From early-morning swimming lessons to PE days and after-school activities, Mrs. Peacock by Trixie is a roomy children’s sports bag designed to keep everything for an active day together. Made from 100% recycled cotton with a water-repellent finish, it offers space for clothes, shoes and everyday sports essentials, plus a separate zipped side compartment for wet items. Short carry handles and a detachable shoulder strap give children two easy ways to carry it, while the playful lilac peacock design makes the practical part rather lovely too.

Made for Active Days
Swimming lessons have a particular talent for generating things.
There is the swimsuit, towel, change of clothes, shoes, perhaps goggles—and inevitably something that comes home slightly wetter than expected.
Mrs. Peacock is designed around exactly that kind of routine. The roomy main compartment provides space for clothes and footwear, while a separate zipped side pocket is specifically intended for wet items, helping keep them apart from the rest of the bag.
That makes the bag useful well beyond the swimming pool. It can move between PE lessons, dance classes, sports clubs, sleepovers and weekend activities without requiring a different bag for every occasion.
A Separate Place for Wet Things
This is the feature that really distinguishes Mrs. Peacock from a standard children’s holdall.
One side of the bag contains an independent zipped compartment. Trixie explicitly describes it as a place for wet items, making it especially practical after swimming or other activities where damp clothing needs to travel home.
The exterior images show that compartment integrated neatly into the side of the bag rather than taking over the main storage area.
Carry It Their Way
Not every child wants to carry a sports bag in the same way.
Mrs. Peacock has two short top handles for carrying by hand and a detachable shoulder strap for wearing over the shoulder. The shoulder strap is also adjustable in the product imagery, allowing the carrying length to be adapted.
For younger children, that flexibility is useful: adults can carry the bag when necessary, while children can gradually take responsibility for it themselves when the load and situation are appropriate.
A Spacious Main Compartment
The top of the sports bag opens widely to reveal one large lined compartment.
Trixie describes the interior as offering plenty of space for clothes, shoes and more, while the product image confirms a simple, uncluttered layout that makes the contents easy to see. An internal name label is positioned inside the bag to help identify it at school, the swimming pool or sports club.
For children, simple storage can often be more practical than lots of small compartments: open the bag, see what is inside, take out what is needed and pack it again afterwards.
Water-Repellent, Not Waterproof
The outer fabric has a water-repellent acrylic coating.
That wording matters. The coating is useful for the sort of splashes and damp conditions a children’s sports bag encounters during normal use, but water-repellent should not be rewritten as waterproof.
Trixie’s general guidance for its acrylic-coated bags likewise distinguishes everyday water repellency from full waterproofing or submersion.
Thoughtful Recycled Materials
The material specification is refreshingly clear:
- Outer fabric: 100% recycled cotton
- Lining: 100% recycled polyester
- Filling: PE foam
-
Finish: water-repellent acrylic coating
The recycled textile content gives the bag a more considered material profile, while the PE foam helps provide structure to the soft holdall shape.
Meet Mrs. Peacock
The dusty lilac bag is decorated with small ivory marks and a large peacock appliqué across the front.
Mrs. Peacock’s face sits at the centre, framed by pale pink wings with deeper purple feather details and a little three-dimensional crown above her head. The palette is playful without relying on loud primary colours, giving the sports bag a distinctive character while remaining easy to pair with everyday school and activity clothes.
Trixie also offers other coordinating Mrs. Peacock accessories, and the product photography shows the sports bag beside a matching bottle.

A Bag That Can Move Between Activities
Children’s schedules have a way of changing faster than their equipment.
Monday might mean swimming. Wednesday might be gymnastics. The weekend could involve grandparents, a sleepover or simply carrying spare clothes for a full day out.
A simple sports bag with generous storage and a separate wet compartment can move between all of those situations without becoming overly specialised.
That versatility is one of Mrs. Peacock’s strongest qualities: the character makes it fun for children, while the format stays decidedly practical.
A Useful Gift for Their Next Activity
Starting swimming lessons or joining a first sports class is a small childhood milestone—and having a proper bag for it can make the occasion feel surprisingly important.
Mrs. Peacock makes a thoughtful practical gift for children beginning those routines. It offers enough personality to make opening the present exciting, but its real value starts afterwards, when it becomes part of the weekly rhythm.
Important Note
Trixie officially recommends the Mrs. Peacock Kids’ Gym Bag from 3 years+ and specifies dimensions of 42 × 20 × 24 cm.
No capacity in litres or product weight is stated by Trixie or in the current Gravitaly listing, so I would leave both metafields blank rather than estimate them.
The product has a water-repellent acrylic coating, not a fully waterproof construction.
Safety & Care Information
- Manufacturer age recommendation: 3 years+
- Check the detachable strap, handles, zips and seams periodically for wear
- Adjust the shoulder strap to a comfortable carrying length
- Avoid overloading the bag for the individual child
- Water-repellent rather than fully waterproof
- No product-specific safety testing standard or certification is stated on the current product listing
- Trixie does not provide dedicated cleaning instructions for this exact gym bag on the product page
- Follow the care label supplied with the physical product
- For acrylic-coated Trixie bags generally, spot cleaning is the gentler approach because frequent washing can gradually reduce water repellency
Ready, Set, Go
Pack the trainers, add the towel and change of clothes, tuck wet things into their own compartment—and let Mrs. Peacock come along for the next swimming lesson, sports day or after-school adventure.
