I'm looking for a shoulder bag/sort-of EDC for when I take my dog out, and the closest one I could find is Cotopaxi's Trozo Bag. Unfortunately it's mostly sold out and the remaining color option isn't my jam, are there similar ones to this bag that people would recommend?
-looking to hold a mixture of: 9.5" diameter frisbee, a small pull toy, extra leash, or collapsible dish + water bottle, etc. So thinking around 6-8L, and the flatter design of tech bags don't work so well because some of these added items can bulge it a little.
-I appreciate color options or some flair, the more rugged/plain styles are less appealing to me (but honestly I'm willing to check out any recs!). But as a bag holding dog supplies, I wouldn't want something like leather or a nicer material as this'll likely get some wear and tear, and I'm avoiding light colors that dirt could show up on.
My husband and I will by heading to Japan (mainly Tokyo) for the last 10 days of May! Here’s my packing list for the 20L Cotopaxi Allpa and the 8L Cotopaxi Trozo:
Packing cube #1: 6 undies, 6 thin socks, 1 sports bra, 1 undershirt w/shelf bra, 1 sleep shirt
Packing cube #2: 1 blue button down short sleeve, 1 white button down long sleeve, 1 black 3/4 sleeve shirt, 1 striped T-shirt
Striped linen shorts, denim shorts, black undershorts for lounging/wearing under dresses
2 dresses, one black, one striped linen. I forgot to take pictures of these but the black one looks just like that, the linen one is the closest picture I could find online
Toiletry (liquid) bag: body lotion, face lotion, lip stain, shampoo, curl cream, gel, toothpaste, toothbrush
Other toiletries: hair brush, 2 small claw clips, first aid kit (also containing bobby pins, hair ties, floss), razor, deodorant, tweezers
Electronics: Kindle, iPad and its charger
Things included but I forgot to take a picture of: flip flops, bonnet/scarf for my hair for sleeping, lip vaseline, gum, 16 oz reusable water bottle
Additional items I’ll be carrying on my person: phone, wallet, passport, Airpods, jewelry
Since I’ll be traveling with my husband, there are a couple items he’s bringing that we’ll both use: his phone charger, ibuprofen, and q-tips. I’m bringing for us both the toothpaste, USB-C charger for our Airpods and iPad, and the iPad (which I would not have brought in the first place if I were traveling alone, but it’ll be the only big electronic we’re bringing together and it’s nice to share a big screen)
For the sake of this post, I put literally everything in the 20L bag except the iPad and its charger, which were in the shoulder bag.
The airline we’re flying with allows 7kgs (15.4 lbs) of weight for both personal items and carry-ons total, which is why I’m bringing only a 20L bag. If the weight didn’t matter, I would’ve definitely brought a bigger bag instead, haha. But this all weighs in at only 6.3 kgs!
I’m happy to answer any questions and I’m open to any and all suggestions/feedback!
