About waist bags
Waist bags sit on the hip or across the chest and keep a phone, cash and cards secure and hands-free. They are popular for travel, festivals, running and as event merchandise, and sell well in fashion retail.
Waist bags are compact, so they pack densely — freight per piece is low. Event orders often need several colours.
About toiletry bags
Toiletry bags keep shaving kits, toiletries and grooming items organised in luggage. Waterproof linings contain spills, and hanging versions open on a hook in hotel bathrooms. They are popular travel gifts and amenity kits.
Toiletry bags are often bundled with travel bags or duffles in corporate gift sets.
