Description
This quilted makeup bag carries the Anushka pattern on soft pink cotton, in a neat, boxy shape that sits tidily on a dressing table. Open flowers, teardrop petals and little sprigs of leaves trail along curling vines, all outlined in red and filled with white, while larger rosettes repeat across the front, back and ends. Lines of quilting run from top to bottom, giving the cotton a gently padded feel in the hand. It measures 16cm long, 10cm high and 8cm wide, and at 49g it adds almost nothing to the weight of a handbag or case.
We think it earns its place at home and away. Kept on a shelf at home, it gathers the lipsticks, brushes and compacts that tend to wander, and the pink pattern looks pretty left out in a bedroom or bathroom. For travel, its compact size slips easily into a handbag, gym bag or suitcase, and it doubles as a small wash bag for a toothbrush, moisturiser and the other bits you need overnight. Three pockets inside keep smaller pieces, such as hair grips, lip balm or a pair of earrings, apart from everything else, so nothing gets lost at the bottom.
The zip is made from cotton and metal and runs along the top, finished with a bright red tassel that gives you something easy to grip and pull. Inside, a water-resistant EVA plastic lining sits behind the cotton, which helps when a cream or a damp brush goes in. The bag is not made for washing, so wipe it clean with a neutral detergent rather than putting it in the machine, and avoid bleach, an iron, the tumble dryer and dry cleaning. Tucked into a weekend bag or given with a favourite hand cream inside, it makes a cheerful, useful present.
