A beauty writer has revealed that a personalised embroidered pouch, gifted over two years ago, remains her go-to travel companion. The Elizabeth Scarlett Wildflower Everyday Pouch (£34) has accompanied her on holidays to Italy and Spain, as well as countless weekend trips.
The bag, which features scattered posies of yellow, pink and red wildflowers, was personalised with her initials by a friend. Despite heavy use, it shows little sign of wear, with only minor makeup residue inside that can be easily cleaned.
The writer notes that the pouch comfortably fits skincare, makeup, brushes and even a perfume or two without feeling bulky. It is double-sided, allowing the embroidery to be enjoyed from any angle. Matching accessories, including a sleep mask (£28) and coin purse (£18), are also available.
While acknowledging the £34 price tag as 'pretty pricey', she states it still looks as good as new, making it a thoughtful gift for Valentine's Day or Mother's Day. She also mentions a velvet pouch from Evidens de Beauté and a personalised jewellery box from Oliver Bonas as other travel essentials.
