Fresh and versatile in design, light and robust in material: the strong, tightly woven cotton canvas from which this organizer is made can withstand even a light rain shower and dry quickly. This makes the bag not only a practical organizer and transport aid in the bathroom or as a toiletry bag for your travel cosmetics, but also makes a great lunch bag for the office, a stylish little handbag for a spontaneous Sunday stroll or a functional accessory for an evening out at the club. The sturdy carrying straps allow you to grab it, carry it in the crook of your elbow or even swing it around as you would on a nice day out. If you prefer to use the organizer for your cosmetics, the compact format allows you to store a standard shampoo bottle and cream tube upright. The wide base ensures that the organizer is stable and, together with the wide zipper, provides a good overview of the inside. There are also three small compartments for additional organization and to keep the smallest of small utensils within easy reach.

“Mela” is a Hindi word meaning “acting together,” and this philosophy is at the heart of everything the Kassel-based label Melawear does. Producing clothing, bags, and sneakers in India, Melawear personally selects its partners on-site and regularly undergoes inspections by Fair Trade and GOTS certification bodies. The certifications cover the entire process—from the cultivation of organic cotton through dyeing and fabric production to garment manufacturing. In addition, the products are certified with the “Grüner Knopf” seal, a government textile certification that recognizes companies that already meet particularly stringent social and environmental standards and aim to further raise this high bar. Last but not least, Melawear aims to offer a timeless alternative to the fast-paced nature of the fashion industry through its products.
