With its multiple easily accessible waterproof pockets separating your wet and dry items, it is the perfect solution for travel, sport, gym, swim or anywhere you get wet on the move. No need for multiple bags and no more wet clothes!

The Soaked Tote is made from 100% recycled polyester.
Is The Soaked Tote waterproof?
The outer shell is water resistant. The lining is waterproof.
Does The Soaked Tote meet airline carry-on luggage requirements in Australia?
Yes!
How should I look after my bag?
To ensure the longevity of your bag, we suggest using a cold gentle machine wash with a mild detergent. However, as frequent machine washing may affect the bag’s water resistance over time, we recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and only machine washing when it’s necessary. We discourage tumble drying, wringing, soaking, bleaching, dry cleaning or ironing. For optimal results, air dry the bag on a flat surface in the shade with all the pockets open.
Towels
What are the towels made from?
All our towels are made from 100% recycled polyester. The microfibre waffle fabric is quick drying, lightweight, compact, ultra absorbent and sand free.
What sizes are available?
We offer two towel sizes - 160 x 80 cm and 80 x 50 cm.
Do the towels come with a carry bag?
Yes, all our towels come with a handy drawstring pouch.
How do I care for my towel?
To maintain the quality of your towel we recommend a cold machine wash and line drying in the shade. Do not soak or bleach and avoid fabric softeners as it can reduce the absorbency of the towel over time.
Toiletry Bottles
What are the toiletry bottles made from?
Our toiletry bottles are made from 100% recycled materials and are BPA free.
What size are the toiletry bottles?
Our toiletry bottles hold 125 ml and are 12 cm high.
