The Dream Duffel is a rolling case that can transport all of your child's costumes, accessories, shoes, hats, make-up, etc. It is sturdy, and comes in 3 convenient sizes, according to how many costumes your dancer has. Psst....It isn't only for dancers - it works for skaters, cheerleaders, drama, show choir, etc. Any club where you have to transport multiple costumes and accessories and don't want to deal with multiple bags.
Case in point - my son is in 3 competition dances. Before I purchased the Dream Duffel last year, We had a garment bag, a hat box, a rolling backpack, cooler, blanket, pillow and pop up changing room. All of this carried into every venue. Let's just say, it got a little heavy.
I bought this little gem last year:
A medium sized silver edition dream duffel. It is more rugged looking for the boy dancers and doesn't have the pink logo. I could fit my son inside this thing. It carries his hat box (for his cowboy hat), 3 costumes, 2 sets of shoes, an accessory box (with safety pins, bobby pins, rhinestones, glue, hairspray, Tylenol), his folded down pop up tent for changing, a small pillow, blanket, lucky stuffed wolf, and it still has room for more. I have not yet filled this thing to capacity.
What makes this thing worth the price (other than its ability to store all my son's costume needs?). It has a fold down rack so I can hang his costumes!
The left side outer pocket is a thermal cooler, perfect for a yogurt or cold bottle of water. The right side outer pocket can hold simple extras - like his Maui Wowi cup, napkins, fruit snacks.
It comes with a patch that you can personalize with your child's name or studio (or anything else you wish to call it). It has heavy duty wheels that can go over any curb, curve, stair you might need to navigate around.
The thing that sold me on buying a Dream Duffel is the story behind it. Dream Duffel, LLC, is a Minnesota based company founded by two dance moms, who's own experiences with trying to manage multiple bags and lead them to see that there was another way. An easier way. Their staff is built around former dance parents, competition dancers and dance teachers. They continually add to and improve their product. They boast a pet friendly work environment. If you stop by their Plymouth headquarters, you will see dogs of all shapes and sizes lounging around by desks and offices. Their friendly staff responds quickly to emails and phone calls.
Dream Duffel has be featured on Dance Moms and recently partnered with Dancing with the Stars to help the dancers keep track of all their costume changes. The Dream Duffel is sold by retailers worldwide. Yes, worldwide. You can find their product in dance stores, dance studios, dance retailers. Or you can purchase online. Their website is easy to navigate.
Accessories. Can I tell you about the accessories? Not only can you personalize your child's Dream Duffel, but they sell kits to do so. They have folding stools that can fit in a specially designed pocket on the side. They have garment bags with little pockets for accessories (I highly recommend these). Light up make-up stands. Cosmetic Cases. Hangers. Anything and everything you can think of you will need and more.
If I were to grade the Dream Duffel, I would give it an A. Love, love, love my Dream Duffel. And so do the rest of their customers. Check out their Facebook page (www.facebook.com/dreamduffel) to see all the pictures of the dancers with their duffels.
