Waxed Canvas vs. Leather Dopp Kits
When deciding on the material of your Dopp kit, there’s a few things to think about. First things first, what is your style? What will the conditions be when you’re using your toiletry bag? We recommend choosing a Dopp kit based on where you’ll be using it most. If you’ll be braving the elements, consider a tech fabric or something more rugged like a waxed canvas toiletry bag. Not hitting the great outdoors this time? Consider investing in a quality leather Dopp kit for both its durability and style. Whichever you choose all depends on you and your adventures.
