LARQ Water Bottle

Remaining hydrated on the go can be a challenge, so a water bottle should be one of the first things you pack in your day bag.

Electric Toothbrush Charging Travel Case

Depending on where you are going, travelling can be a lengthy process so its advisable to pack smart.

Convenient, lightweight and compact, slide a USB charging toothbrush travel case into your bag and continually feel fresh.
