Striped Take It Away Custom Storage Pouch - Custom Soleil

What It Is

BaubleBar built its name on accessible jewelry, but the Take It Away pouch has quietly become one of its best-sellers — and once you see it in person, it's not hard to understand why. The Custom Soleil version adds a candy-striped exterior in a palette borrowed from the brand's popular Alpha Tote line, plus your choice of two uppercase letters in an outline font. The result is something that feels genuinely personal without veering into monogram-cliché territory.

At 0.16 pounds, this thing weighs almost nothing, which matters more than you'd expect. We've all had "travel pouches" that added bulk to a bag before we put a single item inside. This isn't that.

The Case for a Jewelry Pouch This Specific

We keep a dedicated jewelry pouch in every travel bag we own, and the requirements are stricter than they sound: it has to be big enough to hold a few necklaces without tangling, small enough to slip into a tote without eating the whole pocket, and visually distinct enough that we can locate it by feel in the dark. The Custom Soleil checks all three.

The striped exterior does real organizational work — it's easy to spot in a crowded bag. The personalization (your two initials, embroidered or printed in outline font) turns a commodity pouch into something you'll actually be annoyed to leave at home.

BaubleBar describes it as spacious enough for jewelry, makeup, and travel items — we'd call it a "medium" by pouch standards. Think: a few pairs of earrings, a couple of rings, a lip gloss, your AirPods. Not your full skincare routine, but a solid edit of the things you grab every morning.

The Personalization Angle

The color combos are curated by BaubleBar, inspired by their Striped Custom Alpha Tote — so if you want a matching set, the ecosystem is already there. The two-letter customization keeps it versatile: your initials, a friend's, a couple's first letters. It's the kind of detail that makes this a genuinely thoughtful gift rather than a generic stocking stuffer.

That said, personalization means lead time. If you need this tomorrow, you'll be disappointed. Plan ahead, especially around holidays.

A Few Honest Caveats

At $38, this sits in the "considered gift" tier rather than the impulse-buy tier. For a no-frills zip pouch, that's a real premium — you're paying for the brand, the customization, and the design, not exceptional materials. If you need something purely functional and don't care about the personalization, there are cheaper pouches that do the job.

We also don't know what the interior looks like — no compartments are mentioned, so if you need separate pockets for earring backs and longer necklaces, temper expectations. It's a single-compartment pouch by all appearances.

The Bottom Line

The Custom Soleil is a pouch we'd buy for ourselves and recommend without hesitation as a gift for anyone who travels with jewelry, keeps their bag organized, or just appreciates something that looks considered without being fussy. The $38 price stings slightly less once you're holding it.
