Lt. Anthony Arellano

CREED Travel Grooming Kit in black

It’s obvious that CREED leather kits, hand-stitched in France from Italian leather, are an attractive take-anywhere way to store shaving gear, shampoo, soap and, of course, fragrance. But how strong and durable are they? Tough enough for U.S. troops serving in Iraq.

In 2009, as part of our regular, free shipments of grooming goods, including soaps and hair-and-body washes, to U.S. troops serving in Iraq, CREED sent a leather travel-grooming kit to U.S. Army First Lieutenant Anthony Arellano, serving in a field artillery unit outside the city of Tikrit. Lieutenant Arellano kept his CREED kit with him for the rest of his tour in Iraq, which included many dangerous missions. CREED is proud the kit withstood searing heat and sun, rough travel, sand and sustained use in perfect condition. CREED is very pleased that Lieutenant Arellano and his kit have returned safely to the U.S.

From its durable handle to its double-zip compartments, CREED kits sized at 10 inches long, six and one half inches high and four inches wide are an ideal way to carry with you all your grooming goods — wherever in the world you go.
