This summer, the humble beach bag is set to become a wear-anywhere cult buy. Fashion’s enduring celebration of artisanal crafts and all things homespun has seen brands like Loewe and Marni turn the traditional basket bag from holiday market purchases to desirable investment pieces. Other brands are working directly with artisans to celebrate their crafts and create one-off homemade bags. To make the most of the moment, choose a beach bag that will bring a dose of summer to city staples. When the time comes, it should provide the perfect vessel for your holiday essentials, effortlessly transitioning from airport security to the beach.
