So, naturally, my brain went straight to: “DUPES! WHERE ARE THE DUPES?!” Because let’s be real, shelling out serious cash for a toiletry bag that’s just gonna get smeared with foundation and shampoo? Nah, I’m good.
Okay, okay, I know, *technically* the word “dupe” implies it looks almost exactly the same. But honestly, I’m kinda just looking for something that serves the same FUNCTION. Like, a hanging toiletry bag that’s gonna keep my stuff organized and NOT cost me half a paycheck. You feel me?
I mean, CALPAK’s bags ARE nice. Free shipping over $75, supposedly? That’s cool and all. But like, do I REALLY need *another* excuse to buy $75 worth of luggage tags and packing cubes? Probably not. My closet is already screaming.
So, the hunt begins! I’ve been scouring Amazon, Etsy, even Target’s random online sections (you know, the ones where you stumble upon the weirdest, but sometimes *best*, finds).
I’m looking for something with a good hanging hook, duh. Gotta be able to hang it on a bathroom door, a shower rod, maybe even a tree branch if I’m feeling extra adventurous (glamping, anyone?). And it needs compartments! Lots of ’em. Zippers? Check. Mesh pockets? Double check. Waterproof lining? YES, PLEASE. I don’t want my toothbrush swimming in a sea of spilled toner.
Honestly, the whole “dupe” thing is kinda silly, right? Maybe I should just bite the bullet and get the CALPAK one. But then again, I could probably find something almost as good for half the price. And then I could use that extra money for… maybe a really fancy face mask? Or a giant bag of gummy bears? Decisions, decisions…
