Travel in style: 8 sustainable bags, pouches and packing cubes for you – Uashmama UK

There’s something magical about family summer holidays, whether you’re jetting off abroad, planning a staycation in the UK, or camping an hour from home. It’s a time to slow down, soak up the sunshine, and make memories with loved ones that last a lifetime.

At UASHMAMA, we know a thing or two about family. As a family-run business, we believe the luggage you travel with should be just as thoughtful as the trip itself - practical, sustainable, and made to last.

And the right travel accessories can make all the difference - we’d rather feel calm, organised, and ready for anything, than to be frantically digging through our bags at the airport.

These 8 sustainable travel bags are designed to help you stay stylish and stress-free during your summer holiday, and they’re made to last too.

1. UASHMAMA Crossbody Phone Case, £54

Let’s face it, your phone is your ultimate travel tool. From digital boarding passes, train tickets and contactless payments, to translation apps and map directions, and of course, sharing summer holiday snaps with friends and family (or strangers on Instagram) to make them envious.

Our Crossbody Phone Case keeps your phone secure, accessible, and hands-free. Lightweight, water-resistant, and made with sustainable washable paper and organic cotton, it fits up to iPhone Plus models and features an adjustable shoulder strap for comfort.

2. Bodhi Explorer Duffle Bag from Farans, £140

You’ll need a large bag to take all your essentials on holiday, and you might not want to use a suitcase - a weekend bag is often much easier to stash in a car boot or overhead locker.

We love this Explorer Duffle Bag from Farans, made from eco-friendly recycled canvas and available in eight colours - it’s roomy enough for all your summer holiday must-haves without weighing you down.

3. UASHMAMA Sling Bag, £78

A crossbody bag is really useful when travelling, as it keeps all your essentials - your passport, travel documents, money, and maybe a snack too - in one secure and easily accessible place.

Our Sling Body Bag crafted from eco-friendly washable paper has an interior pocket for organised storage, and a sturdy zip, and you can even change the crossbody strap to match your outfit. Chic, compact, and super practical.

4. BAGGU Puffy Glasses Sleeve from Keep + Kind, £16

Sunshine is never guaranteed (especially if you’re summer holidaying in the UK) but your sunglasses deserve protection either way.

Keep them safe and snug in the Puffy Glasses Sleeve by BAGGU, made from quilted recycled ripstop nylon and stuffed with recycled PET polyfill. These glasses pouches are the perfect mix of sustainability and style, and the fun designs are a bonus.

5. UASHMAMA Gimi Purse Small, £20

Even if you usually pay for everything with your phone, a slim purse for your go-to cards and emergency notes is a summer travel essential - you never know when you’ll come across a cash-only café, bus, or souvenir shop.

Made from our signature eco-friendly washable paper, the Gimi Purse has a compact design and a secure leather loop with a keyring attachment - perfect for clipping inside your bag so it’s always within reach.

6. UASHMAMA Beauty Case, £44-56

A bag for toiletries is always a useful thing, to keep them separate and avoid getting creams, gels and soaps on your other summer holiday essentials, or for keeping things tidy in your hotel or holiday cottage bathroom.

Our sustainable washbag is made from our eco-friendly washable paper material, and comes in 3 sizes - the medium is really handy for holding make up, charging cables for travelling, or hand sanitiser and hand cream on the go too!

7. BAGGU Packing Cube Set from Keep + Kind, £34

Have you used packing cubes before? They’re a game-changer when it comes to keeping your suitcase organised, separating clean and worn clothes, and they make unpacking a breeze, as you can pop them straight into drawers when you arrive at your summer holiday destination.

This Packing Cube Set by BAGGU is made with 100% recycled nylon filament yarn produced from pre-consumer waste, which saves scrap material from being landfilled, conserves petroleum resources, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

With some of the same cute designs as the Puffy Glasses Sleeve, these sustainable packing cubes are perfect for you if you like your luggage to be matchy-matchy.

8. UASHMAMA Giulia Carryall Tote Bag Small, from £120

Lastly, a good-sized do-it-all day bag. Whether you’re heading to the beach, the market, a museum, or all three, it’s handy to be able to carry everything you need, from suncream to a warm layer, and perhaps your summer holiday read.

Crafted from our eco-friendly AGGO washable paper, organic cotton, and leather, our Carryall Tote features a magnetic closure and interior zipped pocket to keep things secure.

And there’ll be space for any souvenirs you pick up along the way, too!
