Product Review: Compression Bag

The bulkiest item of clothing we have stored in our closets are the winter/spring jackets. Poufy. Squishy. Heavy.

There are vacuum bags available but when traveling you hafta lug around the pump and make sure your bags don't get any of 'em holes hehehe. So when I found the Kishu bags in IG I immediately stalked the account and read through the customer's reviews posted there.

All it took was a PM through IG and I was able to order, pay and send my details for delivery. It was delivered immediately with the parcel arriving same day. Amazing!

So I tries it first with my kiddo's winter jacket that my aunt and uncle got her from S Korea. I tell you, it's bulkier and heavier than the winter jacket I used at Romania one late November.

You just have to place the item inside the bag. Close the zipper and it would look like any ordinary packing cube. The magic happens when you closed the secondary zipper running around the entirety of the cube which squishes your garments down, making it flatter overall.

My kiddo's jacket ended up a tad thicker than a regular folded bath towel. Not baaaaaad. My jacket still had space. I could squeeze in a few cardigans or shawls there still.

Overall, not a bad investment piece for those looking to compress your clothings items for storage or for travel.

Product Review: Leather Passport Holder

If you've read my past posts you'd know I favor leather goods and accessories. So when I saw this passport holder from Booths Republic on Facebook I've decided to order one. Mind you, it's a hard choice since I prefer oily pulled leather than brightly colored types but given tgen have an option for a red one, which I like, I decided to try it.

They have 2 types of passport holders, one for 4 pax and can hold up to 8 passports and one foe 2pax which can hold 4 passports. I was iffy with how the passports were arranged on the bigger 4pax one that when it came out a couple of mobths back I really wasn't interested. I felt there's a chance when closing it that the top part would get messed up folded. Anyway, good for me cos the smaller version came out recently.

The holders come in 3 colors - black, blue and red. Names can be embossed inside for free. Embossing on the cover though comes with a fee. Nice touch if you're really into personalizing your things.

So approximately 2 weeks after ordering the items (note I did order other personalized items) I received my passport holder neatly tucked in it's own box.

The leather is soft to the touch. As mentioned, all 4 of our passport fits - 2 for me and 2 for my kiddo. There's are 2 slots foe cards and a pen holder. It also has slota underneath the passport holders for other papers, IDs or documents (you need to fold them though).

I definitely love the red color and the embossed names!

If you're interested, please search Booths Republic on Facebook.
