Take a little tour with me of our most popular design, SideKYT: the diabetes bag for people looking to edit down their everyday essentials.
The inspiration behind SideKYT:
SideKYT is jam-packed with the insights of hundreds of people with diabetes from around the world. When I first started talking to people about what they wanted from a bag, the first thing that struck me was how many people were looking for a smaller handbag. Like me, they were trying to fit diabetes equipment into a regular handbag (insulin pens, blood glucose meters, insulin cooling pouches, snacks, you know the drill) – but all of their life and medical essentials were getting muddled together. So I decided to separate life and diabetes into two halves, as well as streamline the way diabetes equipment was organised on the inside.
The result is SideKYT: a compact and contemporary way to manage life with diabetes every day; all ethically crafted from premium Italian leather and solid brass hardware and helping to support diabetes charities in need.
Take a full tour of the bag with me in the video above and see if it's the style you've been searching for.

I use my KYT every day and having everything together in one accessible place helps so much. Diabetes decision fatigue can be tough so thank you for making my life easier! I also love the design - it’s stylish, quality, and works perfectly with any outfit :)
Thank you for creating such a beautiful and functional crossbody. We both love what you are doing for our T1D community. KYT has made our fancy outings lovely these days.
I just wanted to provide some feedback to you about the StarterKYT. It is amazing and has really helped me keep all my diabetes “stuff” altogether in a very attractive package. The folding and unfolding mechanism is brilliant as are the magnets to close the ends. I love it. Thanks for designing it.
StarterKYT arrived. Love it!!! So well made. It is amazing quality and well designed. My T1D 20 year old uses it daily. He initially thought he would only use it at weekends but it's so useful and durable on the Jobsite.
I don't know how many handbags I've loved and never bought because they didn't work for my diabetes equipment. But the search is over! I love how this bag offers everything I need for my diabetes stuff, without skimping on the high-quality, chic details I want in a bag. Thank you!
Delighted with my SideKYT. It looks really elegant, is superbly finished and leaves nothing to chance. I now feel super confident I have everything I need to manage my diabetes day to day as well as a stylish bag that has plenty of room for my "life stuff" and matches everything.
Perfect size for all my equipment yet small enough so i can take it with me without any hassle. Quality is amazing and feels really well made. I like that it folds out so i have my own little portable testing station whenever im out and i can easily do it discreetly. Feels quite sturdy too and i don't have to worry so much about breaking insulin vials or pens. Big lifesaver!
