I purchased this on 23rd July 2014. I find this a very useful wash bag to keep my soap box and toothbrush case and other toiletries. There is a side pocket on each side, inside the bag which is useful place to keep combs, etc. On the outside of the bag there is also a useful zipped side pocket.(I keep a few self sealed plastic bags rolled up (in the wash bag) in order to store, damp flannels, and anything that could leak into the Wash Bag such as shower gel and shampoo.)Hi, it is Saturday, 15th December 2018 and I have been asked again to comment about this product. It is the best Toiletry Men's Wash Bag I have ever purchased, it it extremely well made. I have been using it constantly since 2014. I am not an expert, I believe that the outside of the Toiletry Men's Wash Bag to be made from very fine soft thin leather; I cannot tell about the inside, as the case is lined. I am very careful to keep the Toiletry Men's Wash Bag as dry and clean as possible, so that it does not attract mould. I hope my answer is helpful to you.
