Many of you are going full gear into making travel plans for the second half of the year. So it makes perfect sense to revisit the favourite vanity cases in designer monograms, no less.

Some are new while others are definite classics. But all come in a similar squarish profile with an elongated zip running in front. With a water-resistant lining and easy-to-use shape, they will keep your makeup and toiletries safely organised when travelling.

Besides, once you’re done using it for your travels, you can always get creative. How about converting it into a hand-held clutch for daily use? After all, the spacious interior guarantees to fit all your essentials. Some creative individuals even tie a scarf around the handles before attaching an extra shoulder strap. Voila! A new crossbody bag!

Keen to get one? Or two? Or perhaps all four to make a collection? Here goes.

Celine’s Square Vanity Case might be one of the newer pieces in this line-up. However, you can’t deny that the Triomphe Canvas certainly makes for a classic style that transcends seasons and trends. The 18 cm by 15 cm vanity case also comes with an extra mirror. You’ll find it within the inner elastic pocket whenever you need to do your touch-ups on the go. CELINE

03 – Gucci Ophidia Cosmetic Case, SGD1250
The versatile Gucci Ophidia range comprises everything from SLGs to handbags. Now even cosmetic cases come in the iconic beige/ebony GG Supreme canvas. Yes, complete with the signature green-and-red webbing running down the middle. This compact case measures 18 cm wide and 13 cm high. Gucci has added a wide mirror underneath the top flap, serving as a detail that’s both fun and functional. GUCCI

04 – Louis Vuitton Nice BB Toiletry Pouch, SGD1770
One of the early pioneers of the vanity case, Louis Vuitton’s Nice has since gained immense fame and popularity. Undoubtedly for its stylish good looks and incredible ease of use. Over the years, the French fashion house has introduced smaller versions to suit varied needs.

The Nice BB size measures 24 cm by 8 cm, which tucks it between the original Nice and Nice Nano. The washable coated canvas lining is also a plus. You just have to give it a simple wipe (or wash, if need be) should anything liquid spill. LOUIS VUITTON
