Materials & Care

What are Hi Love Travel bags made of?

Our bags are made with high-quality recycled materials and Tyvek, a lightweight, durable and water-resistant material developed by DuPont. Tyvek is 100% recyclable and built to last, which is part of why our Puffer Collection holds up so well to daily travel.

How do I wash my Hi Love Travel bag?

Start with mild soap, water and a soft cloth. Always test a small area before cleaning the whole bag. For tougher stains, use a stain-specific cleaner. We do not recommend machine washing, because it can affect the bag's structure and finish.

Are Hi Love Travel bags water-resistant?

Yes. All our bags are made from water-resistant materials, so light rain, spills and damp items inside are not a problem. Our Puffer Collection in particular is built to shrug off wet weather without losing its shape, and our pouches can even hold wet swimwear.

Are Hi Love Travel bags waterproof?

Hi Love Travel bags are water-resistant, not waterproof. They handle rain, splashes and damp swimwear without a problem, but they are not designed to be submerged, and we would not recommend leaving one out in heavy rain for an extended period. For beach and pool days, our pouches are made to hold wet items and keep the rest of your bag dry.

Where are Hi Love Travel bags made?

Hi Love Travel bags are designed in Chicago. They are manufactured by our production partners to Hi Love Travel quality standards before shipping from our facility in Mundelein, IL.

Vegan & Sustainability

Are Hi Love Travel bags vegan?

Yes. Every Hi Love Travel product is 100% vegan. We never use real leather, suede or any animal-derived materials, so you can shop with a clear conscience.

Sizing & Fit

Where can I find the measurements for Hi Love Travel bags?

Exact dimensions are listed on each product page. Our zipper pouches come in five sizes, from smallest to largest: Gift Card Pouch, Mini, Cosmetic, Medium and Jumbo. For bags, purses and totes, check the "HI LOVE Insider" section on the product page for measurements and what each one fits.

How do I choose the right size fanny pack or wristlet?

It comes down to what you are carrying. Our Layflat Fanny Pack has a slim, low-profile fit for just the essentials, while the Puffer Crossbody Fanny Pack Belt Bag has more room for a water bottle, sunglasses and keys. Both convert between waist, crossbody and shoulder wear. Wristlets run smaller by design, built for a phone, cards and cash on a hands-free night out. See sizes on the Fanny Packs and Wristlets collections.
