Article content For the last few seasons, designer wicker totes and raffia beach bags have given new meaning to the term 'beach to boardwalk'. Indeed, styles that move effortlessly from sand to city are key to ensuring your summer includes as many beach visits as possible, without sacrificing any of the essentials: SPF, a good read, a snack or two and the all-important sunnies. Rebecca Tay presents five beach bags that prove that practicality and polish can go hand in hand. Article content Article content Toronto-based stylist, influencer and on-air fashion expert Toni Fifi — @tonififi — has created a limited-edition collection with Canadian brand Reitmans, and we're loving the printed, bold pieces, as well as this straw tote. Not too big, not too small, the all-black, adjustable straps and hardware give it a streamlined, sleek look that's perfect for days out and dinner alike. Article content We've all seen a striped summer tote before, but this one feels slightly different as it merges a market bag and a beach bag to feel suitable for, well, both. With a large compartment that will fit everything from your fresh produce to magazines and a sarong, it's a chic, Hamptons-inspired take on a style that will definitely see you through the season — and beyond. Article content True to its B.C. roots, Herschel knows that a Canadian summer is just as likely to include trips to the cabin, complete with a ferry ride and pebble beach walk, as it is days on the sand. Enter this All Season Gear Tote, which comes in two sizes: 63L and 33L. Part of the brand's Outdoor Equipment performance line, it's made from custom All Season fabric, has a double-layer base and nylon handles for sturdiness and durability, and a roomy main compartment for wine, extra clothing, swimming flippers, a portable speaker and more — basically everything you need for a great summer's day out. Article content Article content Article content Is there anything more iconic than a printed canvas tote? Sure, we'd all love to find a good vintage one at a charity shop, but barring that, there's this SENN House Beach Club version by Oak and Fort. Laid-back and cool, it has double shoulder straps for comfort and strength and a structured base for extra stability, meaning you can stuff it to overflowing and it won't — or at least it shouldn't — tip over. Article content Founded 25 years ago in Madagascar by three sisters, Sans-Arcidet Paris is a relatively under-the-radar brand known for its elegance and craftsmanship. Case in point: this oversized, braided raffia bag, which features drawstring cords that knot at the bottoms and tie-dyed fastenings for a sense of modernity. Wear with cropped trousers for weekend errands, with a bikini at the beach, and with a black dress for an evening out. Article content Article content
