Beach Bags

I normally use an old Anya Hindmarch dust bag as my beach bag, but after my recent holiday I thought I should up my game. My perfect beach bag would be roomy enough for all my beach essentials (book, towels, sunglasses, lotions and potions), include a couple of pockets and come in a simple design such as stripes or chevrons.

Even though the shops are beginning to fill up with Autumn fashions there are still some great styles available, with some of my favourite picks on sale!


Boden £19.60

This pink stripe bargain from Boden has long leather straps and comes in 3 different colour-ways.

Etsy £81.77
This linen tote would work well long after the sun has disappeared as a gym or weekend bag.

H&M £14.99
I spied the plain version of this in H&M home. It's not a bag, but a storage basket, however it would make a cheap and cheerful accessory to carry all your beach items.

Heidi Klein £250
Heidi Klein, the queen of everything beach related, has created this chic beach tote. I particularly like the sporty white stripe and rope handle. This is a classic style to invest in and use year after year.

Labour & Wait £20
This beach bag from one of my favourite stores, Labour & Wait, was the one I purchased for my next holiday. I love the traditional design, leather handles and roominess of this basket. And what a fantastic price point!

Mango £19.99
Another bag that's in the sale so make sure you snap it up before it sells out.


Topshop £25
I love the yellow pom pom detail on this bag and while I wish the handles were real leather, it's a cute style at an affordable price.
