Two bags are called for any summer trip, one of them being a casual beach bag. Beach bags should be big enough to fit all your essentials, including your towel, sunscreen (lots of it!), water, snacks and all the rest of it. A big trend for this summer is the use of natural materials for accessories and this beach bag is everything you’re looking for. Having both a short handle and a long strap makes it easier to carry and the tapered shape of the bag adds to its style, and so to yours!
