Cotton shoe bags and accessory bags from Langer & Messmer in 100% cotton with a drawstring. The pair protects your shoes when travelling and in the wardrobe; the small bag keeps care items and accessories tidy.
Cotton shoe bags
A shoe bag keeps a pair of shoes together and protects them from dust and scuffs on the move, while the rest of the case stays clean. At Langer & Messmer the bags are made of 100% cotton, beige with an understated bordeaux print, and close with a drawstring.
Shoe bags in a set of two for travel
The set of two holds one bag per shoe, each 21 by 37 cm and suitable for shoes up to size 50. Every pair travels protected inside the case without soiling clothing or the lining. At home the bags keep dust off shoes you wear only now and then.
Cotton bag 18 by 18 cm for accessories
The smaller cotton bag measures 18 by 18 cm and is meant for everything around shoe care: care products, brushes, a belt or laces stay together and to hand. For travel it is the natural companion to the shoe bag.
Why cotton?
Cotton lets air reach the shoe, unlike a plastic bag where moisture can build up. The fabric is reusable and feels considered, and the print stays discreet. So the bags protect the shoes without looking like something to throw away.
Around your travels
To keep shoes in shape on the road, pack a pair of cedar shoe trees, and a shoe horn makes putting them on at the hotel easier. You will find the exact measurements on the two product pages, the shoe bags in a set of two and the cotton bag 18 by 18 cm.
Frequently asked questions
What is a shoe bag and what is it for?
A shoe bag holds a pair of shoes and protects them from dust and scuffs. When travelling it stops soles from soiling the clothes in your case; at home it keeps dust off pairs you wear only now and then.
What is the best way to pack shoes in a case?
It is best to put each shoe in its own bag, soles together, and place the pair at the edge of the case. The cotton lets the shoes breathe, so less moisture is likely to build up on the way.
Why cotton rather than plastic?
Cotton is breathable and lets air reach the shoe, whereas a plastic bag can trap moisture and odour. A cotton bag is also reusable and feels more considered.
What is the small 18 by 18 cm cotton bag for?
It is meant for accessories: care products, brushes, a belt or laces stay together inside it. That keeps your shoe care in one place when travelling or in a drawer.
