Ziploc baggies…
That’s what I used to carry my essential oils in when I would travel.
My personality gravitates towards the “just get ‘er done” mindset, so if I have a choice, I generally prefer functional over frilly.
But in reality, Ziplock baggies aren’t all that functional… The bottles bang together, and leak, and rattle around. And considering how valuable essential oils are to my life nowadays, I figured it was time to give them a slightly less-trashy place to travel in.
I’ve tried a couple different little canvas baggies, and they’ve worked marginally well, although I usually had to get creative with how I pack the oils, since they didn’t have a lot of extra room. And they were fairly, well, boring as far as colors and styles went.
So when Steffanie over at Sew Grown contacted me and offered to send me a couple of their essential oil clutches to try, I jumped on the chance! Here’s why—>
The Nitty-Gritty About Sew Grown Essential Oil Clutches
When I find a product that’s superior to its mass-produced counterparts, and it comes from a small, family-owned company, that’s a win-win for me. And Sew Grown fits the bill on both parts.
Here’s why I’m lovin’ my essential oil carrying case:
- The products are made in America and feature high quality materials and timeless Liberty of London Fabric.
- The craftsmanship is excellent and you can tell extreme care has been taken with every detail of the clutch
- It’s roomier than many of the canvas bags I’ve tried, and the larger size will fit roller bottles and some spritzers too.
- The fabric prints have a homespun feel and fit my homestead-style quite nicely.
- The larger clutch holds 12 glass bottles (5ml to 1 oz size, including spray bottles up to 4″ tall).
- The smaller keychain clutch holds 10 sample-size bottles, as well as one roller bottle at the bottom.
- The carrying case is padded and reinforced for oil safety and securely holds bottles in place with the fitted elastic straps.
How I’m Using My Sew Grown Carrying Cases
My essential oil collection has become, um…. quite large over the last three years. I have little stashes of oils everywhere it seems. Here’s how I’m using my Sew Grown carrying cases to keep my little brown bottles tidy and organized:
- I have my most commonly used oils in the larger clutch (lavender, peppermint, frankincense, lemon, etc). It’s ready to go at all times, and is easy for me to toss in a suitcase or carry-on when I’m traveling, so I never leave home without the essentials.
I have my most-used oils in smaller sample-sized bottles in the keychain caddy. It stays in my purse and I take it with me when I’m running errands, etc. The keychain caddy also fits one roller bottle, so I plan to keep that filled with whatever concoction I’m using the most at that point in time (bug repellent, anyone?). Or, the sample-sized bottles are great for sharing, too.

What a timely post! We just returned from a week trip in our trailer and I was up to my eyeballs in baggies for my oils! I even checked out some of the local shops on the trip for a solution and here it is! Love your site, so much. Just made and started using your hand lotion and it is wonderful!
Perfect timing! And I’m thrilled you are enjoying the hand lotion.
Just getting into using oils, need to learn alot more on their uses.
Using Essential Oils has greatly improved my health and body. I learn something new every day. A lovely travel tote would be awesome to carry what I need on holidays. Thanks for a great site!
It would be awesome to win a carrying case! I just started using essential oils thanks to viewing many sessions of the recent online Essential Oils Revolution event. It was fantastic, and I learned so much! Thanks for all of your help in getting this event off the ground!
I’m so happy you enjoyed the event Susan!
I am new at using essential oils and just finished a trip and had my oils spill a bit, so this bag would be so helpful. Another trip this month, July and January!
Would love it for next trip.

When you use baggies (freezer are much stronger) – just add some rice in the bag first … no more clinking bottles and every few weeks you’ve got amazing potpourri that honestly keeps the house smelling yummy for at least a month!!

Love this idea! This would work so much better than my change purse which just doesn’t fit enough!
I’ve used a pacifier carrier for my oils but it’s not big enough, I need to try those cute carrying cases!
Wound love this for my oils, no more chances of broken bottles. .

Before I read about Sew Grown, I just ordered a cosmetic bag with my favorite artist’s painting, Starry Nights, printed on both sides of the bag. I am so excited to receive it.
I have so many oils that I will also need another bag, and will purchase one from Sew Grown. And like my other bag, will be excited, as well. I, too, have been using zip loc bags. Does no good. LOL
Thank you !!
