The Desk
Dopp Kit
Every man should have
this secret weapon at work
Are you fully back at the office now? Perhaps you're only there a few days a week. Maybe you're working from a cafe or co-working space these days. Whatever your work set-up is, you should probably have a desk Dopp kit on hand. Much like the classic leather travel bag discerning men carry with them on trips, creating a handy desk-friendly version is a smart move for any modern gentleman.
It's your in-case-of-emergency kit. Grooming staples? Check. Stain fighters and pain killers? Check. Mints and eye patches to combat a hangover? Check. Just by having it on hand, you'll find it easier to brush your teeth after lunch or freshen up before post-work drinks. With this kit, you'll never feel out of place or unprepared for what's coming your way—be it a last minute presentation, a spur of the moment date or a drop-in by an out-of-town superior. Of course, you'll want to tailor your kit to your needs and workplace. But here's what the Valet. team has packed in ours.

The Perfect Pouch
We wanted a sharp looking case with internal organizers to keep everything tucked neatly in place. One that was durable but slim enough to slip into a drawer. Thankfully, Bellroy makes the perfect one.
