Grooming bag/box recommendations?

[Flying_Form]

Just wondering if anyone here has any recommendations for grooming bags or boxes that hold a lot of products?

I do a bit of grooming (plaiting, turning out, pulling manes, clipping, etc) on the side for friends, family and friends of friends. As you can imagine I have amassed quite the collection of grooming items! I have a grooming bag now which holds all of the items but it doesn’t have many compartments so after a day of plaiting five horses my bag is usually all over the place !

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could use for storage that is easily portable? I don’t have an ungodly amount or anything and what I have does fit into most grooming bags, however I just want it to have a few more compartments to be a bit organised. Has to be enough to hold a couple boxes of plaiting bands, 4-5 brushes, a few body sprays, sponge, cloth, etc!

Have you thought of a tool box? Something like the Stanley rolling workshop toolbox

As above - stanley fatmax is what we use in the showing world. A cheaper alternative is makeup artist trolley case.

Tool boxes are useful, or I have a grooming bag by Hy Equestrian, navy rectangular one with 4 bottle slots, two main compartments and half a dozen pockets. It's great!

The Shires EziGroom box in the ‘Deluxe’ style looks good, compartments and a removable tray.

I also use a toolbox as I find it more sturdy and, in some cases, cheaper. I have seen some groomers use a belt for holding smaller pieces that they regularly use, like mane combs, scissors, plaiting bands, etc. The belt has little compartments for individual pieces, and it is just around your waist, so it is very easy to get to.

I still use the rigid plastic grooming box I had as a beginner. When it is shut, you can stand on it to plait. It doesnt lock but I used a waterproof marker to put my name on the box and all my brushes. Everything is washable, luckilly, as it got infested with moth during Covid lockdown. I leave it at the yard but no one has ever nicked any of my brushes.
