If a Transformers<\/span> toy existed for grown women, it would be Parallelle’s Traveller series of toiletry bags<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ribbed on the outside like Optimus Prime’s boots<\/a>, the Traveller looks like a typical (albeit stylish) makeup bag on the outside, but peer inside and you\u2019ll see a warren of different-sized pockets and loops and adjustable dividers. Unzip the bag all the way around, fold the sides down, and voila\u2014there are all your travel toiletries, standing upright and fully in order, in a makeup organizer just like you’d have at home. When you’re done, flip the sides up, pull the zippers back to the top, and it’s back to being a travel bag, sturdy and secure enough to toss in a suitcase sideways or even upside down.<\/p>\n

Keep It Contained<\/h2>\n

The Traveller is the brainchild of Annie Fan, a career designer of private-label bags for other brands. She liked to take a SoulCycle spin class before work, but found herself either forgetting her makeup and toiletries, being unable to find them in her bag, or having to lay out all her items on the communal counter. In 2022, she set out to design her own bag: the ultimate travel cosmetics bag.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I started designing the Traveller, structure was key,\u201d Fan says. \u201cIt needed to function like a portable vanity\u2014keeping everything visible, secure, and exactly where you need it, without the need to unpack.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As for the design procedure, it was a matter of constant fine-tuning. She ultimately went through 60 prototypes to ensure she got the design precisely the way she wanted it. “Every detail had to be carefully considered, from the flexibility of the layout to how everything stays organized and accessible,\u201d Fan says.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Today, there are now four sizes of Traveller, all with the same sturdy, vegan leather and water-resistant cotton exterior. There’s the Small, with nine pockets, two divided compartments, two mesh pouches, and five loops for brushes or other items; Medium, with 16 pockets, three divided compartments, and four mesh pouches; and Large, with 20 pockets, three divided compartments, and six new pouches. There’s also a new \u201cBrush\u201d version<\/a>, which stands 9.6 inches tall and has 13 wall pockets for brushes and other toiletries, a zippered pouch, and a spacious \u201cfloor\u201d for full-size products.<\/p>\n
