Tinder – Full-Grain Leather Dopp Kit

Made from supple German leather, this offering from Flint and Tinder is perhaps you would expect a perfectly suave gentleman to bring with them in their suitcase. It’s a perfect travel companion for those that value simple and minimalist aesthetics combined with the knowledge that you won’t be embarrassed with this sitting on your bathroom counter. The Pebbled leather is super soft to the touch, and this black Dopp kit uses the highest quality zippers on the market.

16. J. Stark – Clark Dopp Kit

Is this the Dopp kit that a modern-day Game of Thrones Stark would carry? Well, it looks rugged enough to be carried by any of the Stark children. This water-resistant kit uses an exterior waxed canvas and seam lining to keep any unnecessary liquid inside and excessive moisture from getting in. With two interior pockets and a matching antique zipper complemented by rivets and buckles all made from the same brass finish, this is a lovely and traditional looking Dopp kit; any man will be proud to take on trips of any length.

17. Shinola – Zip Travel Kit

Here is another fantastic travel kit made for men from a brand that you normally wouldn’t associate with men’s toiletry bags. Shinola is better known for its amazing collection of watches, bags, and wallets. Masters at material handling, especially when it comes to leather, Shinola has created a classically handsome Dopp kit here that features a nylon-lined interior along with two interior pockets and a card pocket. This toiletry accessories bag makes for an amazing gift for any man in your life, and best of all, it’s from a company that’s trying to bring manufacturing back to Detroit in a major way.

18. Hazard 4 Reveille Rugged Grooming Kit

This tough and rugged toiletry bag is the kind of Dopp kit a navy seal would bring along on a mission. Or at least into the war theatre. Made with rounded corners to prevent snagging on anything else. With a large side-pocket for separating shavers and toothbrushes, this Dopp kit has a very nice system for opening and hanging from a swivelling steel suspension hook. Available in black and coyote, this bag is made almost entirely out of Dupont(R) 1000D Cordura nylon meaning you can expect it to last a lifetime.

So yeah, this large Dopp kit has been designed to feel right at home in military barracks, 3rd world lodgings or desert-tent encampments, but that doesn’t mean it won’t also feel right at home on the bathroom counter of a five-star hotel. Plenty of internal pockets and segments keep all your grooming accessories neatly stored while a clear interior window can serve as a mirror in a pinch.

19. KA-LOO-I – Toiletry Bag for Men

Made from tough 12-oz canvas, this is another rather hardy Dopp kit that you can rely on for years to come. Generously sized, this kit features strong, high-quality YKK zippers and has plenty of space for all your shaving and grooming necessities. The bag’s bottom and loop handle are made from luxe Vegan leather, which provides a sumptuous contrast from the upper, waxed canvas. The interior also boasts a smooth and water-resistant nylon lining alongside two roomy interior pockets to keep things in check inside. So instead of getting your dad, boyfriend, boss or favourite business traveller another ho-hum gift, get them this Dopp Kit, which they’ll immediately realize is something that they can depend on.

20. Heimplanet Monolith Dopp Kit

Not every Dopp kit is designed for the purpose that this uncompromising bag from Heimplanet is. There is a level of craftiness and quality woven into every aspect of this Dopp kit that most men will immediately learn to appreciate. First, this toting toiletry bag is made from a combination of 840D ballistic nylon and TPU coated 840D ballistic nylon. That’s all to say that it’s extremely tough, durable and water-resistant. Next are the multiple zipper closures that provide plenty of access points, perhaps more than you’d see on any traditional Dopp kit. And of course, there’s the fact that this is a cleverly designed hybrid bag allowing it to be a free-standing kit or to be hung via the included hook and adjustable strap.

The interior is organized into two primary compartments and features a small detachable mirror if you don’t have one handy.

21. Toupons – Men’s Travel Toiletry Organizer

It’s taking a great deal of restraint not to make fun of this brand’s name, but now that I’ve drawn your attention to it, I think that’s sufficient ridicule. And while the brand name may be a bit ridiculous, there’s nothing funny about this awesome Dopp kit they’ve made. Available in a massive amount of colour and material options, this waterproof Dopp kit uses leather accents and has plenty of space to satiate even the most space-hungry of stylish men.

22. Osprey Packs Ultralight Washbag Roll

Ok, I’m cheating just a touch by including this washbag roll, as it’s not exactly a full-sized Dopp kit. But sometimes, a full-sized toiletry bag is not what’s called for. Sometimes you want something a bit more compact and perhaps even something a bit more sporty and rugged. Maybe you’re in the outdoor on a multi-day hike, and there isn’t a bathroom counter for hundreds of miles in each direction. That’s where this Osprey washbag roll comes into play. Constructed out of tough ripstop nylon, this ultralight washbag roll includes a secure hanging hook and integrated mirror. The multiple meshed pockets ensure that you can keep all of your shaving and grooming products in place.

23. Aer Travel Kit

This all-black Dopp kit from Aer is one of the most smartly designed toiletry bags on the market. Its combination of features and materials make for a near-perfect bag to organize all the necessary items to keep you fresh and looking good while you’re travelling. Using ultra water and tear-resistant Cordura 1680D ballistic nylon, this bag features multiple pockets, elastic organizers, and zippers for secure and snug storage. Like with other high-end travel organizers, it also includes a hanging hook to give you access to all your essential grooming objects.
