Milo and Mimi The Cosmetic Bag in Rose Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

If you like travel, whether by car, train, plane or boat, you probably have, or need, a good travel bag for your makeup and/or toiletries. I was recently introduced to the vegan brand, Milo and Mimi, and I am really inspired by their cosmetic bag!

Milo and Mimi The Cosmetic Bag in Rose is as practical as it is beautiful! This vegan leather bag, which is available in black or rose, has two large compartments, each with a separate open pouch and united by a single zip compartment. What is so ingenious about this design is the diagonal placement of the exterior zipper. This seemingly novel design choice has a very practical utilitarian function in that it allows you to open the bag very wide while it sits flat. This enables you to see the contents of your bag with ease, and without the frustration of having to dig around to locate everything that you are looking for. It is made of soft and supple vegan leather, and it has a handle on top for added convenience.

According to Milo and Mimi,

A home away from home for your essentials, The Cosmetic Bag is a compact and stylish way to keep your cosmetics secure while on the go.

Packing is the first chapter of your travel story, and Milo and Mimi ensures it begins seamlessly. Designed for both style and function, The Cosmetic Bag keeps your essentials secure, making it the perfect travel companion—especially with Spring Break on the horizon. Milo and Mimi is a brand dedicated to crafting durable, fashion-forward travel accessories while giving back to the community. In a recent philanthropic effort, they donated 80 bags to families affected by the L.A. fires in collaboration with Maman Nonprofit, which is filling them with essentials.

Features:

• Multi Use Cosmetic Bag 
• Two compartments with space for your valuables
• Center zipper compartment
• Two pockets on each side 
• Gold zipper detailing

Size & Details:

• 8"x4"x4"
• Exterior 100% Vegan Leather
• Interior 100% Cotton Lining

The zipper is diagonal along the sides, and therefore the cosmetic bag fully opens and stays flat. This makes it a very practical bag since you can easily see everything inside. This is so ingenious since you don't have to dig through a cavernous bag trying to find what you are looking for.

Available in Black and Rose

Overall Assessment: I already have mine filled up and ready to go! I had to triple check the price, but it really is only $15.00!
