You could take your things to the beach in a simple reusable shopping bag or the iconic New Yorker tote, but that doesn’t mean you should. Why not go for something more stylish instead? The season’s beach bags are the stuff of sartorial dreams, and resort wear and summer designs have officially entered our internet shopping baskets. If you weren’t planning on replenishing your bag collection, reconsider. Here are 23 of the chicest beach bags to carry your belongings—wherever this summer takes you—from fisherman’s totes and sand-proof materials to designer collections and colorful patterns.
