EMME Original - Cosmetic and Toiletry Bag

I purchased the bag after reading reviews on 'Une Femme d'une certain age'. I used it recently for a trip to Bali and it worked well. We travel quite regularly to Europe which for us means two long distance flights back to back and a fair amount of different accommodations. I expect that to be a real test. At this stage, I am still to make up my mind whether I 'love' the bag or 'like' the bag. :-)

I take my EMME to the gym! It fits perfectly in my gym bag and helps me make sure I have everything I need in a crowded locker room!

Love the weight of this bag; the visible compartments; the zip able divided compartments and the overall design. I also love the company’s customer service ❤️

This bag was such a lifesaver on my recent vacation. No more toiletries all over the vanity counter -- just hang it on the door and ready to go. When packing up to come home, just fold it back up and done!

Love this travel kit! Worked so well in the small European bathrooms on our trip. This bag kept everything nearby and organized. The zip off liquids bag is sheer genius.

I absolutely love my Emme toiletry bag and highly recommend it! It is large enough to hold everything I need for traveling without being too large or bulky. The quality is exceptional, and the photos don’t begin to do it justice. I opted for a floral design, which I love because it doesn’t get lost in my luggage. It’s actually very classy, and hangs anywhere. I love the removable compartments, too. When I returned from our most recent trip, I decided to order this bag for one of our traveling companions. It was a hit! Did I mention the wonderful customer service? You absolutely can’t go wrong with this quality purchase. Mary

Loved it. It held everything I needed for a 5 week vacation. It was easy to pack in my suitcase and hung easily in all the hotel rooms. The small jars were perfect.

I'm a makeup junkie! and all of my multiple cosmetics and lotions, brushes and devices fit comfortably on this case. It's very easy to find everything and so easy to use!

Second EMME bag. Couldn't resist the new pattern! Gave my "old" black EMME to my husband who loves it! Both EMME bags just returned from Botswana! Great product.

Very sleek and well designed travel cosmetic bag. Although its fairly large, it folds neatly and flat. The detachable bags are very handy for check on luggage, or to use on short trips. A great product that I would highly recommend.

I like the Emme bag system but the flip top containers provided have popped open, spilling contents in the bag both times I have flown with it so far. It's both a mess when you're away and a loss of product when I'm bringing just enough. I'll be replacing them.

I am soooo happy with my Emme bag. Have used it on several trips of varied lengths and it has worked perfectly.. I love that everything is so organized and I can see everything which I found to be a problem with previous bags. Highly recommend. Also the customer service was excellent. Thank you Emme.

I just received my travel bag, omg, I LOVE IT! It’s way better in person than online! The quality is beyond any other toiletry bag I have purchased! I can’t see using any other bag going forward.

The Emme toiletries bag is perfect for my travels. I keep it packed and ready for the next adventure. It's large enough to handle all my products, while most travel bags fall short. It contains leaks, folds nicely in a carry-on, and hangs on bathroom door for easy access. No need to unpack because items are visible. I highly recommend this toiletries bag. Good job Emme!

Genius Design with Max Capacity! I have a lot of different travel bags and I travel a lot. I had one bigger bag for toiletries and a smaller bag for make up. I resisted a bag like EMME because it meant condensing the toiletries I had to JUST the essentials. BUT…I’ve been blown away with how much the EMME bag holds. And it takes up less room in my bag/suitcase than my other two bags. Plus I’m a freak about keeping things organized so EMME to the rescue! LOVE this and will be using it regularly.

LAK I absolutely love this travel bag for my toiletries. It is sturdily made, attractive and convenient. I liked it so much that I bought one for my daughter for her birthday. About to take another big trip and this bag held everything I needed.

Emme Perfect for me Thought fully sized compartments, great for travel.

Love my Emme Received my Emme just in time for a week long trip. It was perfect. Everything fit perfectly. Loved the bottle labels and especially that more than one of each included. But best part is that when opened, the bag can be hung on towel rack, door knob or whatever and is conveniently there when needed.

The Original EMME Bag This is the best cosmetics travel bag ever- and I have tried many over the years. This bag keeps travel toiletries neat, organized, and easy to see and access. The bag is sleek, so is easier to pack in suitcase and does not take up as much space as other cosmetics bags. Susan from 'une femme d'un certain age' highly recommends this bag on her great blog- I hesitated at first because of price, but glad I purchased!

