If you’ve never heard of Kinzd, then I have a quick little story to share about a dog who loved to tear up leather wallets. Five years ago, his owner decided to start making durable, slim wallets at an affordable price, and from socially conscious materials in Hong Kong. That’s how Kinzd (the puppy’s name!) was born.

Kinzd, which distributes its bags and wallets to 95 countries now, sent us two complimentary items to review:

 

• Travel cosmetic pouch: Made of waterproof, durable Oxford nylon, it measures 8×3.5×4 inches. Available in 6 colors for $13.99
• Large make-up bag: Made of waterproof, durable Oxford nylon, it measures 13×7.5×4 inches. Available in 4 colors for $16.99

Our Kinzd bags are sturdy and durable and hold their shape well. The nylon outer is easy to wipe clean.

The travel pouch is a nice little make-up bag that is perfect for short trips, or for keeping a small amount of cosmetics in. The larger case can serve as your everyday make-up bag, or as a travel case for bigger items like shampoo, lotion, hairspray, etc.

One of my favorite features is the heavy duty zipper, which operates smoothly and flawlessly. These bags aren’t loud or flashy; the sleek design is classic and understated.

Besides bags and accessory cases, Kinzd is best known for affordable men’s and women’s genuine leather wallets. Slim, practical and stylish, they feature RFID blocking technology and a 6-month warranty.

You can shop Kinzd directly at their website or on Amazon.
