Striped Take It Away Custom Storage Pouch - Custom Rugby

What It Is

BaubleBar built its reputation on jewelry that photographs beautifully and ships fast — and this pouch is a direct extension of that logic. The Take It Away Custom Storage Pouch in the Rugby stripe is their bestselling organizer dressed up in a bold horizontal stripe pattern, then finished with a two-letter monogram in an outline font. It's the kind of thing you buy for yourself and immediately wish you'd bought for everyone on your gift list.

The Customization

You pick two uppercase letters and choose from a curated set of color combinations — the same palette BaubleBar used for their Striped Custom Alpha Tote, so the pieces coordinate if you want a matched set. The outline font reads as modern rather than fussy: it has enough personality to feel personal without veering into sorority-rush territory. One honest note: the personalization is limited to two initials in a single font style. If you were hoping for a full name, a script option, or a completely bespoke color, this isn't that — BaubleBar controls the palette and the letterform.

Size and Practicality

At 0.16 lb, this pouch is genuinely lightweight. BaubleBar describes it as spacious enough for jewelry, makeup, and travel essentials while still fitting into a backpack pocket, tote, or carry-on — and based on the proportions, that tracks. It's the kind of size that solves the specific problem of dumping your studs into a ziplock bag before a weekend trip. The stripe pattern also means it's easy to spot at the bottom of a bag without squinting.

Who Makes This

BaubleBar is a direct-to-consumer jewelry and accessories brand that's been selling personalized pieces since 2011. Their customization pipeline is well-practiced — items like this are not print-on-demand wildcards; they're a core part of the business. That matters for quality consistency.

The Price Question

Thirty-eight dollars for a storage pouch is a real number. You can absolutely find a plain canvas pouch for $8. What you're paying for here is the personalization, the brand-coordinated colorway, and the fact that this reads as a considered accessory rather than a utilitarian bag. Whether that math works depends entirely on whether you care about your organizational tools pulling double duty as something you'd leave out on a dresser.

Gift Potential

This is a strong gift, full stop. The monogram makes it feel specific to the recipient without requiring you to know their taste in jewelry or clothing. Bridesmaids, new moms who travel for work, the friend who always has a tangled jewelry situation in her tote — it lands for all of them. The matching tote option means you can build out a coordinated set if the budget allows.