Love this bag I've been using this bag for over a year and am constantly finding more reasons to be happy with it; I only need to refill a couple of items between trips so don't have to think nearly as much about packing. Just gave it as a gift and will likely do so again.

Great gift! I gave this bag as a gift to my cousin and she loves it! It was the large bag.

Yes! I have wanted one of these type of storage bags for years. The inclusion of the containers was the tipping point. Great deal! This came so quickly, best customer service. Thank you

Fabulous travel bag! This bag fits all the toiletries I need for a trip--plus some. It also provides smart organization and ease in handling/packing. I also love that it has removable clear bags for adventures requiring trips through the TSA line.

Simply the best...hands down I have traveled for 50 years near and far and traveled often. There is nothing to compare with the EMME bag. I don't know how she did it, but the creator managed to design a bag that, even when zipped, takes up very little room. I carry everything, and I mean everything, in this bag. Disposable Face clothes, eye make up remover, night and day skin care (multiple steps!), full make up, medications, floss, toothpaste and even my electric toothbrush, deodorant, contact lens equipment, styling comb, hair prep and spray. Zip zip. And then it all hangs up anywhere and nothing drops out when I open each of the compartments. I have traveled a month with my EMME and I love "her." Buy it. Use it. It will make life on the road a breeze.

Leaving on a jet plane, and I'm dead carne if I don't bring the Emme bag I bought one for my wife and sent her a picture by text. She is in Thailand (she spends the summer in Thailand running her resort) and she informed me that the Emme bag HAS to be in my suitcase when I fly over this week to pick her up. She loves it, even though all she has seen is a picture.

Love it

Have not yet used looks promising but have not yet used

so many small bottles, can't carry enough of any liquid product for longer than 1 week trip very disappointed, tried to give it to several people, they feel not worth the money or trouble to try to use. I wish I had returned it the first day, all the small jars are useless as well. pockets don't hold much either

Set for travel in 2016 !! A girlfriend showed me her Emme bag (Catherine T) and I was so impressed with the design that I decided I needed one of my own . It looks like it will be an invaluable asset for my travels in 2016!!! Thankyou to the Emme team - Katrina

As Close To Perfect As I've Found I've waited to write this review until I'd made several trips using the EMME bag. It is as close to perfect as I've found. I do find that for trips of longer than 10 days I end up using a separate bag for my makeup. This is in due mostly to needing room for daily wear contacts and the type of face wash dry cloths I use in the EMME bag on longer duration trips. Overall I'm very happy with it.

Outstanding travel accessory This bag is great for travel. I've always envied my husband's efficient dop kit. Now I have my own. I was able to eliminate 2 small bags, and the hook makes it easier to work with in hotel bathrooms. A great investment.

My new go-to bag for travel I purchased my Emme bag just prior to spending a month travelling in England and Italy. It made my travels so much easier. The zip out section for cabin luggage simplifies the airport experience, the clear and different sized pockets make organising so easy. My Emme bag contained so many items, yet it was always easy to find each item when needed, and was easy to zip up when it was time to move on. I won’t be travelling without my Emme any time soon!

1st trip with my EMME bag As I've aged my grooming regimens have become more complex. I now have specialized products and implements in 5 areas: teeth, skin, hair, contact lenses and make-up. I took 37 items with me on my trip. Some were as small as a little plastic paddle I use to dip into creams and some were as large as my toothbrush in a full size plastic holder. I used some of the little containers included with my bag, but I also toted some things that come in regular 3oz sizes. It all fit and I did not even open the expander zipper. When I hung my bag it hung straight down. My previous bag hung, but curled over. I was able to change some of my items from the horizontal packed position to a vertical position when hanging. This made reaching for makeup brushes and pencils and taller containers much easier. ( I kept the zippers open). I was glad to have the little stickers to put on the small containers. Previously I had used a sharpie on my containers, but it rubbed off and I would get confused as to what was what. The EMME bag is exceptional and I am exceedingly glad I have it!

Terrific Consolidates all those separate bags. Well constructed. Bravo! One suggestion include the "leakproof" brand bottles from container store. Absolutely foolproof in pressure changes in checked luggage.

Emme bag this is a travel bag. As I have not had an opportunity to travel with the bag as yet, I can not write a real review.

A disappointment I purchased this bag after a blog review. The bag is expensive for the quality. If you can't hang the bag the you're constantly battling things falling out of pouches. None of my hair stuff fit anywhere. By the tine you get what you can in the bag it is not compact or easy to pack. It will not handle items for a 2 week trip.

