Sunny Sausage Dog Kids' Oilcloth Wash Bag

This kids' wash bag is covered in sausage dogs enjoying a sunny day, printed all over a bright white oilcloth outer. Some of the dachshunds trot along in striped jumpers of red, pink and blue, while others are curled up fast asleep under rainbow blankets, with little food bowls, bones, yellow suns and sprigs of green scattered in between. A red zip runs along the top, finished with a metal pull. It measures 21cm long, 18cm high and 7.5cm wide, that width running from front to back so the bag sits upright on its base.

It is a cheerful place to keep a child's toiletries together, from toothpaste and a hairbrush to hair bobbles and a little tub of cream, so nothing rolls loose in the bottom of a suitcase or rucksack. At home it can sit on a bathroom shelf or windowsill, and on a trip away it keeps the morning routine in one familiar spot. Children who love dogs will find a different little scene every time they look, from a pup in a stripy jumper to one snoozing under its blanket. It is a sweet choice for a young one who is starting to pack their own bag.

The outer is oilcloth with a smooth, glossy surface, and inside it is lined with polyester. The zip is made from oilcloth and metal. It is light, at 0.063KG, so it adds next to nothing to a packed bag. It should not be washed, bleached, tumble dried, ironed or dry cleaned; as general good practice for oilcloth, wipe the outside over with a damp cloth and leave it open to air dry. For a thoughtful present, we like to pop a fresh tube of toothpaste and a favourite bar of soap inside before wrapping it up, so it is ready for the first night away.
