Simplicitas's clean and clever solution keeps your toiletries protected when traveling and conveniently hung when you arrive at your destination. Most toiletry bags are made of soft collapsible fabrics which are great for conserving space in luggage, but don't provide much protection to keep plastic bottles and tubes from exploding or leaking. The 182 Gram Toiletry Bag is made of durable polypropylene and a heavy duty elastic band connected to one half holds the two halves closed when your bag is on the go.
To open and hang, just take the two halves apart and stack the top half inverted to create a two-tiered case. The elastic band is then used to hang the case with all its contents in the shower, on the door or in a closet. This feature is also convenient when space is limited, counters are wet, and you're just not comfortable laying your toothbrush on unknown surfaces. It's also dishwasher safe for easy clean.
We first reported on these in our gift guide when they were only available through Simplicitas and we're pleased to see they've made it into Flight 001 where they're available for $35.

Engineered to fit Macs, the ingeniously simple construction uses the stretchiness of neoprene for a snug fit that, with the aid of small pull tabs, allows the laptop to slide in and out of a narrow opening at one...
by Passa Chattra After realizing this wasn't an egg screwed into the wall, I had the "ah-ha!" feeling upon learning it is in fact a vintage soap hook. Made by Pro Ven Di, it was originally designed for French public school bathrooms and adds a little charm to a daily (at least, we hope) process. The solid chrome bracket can be mounted near the...