I bought one EMME bag for Europe. I loved it so much I bought another one for my friend who is traveling with me! One of the best gifts ever!

Emme down under I cannot speak highly enough of Emily's customer service ... very rare to get personalised and unprompted (not form!) letters these days. Emily went out of her way to follow up on delivery of a bag to Australia, even though I wasn't phased at the 5 day wait (frequently have to wait two weeks for orders to reach us from the States). There is no doubt, that like other reviewers, I am wholly impressed with the Emme bag. I was attracted to its functionality and in particular, the zip-off bag for liquids. I am an extremely light traveller, travelling regularly not even with cabin baggage, but with a satchel and a small cross body purse. I've always found it difficult to have to have two bags for toiletries ... one that fits solids and another that fits liquids. I had hoped the Emme bag would solve that dilemma for me. And while it does perform this function, it is just too big for my needs. Even though it's 'squishable' as others have said, it's overall footprint is just too large for me. I was delighted to discover the elasticised holders for hairbrushes, toothbrushes and other sundries, and also the fact that it is expandable! These are things I hadn't picked up from other reviews. However, I will be looking to pass my bag onto a friend or family member and I'm sure it will make a welcome and quality gift for those who travel with moderate luggage requirements. I note that Emily is planning on developing a smaller version of the Emme and I will definitely be revisiting for that. Sharon Australia

Amazing Travel Bag This bag holds it all! I used to take 2-3 bags to accommodate makeup, hair products, toothpaste, etc. I used the EMME for the first time for a month long trip—it is hands down the best toiletry bag I have ever owned!

First Time Use I recently used my bag for the first time for a weeklong trip by air and I love the way everything fit. I did have one problem with nail polish remover. I put it in one of the bottles with the press down dispenser top and the bottle leaked. . . but not from the top and not on the airplane. I put it on a kleenex to test it and apparently, it was leaking from the bottom. It also left long white streaks on the bottle which must be a chemical reaction between the remover and the plastic bottle. Otherwise, it’s a great bag.

First time use

looks good haven't been able to put it to the test yet. It looks all inclusive: liquids, cosmetics, etc all in one place--I like that idea.

Best travel/anytime bag for cosmetics and toiletries I bought this bag thinking I would just use it for travel because it fits all of my things so conveniently in it and lays flat in my suitcase but I never unpacked it! It just goes from my suitcase to the back of the bathroom door. Everything is so easy to access. This is honestly the most well designed toiletry/ cosmetic bag that I have ever seen. I love it! I would highly recommend this over any other brand and I have used them all! It looks sleek, it is easy to clean and comes with a ton of little bottles for your liquids that are regulation size for travel. Thumbs up! Thanks Emme!

Great Bag This is a great bag. I love it. It is so convenient to use. Everything is visible. I plan to buy a mirror to hang off from it. I am nearsighted and I can not get close enough to the mirror in most hotel rooms to put on my eye makeup. This will be an added bonus.

Love it! I bought the bag for my trip to Italy based on a recommendation in a blog I read. It was all I expected and more! The shipping was quick and I lived the bag. Highly recommend!

Looks great I haven't used it yet but I can see there is a place for everything. I can stay organized and I love that you can hang and not have containers balancing on the edge of something and wet from the sink.

looking forward to version 2.0 so many things about this bag are great - hanging hook, expanding gussets and sip-off clear TSA-friendly pouch.....but it's huge! Would really like a similar version in a much smaller size for those of us light toiletries users

Very convenient I am a road warriorette with a 50% travel schedule. I have my packing down to a science, but when I saw this bag on the Une Femme blog I thought it might help me be more organized. When I opened the box and saw the Emme bag, my first thought was that it was larger than I expected. I worried that it would take up too much room in my smallish roller bag. I don't check my bag, I do 100% carry on, so space is key for me. But it seems to be OK. I use a Tumi Tegra Lite Continental carry on roller bag, which is one of the smaller hard sided cases. This bag takes up 1/3 of one side of the suitcase. That is kind of a lot, but it lays pretty flat and I can pack soft items on top of it. The organization compartments are superb. They are well sized for the items I carry with room to spare. A great feature is the zip-out clear bag for liquids. It is clearly larger than the 1qt ziplock bag you're supposed to be allowed for carry-on liquids but I've had no troubles so far. Once in the hotel room, the hanging feature of this bag is quite handy for preserving counter space in the bathroom. The fabrics and zippers comprising this bag appear to be of high quality and sturdy. I expect this to last me quite a while. Overall, I recommend the bag but recommend Emme consider also making a smaller bag for those of us who might not carry quite as much.

