This is the original and simply the best. The design is beautifully thought out: the lower compartment is perfect for liquids, the upper compartment holds everything else. It holds a surprising amount but still fits nicely into my luggage. The zippers are very good quality - I am not worried about them oxidizing or breaking, and the leather is thick so again the quality is amazing. I have had many "dopp" kits - this is my first Dopp brand kit - and I will never go back.
