Dopp Kit by Atlas Bespoke

It was German leathermaker Charles Doppelt who spotted the opportunity of a newly mobile world in the wake of World War I: The wealthy men voyaging between Europe and America, he reasoned, would want to bring their grooming essentials along for those extended journeys. So he devised a compact zippered pouch intended to do just that—and it was popular enough that he gave it his name.

Still, these days the quality of such toiletry bags has sadly declined, even among the most discerning travelers, who might just as readily throw a few things in a plastic bag to keep on hand in case they ever need to fly commercial at a moment’s notice. That’s where this spectacular Dopp kit from Atlas Bespoke can help: It’s a minimalist, luxurious design with maximum utility.

The bag is constructed with dual-snap-secured compartments, reinforced with heavy-duty zippers, and accented by premium leather trim. There is a slim front pocket that provides easy access to smaller essentials, while the smooth leather exterior lends a sophisticated finish. The lightweight, resilient nylon is accented with leather, and the curved-edge design is soft yet sturdy. The dual-zip compartments feature polished-metal custom hardware.

Atlas Bespoke’s approach to production is a throwback to an era when clients were truly consulted and when a tailor or craftsman had a personal relationship with everyone for whom they made clothes or accessories. The firm is headquartered in New York City, where it welcomes clients for one-on-one consultations at its Midtown atelier, but its reach is worldwide. Founder Marianna Lomsinko travels to every major fashion hub, hunting down the perfect partner among the family-run studios that still remain there, whether in Milan or Hong Kong, Naples or Florence. When Atlas Bespoke produces an item for a client, it’s intimately connected to the maker, their mark evident in every stitch.
