The Happy Traveler

A reliable cosmetics
bag—one that won’t leak, break or crumble—is as important for stress-free travel
as getting to the airport on time. When you’ve stuffed toothpaste tubes,
hairspray cans and baby wipes into
the most compact part of your luggage, durability is a must. That’s where New
York-based designer and entrepreneur Jimeale
Jorgensen comes to the rescue. —

With her
fashionable-meets-functional designs, Jimeale has cornered the travel market like
a pro. Using innovative storage elements and details (think: double-lined
pockets and water resistant materials), her 705 Cosmetics
Bag will keep all your gels, creams and sprays clean and organized. Not to
mention adorable in playful patterns like polka dots and stripes.

So if you’re like
me and you overstuff your luggage (baggage check, please!), you’ll appreciate
the sturdiness of Jimeale’s line: women’s cosmetic bags, weekend totes, diaper
bags, umbrellas, travel wallets, shoe bags, men’s dopp kits and more.
