Orla Kiely Sycamore Seed Wash Bag Collection

The sight of these just makes us want to book a Secret Escape somewhere simply for the joy of stashing our travel cosmetics inside… (Of course that's not the only reason for wanting a mini-break, but it’d be a lovely part of the travel prep, no?)

Orla Kiely’s distinctive designs are incredibly widely-loved – and she’s created an absolute stunner of a wash-bag range for this season. Sturdy, with great zips and beautifully-finished, they’re globetrotter-friendly.

There are more muted options but we love this candy pop of ‘Beauty Bible pink’ and navy, in a new Sycamore print adapted from Orla’s very popular Acorn design, a bestseller in bedlinen, watches, home fragrance and kitchenware.

There’s a handbag-friendly Cosmetic Bag, a Large Hanging Washbag (the built-in hanger means you can put it on the hook of a bathroom door and see your entire stash through the transparent inner), and – our favoruite – a wonderful, capacious Medium Wash Bag.

To paraphrase wildly, these make us think that ‘to travel beautifully is a better thing than to arrive…’ Well, almost.
