Sustainable bags and accessories for workout and wellness

About La Pochette
Sweat bags, wet bags and small kit pouches for people who fit a workout, swim or spa visit into a working day. They are designed to go inside a handbag or holdall, so gym kit, trunks or wet swimwear travel separately from everything else.
Individual pieces cover the Sweat Bag and Kit Bag through to Shoe Bags, Wet Bags and Aqua Bags, sized Small, Large and Maxi depending on whether they need to hold a bikini and phone or several swimsuits and extras. Wet Bag pouches are fully waterproof, with a lining chamber rated to 3000mm of water pressure when sealed correctly: the Sweat Bag, Shoe Box and Anywhere Everywhere pouches are water resistant, built to withstand splashes and rain but not submersion. Clear Pouches, resistance bands and travel bottles and pots round out the range, and many lines are sold as bundles, pairing a Kit Bag with a Sweat Bag or Shoe Bag.
The signature material is manufactured in Asia from 100% recycled fibres and carries Global Recycle Standard certification, covering chain of custody and chemical restrictions as well as recycled content. Founder Justine set up the brand after finding no compact alternative to a full gym bag for carrying kit between a desk and a spin class, drawing on a background in sports and luxury fashion. La Pochette sells directly online and also supplies wholesale stockists.

Questions about La Pochette
What sizes does the La Pochette Wet Bag come in?
The Wet Bag range comes in Small, Large and Maxi sizes alongside the Aqua Bag. The Small holds a bikini or swimsuit with a phone in the back pocket, the Large fits swimwear and a few post-swim essentials, and the Maxi has room for multiple swimsuits plus extras such as sun cream or a Kindle.
Is the La Pochette Wet Bag actually waterproof?
Yes, the Wet Bag pouches are fully waterproof, with a lining chamber that resists moisture to a rate of 3000mm of water pressure when sealed correctly. This differs from the Sweat Bag, Shoe Box and Anywhere Everywhere pouches, which are water resistant rather than fully waterproof.
How do I wash a La Pochette Sweat Bag?
The Sweat Bag, along with the Wet Bag and Shoe Box, is machine washable at 30 degrees, but should not be bleached, tumble dried, ironed or dry cleaned. The Anywhere Everywhere pouches and wristlets are hand wash only and can be wiped clean with a gentle cleanser.
What material is the La Pochette Sweat Bag made from?
La Pochette uses a signature material manufactured in Asia that holds Global Recycle Standard certification, which verifies recycled content, chain of custody and responsible working practices. The Wet Bag pouches, Shoe Boxes and Sweat Bag material are made from 100% recycled fibres.
How long does La Pochette delivery take?
Standard UK delivery with DPD takes two to three days and is free on orders over £50, while express next-day delivery costs £5 for orders placed before 1pm on a weekday. EU orders arrive in five to eight days, and La Pochette covers EU customs fees, though deliveries to the rest of the world can take up to seven working days and may incur import duties payable by the customer.
How do I return a La Pochette order?
Items can be returned by post within 14 days of receipt provided they are unused and in perfect condition, using the returns section of the delivery note enclosed with the parcel. The customer bears the cost of return postage and the parcel remains their responsibility until it reaches the La Pochette warehouse in Wigan.
What happens if my La Pochette item arrives faulty?
A faulty item can be returned under the normal return procedure for an exchange or refund, and La Pochette will assess whether the fault was a manufacturing issue. If it is confirmed as faulty, a replacement is shipped subject to availability or a credit note is issued, and the customer is reimbursed for standard return postage.
Can I cancel or change a La Pochette order after placing it?
Other than for personalised products, shoppers have a legal right to cancel within 14 days of receipt for a full refund, provided they notify La Pochette by email before that period expires. If an order has not yet been packed and shipped, changes can usually still be made by contacting the company directly.
Does La Pochette ship outside the UK?
La Pochette delivers worldwide except for a long list of excluded countries, though it does not currently ship to the United States. EU orders take five to eight days with customs fees covered by La Pochette, while deliveries to other eligible countries may take up to seven working days and customs duties remain the customer's responsibility.
