Have you ever packed for a beach day and found that your bag is as valuable as all your beach items? A good beach bag should be able to store all your essentials and be spacious, functional and fashionable to match your summer attire. Sunscreen, sunglasses, books, towels and other beach pieces all require a space that doesn't feel bulky or disorganized.
There are no single plans on summer days. In the morning you might pick up a coffee, in the day you will be exploring the city, and at night you could be at the beach or lying by the pool. That's why a good tote is so important, it should carry you throughout the day, from one place to another, and feel light, easy, and comfortable to carry.
As soon as I saw the Vitamin A raffia bag collection, I knew that it is a collection of pieces that I could easily do in the summer. Each piece is inspired by the same carefree vibe of summer and uses natural textures and clean shapes that are functional in both informal and travel settings. The designs look functional and fashionable, which makes them versatile to wear with various outfits.
