These microfiber pouches are exactly right for carrying glasses, plus their microfiberness means you can polish those plastic lenses without scratching them. Measure 4” x 7” with a drawstring on top. They come in gray, maroon, black, lavender, green and blue, and we’ll pick the colors for you because glasses don’t care what color they’re stored in and you shouldn’t either.

Call it the bag of a lesser messenger. This dark olive Extreme Pak™ tote looks like a mini-backpack but has a shoulder strap plus a pair of handles. Measures approx 11-1/2" tall x 8-1/2" wide x 6" deep front to back, it's got a big inside zippered compartment, a smaller zippered pouch on the bottom, a pair of hook-and-loop closed pockets on the top, plus a plethora (that'd be 10) of band loops to hang stuff off. Mfg suggested retail is over $30. Just saying.

Our big square duffel bag is made of water-resistant polyester canvas in a digital camo design, perfect for members of the military or anyone who wants to hide luggage in the woods. Measures 25" long x 14" square with 14" square x 2-1/2" pockets on each end with slide-in compartments on the outside and a pair of 9" x 10" zippered pockets on the front. Light olive canvas handles and a matching detachable shoulder strap.

Super lightweight red nylon day pack, perfect for packing on vacation or for regular kiddie use. Measures 17” x 11” x 5-1/4” when unfurled with 30” adjustable straps. Has an integral carrying pouch on the inside top, so it can get completely inside itself (which is more than we can do) into a neat 5-1/2” square bundle. Zippered top closure.

We think these clear, heavy vinyl zip-top pouches were made to hold make-up, with slots for applicators, lip-sticks, etc., but they’re mighty handy for a plethora-and-a-half of sundry storage and travel needs. You pick the small pouches, 5-1/2" x 4-7/8" tall with (3) 1-3/8” x 2-1/8” tall inner sleeves along the bottom; or the large at 7-3/4" x 5" with (5) 1-1/2” wide x 2” deep inner sleeves plus another teeny one 2” long x 3/8” at a right angle. The sleeves are only on one side, so the whole expanding pouch is also available for storage.

The snazzy part is the metallic-toned bottoms. These nylon pouches are 6" deep x 3-3/4" lined and lightly padded. Have drawstrings and spherical cord locks, plus small tabs on the back, which would take a neck cord if you had one. You pick black and olive green with metallic-toned checkerboard bottom, or red with gold-tone bottom.

And reflective triangles are safety warnings. This one’s on the back of a 9-1/2” x 2-1/4” triangular nylon bag originally for an auto emergency kit, but empty now. It’s black, with red piping, a reflective green triangle on one side, a zipper around two sides, and a fabric loop at one corner. We like it for the back of a bike or a jogger, a way to stay safe and carry a sandwich at the same time.

It will take a person of some sartorial presence to carry this, but if a man’s (or woman’s) reach does not exceed his (or her) grasp, then what’s a heaven for? (Don’t write to complain--call Robert Browning.) In vinyl, in a take-no-prisoners floral print, this pouch/purse is 6-1/2" x 4-5/8" with a gold-tone retro snap closure. The question is: do you have the confidence to carry it?

Perfect gift, goody or treat bag in translucent, semi-rigid plastic. Measures 8" tall x 5-1/4" x 2-7/8" with handle slots on top. It has "the great indoors" printed in small, unobtrusive white text on one side. Stored flat, you fold 'em. Incredible bulk pricing.

Just like mom carries, but sized for tots whose hands are closer to the ground. Our little canvas tote bags measure 8-3/8" x 8-1/2" x 2-1/4" with pix of cartoon kids on one side. You pick a dozen with either "Grandma, you're sweet" or "Grandpa, you're full of fun" above the cartoon, and with appropriately pink or blue handles.
