Since I got a taste of 80-degree weather, I’ve been daydreaming about one thing: vacation time. Swapping my work tote for a beach tote and heading somewhere where a fresh tan is guaranteed is all I can think about. Beach bags are essential to summer, just like your swimsuit and SPF. With the perfect bag, you’re all set.

When traveling, a roomier bag is the way to go. It can serve as both your beach tote and personal item alongside your luggage, keeping all vacay essentials organized. Luxury designers have mastered the slouchy, casual, neutral bag. Some noteworthy options on our list this year are Saint Laurent’s Icare Raffia Bag, Prada’s Raffia Tote, and Saint Laurent’s Rive Gauche Raffia Bag. 

For your upcoming Memorial Day weekend, wherever you may be, consider vibrant carry-all options. From Loewe x Paula Ibiza’s Anagram Basket Bag to Miu Miu’s Crochet Book Tote, you will embody the perfect summer vibe.  

The beauty of these beach bags is that they can transition beyond the beach season and become your everyday office bag or grocery tote. Investing in one of these designer bags is worth it if you carry a tote all summer long and because you lend it. Or if you’re looking for that one-time vacay use, you can upgrade to business because you rented the bag instead. Tulerie isn’t ashamed of a girl math summer because, after all, lending and borrowing are worthy investments. 

To help you choose the ideal tote, here’s our curated list of favorites on the Tulerie app. Some are classics, and some are new, but they all have one thing in common: functionality. Select your favorite; trust me, there’s no wrong choice among this selection.
