The summer days are really getting closer. The summer holidays are all about sand, beach dresses, sandals and tan but what about the beach bag? Summer is definitely the time to reinvent ourselves in the bag department where we can take out our big bags. However, we all know the amount of stuffs we need to pack for the beach especially if you carry everything for your family.

This is the reason why every elegant woman need a good chic beach bag she can carry all summer and look elegant. There are many great looking designer beach bags out there but you don’t need a big budget to afford an amazing beach bag. I believe the investment of the bag will also depend of the use you will make of it. Ask yourself: How many days will I use it? Am I going o wear it only for the beach or also on a daily basis?

Depending on these two answers you might consider the budget you want to allocate it. Then, you might also need to consider the shape of the bag as they come in many variations. The most common beach bag is the raffia bag but there are also some baskets bags or either large bags in linen and way less rigid.

1. The Raffia Bag

Raffia bags are by excellence the most common beach bag. Even if Loewe is really known for their popular Raffia bag, you can really find expensive looking raffia bag on a budget. The one I am wearing was found in a little shop in Italy and is really made of high quality. So definitely invest in raffia bags you find in Italian shops because they have high quality rafia bags. I will attach below a similar version of it. Below I attached Palorosa beach bags. Palorosa is an Italian brand that design amazing and chic raffia bag. While they come in many different size and colours, these are also easy to carry with their longer straps.

They also design nice raffia pockets that you can add within the beach bag to carry all your values.

2. The Basket Bag

Basket bags are also really chic summer bags that can be used either for the day and for the beach. They are wide enough bags with a more rigid shape that can contain all your summer essentials.

3. The Large Linen Bag

This third option is all about bags that are not rigid and that by filling it you give a shape to the bag. The one here is from Vanessa Bruno which is a brand I love for their versatile and practical bag as you can fill it easily with all your essentials. It is also a good option because linen bag can be hand washed and it comes in a lot of colour variations with a little of sparkle. It is a really feminine bag.

You will find here all the beach bags in this post and you can retrieve them by clicking on them. You can find my beach look in this post on beach clothes.

I hope this will help you find out your summer beach bag. Let me know which one is your favorite.