Love the Emme travel bag! I always scoffed at using these travel bags - all the separate compartments- but finally decided to give one a try and based on a review purchased this one. I've traveled twice in the past 2 weeks...and I love it!! Holds everything I need and more...even those few things I usually don't bother to take with me but now I do because this bag makes it so easy!!

Happy, Happy, Happy So very pleased with the Emme travel bag. Normally, I would travel with a lot of zip lock bags to hold all different products...now Emme is all I need.

EMME Bag My husband and I have tried several different travel bags, all with something we don't like. When I saw this online, I thought it was worth a shot. Love it. Everything has a place, well organized, and easy to find what you actually packed! A great bag and now my husband wants one as well.

Pretty good, unpacked I am going to Europe for 6-7 weeks. Curious about the bottles/jars. Really leak proof? I've had trouble with ones from drugstores/walmart. Have bulkier ones from on line. I'm hoping this will serve me well, but as I like to limit packing, I really won't be able to review until after my travels. Hoping it will work well!

Love it! i have not had the opportunity to carry it yet. Next week will be my first trip out of town. But I can already tell it is the perfect bag! I love the size, the quality, and all of the organization it has!!

Claire Egan I haven't used it yet on a trip but all the compartments are good. I like the zip out for TSA , the hook & material. It's bigger than I thought. When shown to friends they liked size & all, wanted options for color.

Life-Changing Purchase After reading about the EMME Bag on several travel blogs, I decided to order one for Christmas. The bag is a huge success and is absolutely amazing. The design of the bag is incredible -- it fits tons of products and you can easily see all of the stored items. Plus, even when you fill every nook, the bag closes with ease and occupies less space in your luggage. Due to the ease of use and abundant storage, I am now using it daily at the gym. I plan on ordering another one in the near future!!! Bottom line -- you will not regret this purchase!!!

Practical Baag Although I haven't yet traveled with my Emme bag, I'm very pleased with it. It is compact but appears to hold all of my cosmetics and toiletries and hair care articles. the bag is very sturdy and well designed and I'm just sorry I didn't find it sooner.

the BEST!!! I travel on business 2-3 weeks a month and after searching for the optimal solution for my toiletries...I found Emme! Perfect size, durable, practical, with so many options and solutions for organizing! Love this!!

Finally! I purchased the Emme bag due to the recommendation from Luxury Travel Mom. And I absolutely love it! It is made with high quality materials and is unisex. I have all my travel essentials packed so we are ready to go in a moments notice but it is designed that if my husband travels alone or separately, the Emme bag has different compartments that can be unzipped for him and his travel items. Thank you so for finally making a bag that is so universal and for your amazing customer service!

Great Bag and top quality material!! This bag is perfect!! Not only for travel, but to keep in the bathroom, hanging up with all my stuff organized!! Thank You!

Great concept, quality not what I expected I was very excited to receive this product, and at first glance it looked good. But on closer inspection, the quality was off. One of the zippers was not properly attached, so a piece protruded dangerously. I was able to fix it, but the overall material felt flimsy and the various sections were inconsistent. I felt it was very expensive, based on the low quality. I currently use a similar product from the Container Store, and it is much better quality, though it is larger than I need. I love supporting small businesses, so I wanted to give this a try, and I will use it to see if I like the size better. I encourage you to move to version 2.

EMME! Where have you been all my traveling life? I received my new EMME bag just in time to start a new position, which has me traveling about 50% of the time. I quickly organized it to hold everything I utilize on a daily basis in preparation for my first trip. WOW! This bag holds everything I need and then some. When I arrived at my hotel it was so easy to unpack (unlike previous trips) - I simply unzipped the bag and hung it right next to the sink. I absolutely love it - I just wish I had it years ago when I traveled 100% of the time opening hotels!!! I'm horrified to admit that as of late I had turned to huge ziplock bags to carry everything I needed. Not anymore! Now I travel in style with my EMME bag. This will definitely be on the Christmas list for many of my friends and family. Way to go EMME - what's up next?? :)

Love the EMME! I love this EMME bag and is exactly what I had been looking for. I love the see- through pockets and all the clear bottles and small jars are perfect for a few days of travel. Now I don't have to take an extra cosmetic bag just to fit all my personal items. And it fits perfectly in my suitcase. Thanks EMME!

