11 Leather Dopp Kits That Get Better With Age
Dopp kits are an absolute must-have for any guy who travels.
After all, how else are you going to carry around all your grooming and toiletry essentials—including razors, deodorant, beard oil, beard wax, face creams, and your toothbrush?
(If you say “in a Ziploc bag”, you’re officially a savage.)
Dopp kits can be made from all sorts of materials, including canvas, cotton duck, ballistic nylon, even waterproof polyester.
But nothing, and I mean nothing, beats leather.
After all, leather starts off looking beautiful, but just grows more gorgeous as it ages and develops that unique patina from use, scuffs, impacts, handling, and travel.
Truly stylish men will want to include a leather Dopp kit in their travel gear, so we’ve collected a list of the absolute best, selections that will only look better the longer you carry them.
