What’s In Our Festival Bag? Essentials for Surviving & Slaying This Season

Posted by Kritter Klips on

Festival Season Has Arrived

Whether you’re heading into the dust of the desert or dancing under neon skies, your festival bag is your lifeline—and your style moment. You’ve got limited space, major plans, and zero time for outfit malfunctions or sunburn surprises.

So let’s pack smart, slay hard, and make your bag a walking vibe!

1. KritterKlips, Of Course

KritterKlips are the accessory essential to elevate any outfit in literal seconds. Just snap them into place, and you are good to go all night long. Lightweight and all handmade with love for you, every bag should have some of these guys in it (not like we're biased). 

Wanna play it Natural or in the mood for a pop of Colorful? We got you covered!

2. Statement Sunglasses

Our eyes deserve a break and a moment. We tend to go for oversized frames, mirrored lenses, tinted shields, or ones with elaborate frames and dripping in jewels like those that can be found at our friend's shop linked below, you know, the ones that pair perfectly with one of our Pierced sets of ears. Take an essential piece and turn it into the perfect accessory that doubles as sun protection and outfit elevation.

Shop: Spunglasses

3. Iconic Clack Fan

Heat? Not in your energy. You know we have one of our Clack Fans resting in its pretty little Fan Holster home when even it needs a break. Our collapsible hand fans keep your glow nice and dewy—not sweaty.

Pro Tip: If you didn't know, we do have holsters that can house your fan also and clip into your belt loop for hands-free flair that is easily accessible when you need it, because we got you, always.

4. A Breathable Bandana

Sun coverage that doesn’t crush our hair? We love to see it. We like to roll up a lightweight and flexible bandana for moments when we need shade and style. Browse the selection available at our sister company's amazing selection of original hand-drawn artwork!

Shop: Liquid Dreams Bandanas

5. Phone (With a Wrist Strap or Crossbody Case)

We gots to have our phone! We want our phone for photos, friends, and those late-night “Where are you??” texts. Secured it with a stylish wristlet or crossbody chain case so we never miss a beat (or drop).

6. Reusable Water Bottle (with Clip!)

Hydration is the ultimate accessory. We tend to choose a lightweight, collapsible, or carabiner-clippable bottle.

Facts: Your skin and stamina will thank you.

7. Mini SPF + Lip Balm

Tiny but mighty. We go for stick SPF and balms with tint, shimmer, or built-in gloss. Festival sun is no joke, but the look doesn’t have to suffer.

8. Emergency Kit: Fashion Edition

Safety pins, bobby pins, mini hair ties, double-sided fashion tape, and a compact mirror = festival survival kit. Toss it in a pouch and thank us later.

9. Mini First Aid Kit / Safety Essentials

Crowds, heat, random blisters from cute-but-cruel boots—it happens. Keep a compact first aid pouch for peace of mind. Think:

  • Band-aids
  • Blister pads
  • Electrolyte packets
  • Mini pain reliever
  • Hand sanitizer
  • Wipes
  • Earplugs
  • Emergency Friend Pair of KritterKlips (if lacking accessories) 

Pro Move: Choose a waterproof pouch with a clip so you can hook it inside your bag or belt for easy access at a moment's notice.

Bonus Tip: Add a contact card in case your phone dies or gets lost. Old-school, but lifesaver-level genius.

Final Thoughts: Pack With Purpose, Party With Confidence

Your festival bag doesn’t just carry stuff—it carries you through the entire experience. With the right mix of style, utility, and sparkle, you're ready for anything the fest throws your way. And yes, you're gonna look absolutely legendary doing it.

Hope our bag gives you inspo to get ready for your next festival! 

Got ideas to add? We would love to hear them! Sharing is caring in the world of festival bad essentials, you know 😉
