People (like us) have been begging this award-winning brand for YEARS to make a bag for their magnetic travel capsules
If you haven’t heard of Cadence capsules, you’ve probably traveled with someone who uses them, walked past them in the Container Store, or gotten yourself into a situation where they would’ve come in handy. The refillable, TSA-approved capsules carry any essentials—from skincare and shower products to jewelry and medicines—on travel excursions near and far.
Amongst the Cadence-loving community (of which we are proud members) there’s been a dream top-of-mind for some time now: a TSA-approved case to carry the travel capsules. At long last, we heard that Cadence is releasing an all-new, highly coveted (read: guaranteed to sell out) bag system: The Parcel System.
In preparation for what is arguably the most exciting Cadence launch of the year (and there have been a LOT of amazing launches), we compiled all of the need-to-knows down below.
4,500 Engineering Hours Went Into This Bag Design… And It Shows
Cadence doesn’t mess around when it comes to engineering—their travel capsules were workshopped for years, the culmination of 207 prototypes. And then they revamped them again. Needless to say, Cadence took the creation of The Parcel System very seriously. So seriously that they spent 4,500 hours developing the final model. And it shows.
This dual-function bag is anything but traditional. When the top is open, it can be used as a tray or bin, and when closed, the bag resembles a compact brick—the ideal, small travel bag. Because the surface is 88% clear, the bag is TSA-approved… an enormous win for anyone who’s ever tried to jam all of their toiletries in a plastic bag pre-flight. Like a Ziploc, The Parcel System is quart-sized, but unlike a Ziploc, it is secure and simple to close—self-locating magnets attach themselves, and one side of the bag can be tucked into the other to “lock” it shut.
The bag is constructed with 42% recycled materials, and its body is clear TPU sheet, welded together (as opposed to sewn) in an effort to maximize durability and leak-resistance. Cadence capsules themselves are leak-proof, but should anything ever spill on this bag, the plastic surface makes it fast and easy to fully clean. Just another example of Cadence prioritizing customer convenience above all else.
These Travel Capsules Changed Our Life(style)
There would be no Parcel System without Cadence travel capsules. In just 4 years, Cadence has amassed thousands of loyal fans who have purchased 2,000,000+ capsules (and counting). People use them in all sorts of scenarios—in everyday purses and totes, for work travel, commuting, staying with partners… the list goes on.
Notably, the size of each is printed on the outside (0.56oz, 1.32oz, 2.75oz) to guarantee compliance with TSA regulations (love). Unlike overpriced travel-sized toiletry items, Cadence capsules are:
- Leakproof
- Magnetic
- Refillable
- Labeled with interchangeable, customizable tiles
- Indestructible (…nearly)
- Vibrantly colored with a sleek design
- Available in 3 sizes (plus a 1.43 oz Extender)
Most of our team members throw their Capsule Systems in some sort of pouch before placing them in a larger bag. But, they’re SO aesthetically pleasing that we’ve got to show ’em off to the world… right?! Enter: The Parcel System.
TLDR: This Bag is Just What The Cadence Capsules Needed
The dimensions of the bag are 7” by 5.5” by 2.25” (5.5” when open) so it’s easy to imagine just how efficiently the bag would tuck into a tote, duffel, suitcase, etc. The simple, clear packaging makes the contents easy to locate, easy for TSA to approve, and easy to admire. In so many ways, that simplicity is the Cadence model: their capsule and bag system seamlessly support your daily routine and lifestyle. And who could say no to that?
If you’ve yet to experience the joy that is packing with Cadence capsules, now is the time to rectify that situation. Our team made our first Cadence order in 2020, and we’ve never looked back. And if you’re already a fan? Take it from us—this bag is exactly what we needed, and is sure to sell out almost immediately. All Cadence products are high-quality innovations intended for everyday use… in other words, an investment that’s near impossible to regret.