Absolutely love this bag! Seriously, I did a lot of research to find the best cosmetic bag for frequent travel. I am so happy with this purchase and recommend particularly for any other road warriors out there!

Perfect! I recently began traveling every other week and was tired of multiple bags with everything buried at the bottom. This bag has multiple compartments of varying size and everything seems to fit perfectly. I love that there is a removable see-through bag for the security line AND that it is removable by zipper. So much more durable than the alternative. Thank you, Emily for turning your need into our gain! :)

Love this bag! After using traditional "Dopp kit" type toiletry bags for years it is so nice having a bag that allows me to organize my things. Rather than just dumping everything into a bottomless pit, I get many perfect sized, see-through compartments. Plus the ability to detach and remove the liquid compartment during airport security checks - awesome!

Love this bag! Just took a three week trip and took my bag along. Everything fit perfectly and the bottles and jars are just the right size for the shampoo, gels, etc. I no longer have to take three cosmetic bags when I travel because everything fits in the EMME bag!

Best Bag For Singles & Mom's alike I use this bag for ALL of my travels. From business trip to personal, my EMME bag goes with me everywhere. It holds everything! I pack my make-up, vitamins, shower gel, toothpaste, perfume and jewelry within the bag. Now i have no issues when I go to the airport. Everything is in one place. And when I am watching my newborn nephew, I can even place baby wipes, pacifiers and teething toys within a compartment without worrying about my makeup. AWESOME! Highly recommended for single ladies and moms alike.

EMME Bag I love my EMME bag! I keep it packed in my carry on bag so it is ready to go at a moments notice! The zip out bag is perfect for TSA--I keep my liquid items in it and just zip it out and zip it back in. The bag is wonderful to hang up in the hotel room and leaves the bathroom counter clean and usable!

One of the most important travel pieces to have! I travel at 1x/month, whether it's for weekend trips, work trips, or long vacations. So having a travel system is really important to me. The EMME bag is perfect for that system, so that each time I travel I'm not having to figure out my packing "plan" again and again. Here's what I like about the EMME bag: -the clear plastic pockets are the right size for travel items and the see-through pockets make it extremely easy to find what I need -I really like that there are multiple sizes of pockets and not just 2 pockets with 1 large area. Other travel bags never have enough pockets and so all my items get mixed up and shifted around, making things feel like a mess. This is really important to me when I'm travelling - when I'm out of my regular element, it makes a big difference to have an organized toiletry system where ever I'm travelling. -I also like that everything is contained in the bag so that when you unzip it, things don't just fall out all over the place. -The shape of the bag fits perfectly into my luggage and is easy to also carry onto the plane -I LOVE the space extension, if I end up with more toiletries and need a little more room I can just unzip the side of the bag and voila! There's more room! That's another problem with other travel bags- they look cool until you try to fit all your toiletries into them. -I like the sleek black look of the bag. It's classy and sophisticated!

Great Bag for travel medical supplies I have three small children, and they always get sick when we travel. So instead of buying as we need (ending up with multiples), I have a pretty stocked bag. But before it was essentially a giant plastic baggie. With the EMME, now everything has a place. The digital thermometer is separated from the sticky meds. The tablets and pills are in their own pocket in case they spill. And the detachable section is perfect for bandaids, creams and balms on the go. The only thing that would make it perfect is if there were a longer strap attachment for cross body wear.

I use mine for camping I actually have 2 EMME bags. I use for one for when I travel. My wife and I go on extended cruises and it works so great for being able to take all the items I need in one bag, and have it fit so snugly in my suitcase. I use my other one when I go camping. I like to camp by myself, and all the compartments in my EMME bag work so well for keeping medical supplies and other useful camping items like matches, energy bars, you name it. I use the nylon zip out for my device chargers. I take the clear zip out with me when I venture away from the campsite with medical supplies, my phone and any snacks I need. The versatility of this bag is fantastic!

wow! This little bag held everything I needed for a recent 2-week trip! Because I have never found a bag that holds everything, I had given up and gotten in a bad habit of throwing my normal big bottles of everything in zippy bags. Not only was it heavy, it was unnecessary. This bag forced me to take what I needed in sample-size bottles and because it is so roomy, everything fit and I didn't have to revert to zippy bags. I like that a couple pouches zip out. I also like the one that folds behind when hanging so I don't have to look at my extra stuff. It hung in the bathrooms without being obtrusive or bulky on the hardware. It wore well over the 2-week period. It's the perfect size for an overnight biz trip or for a lengthy vacation. Money well-spent. Thank you!
