What customers say
Customers consistently praise the Big Mouth Leather Toiletry Bag for its exceptional durability and thoughtful design. The thick full grain leather and sturdy construction give users confidence that this piece will last a lifetime.

Know before you buy
The Gladstone closure features a hinged frame that allows the bag to stay locked in a wide-open position when in use. This keeps the mouth of the bag open so you can easily see and reach your items without having to hold it open with one hand.
The interior is lined with pigskin, which is naturally durable and easier to wipe down than raw leather. Because the lining is light-colored, it also makes it much easier to spot spills or locate small items that might otherwise get lost in the bottom of the bag.
With dimensions of 10.25" W x 5.25" H x 5" D, the bag is sized to accommodate standard grooming essentials like shaving cream, razors, and travel-sized toiletries. While it is spacious, you may need to use travel-sized containers for larger bottles to ensure the bag closes properly.
The bag weighs 1.60 lbs. This is due to the use of thick, full-grain leather and heavy-duty stainless steel hardware, which are chosen for long-term durability rather than lightweight portability.
Because it is made from high-quality full-grain leather, it will develop a unique patina over time. You can occasionally apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple, but it is designed to be low-maintenance and rugged enough to handle the wear and tear of travel.
