When life’s a beach, it’s time to get a perfect beach bag. One of our favorite summer accessories is the oh-so adorable tote we fill with our sunscreen, towels and ice-cold water (because hydration is key, y’all). But why settle for plain canvas when there are tons of amazing, fashionable bags out there? That’s why we’ve tracked down this season’s best bags for your sunbathing pleasure.
1. Cotton Basket ($80): Let’s start off with this simple printed tote. This puppy is 100% organic cotton, and comes in both scallop and triangle prints.
2. Zara Perforated Tote ($60): Holy cow, we love this bag. And don’t worry about sand disasters, the inner lining will keep those granules out of your sandals.
3. Bold Abstract Geo Tote ($20): Be still our beating heart. We must make this printed Forever 21 tote ours.
4. Riviera Cotton Canvas Oversize Clutch ($438): Worth the splurge for the chic-factor alone, who says a beach bag has to be big enough for your towel?
5. Transparent Tote: You’re sure to see several of these clear bags around the beach this summer. We love the banana accessory. (via Lux + Concord)
