Behold, 23 Basket Bags That Are Anti-Trend, Polished and Perfect for Summer
You know a great beach bag when you see it. They sit in that sweet spot between a Mary Poppins bag and your chicest summertime bag. The best beach bags are deceivingly large, allowing us to carry everything we might want for our oceanside tanning session without overtaking our entire frame. We love a slouchy carryall as much as a more structured tote bag and prefer not to pick favorites between coated canvas, raffia, and woven cotton. While larger bags certainly have to be more durable, we also love a mini basket for short beach trips that don't require quite as many provisions.
The bag selection below will take you from the water's edge to your summertime brunch. We've found structured wicker styles, slouchy woven bucket bags, and even totes that can take a beating. Shop the best beach bags just in time for summer below.

Loewe is leading the designer charge when it comes to chic raffia totes this summer. Be warned, this one is selling out fast.
This versatile basket bag comes in a variety of different leather trim colours.
Yep, another Loewe style to add to the never-ending wish list.
By now you'll know just how much editors and fashion people love Alaïa bags.

Love the shape of the square shape of this one.
Loewe's collaboration with Paula's Ibiza just keeps getting better and better, and this has to be a favorite thus far. The multicolored raffia panels are a unique design point, and the bag itself has plenty of room to hold a beach towel, water bottle, and everything else you'll need for a perfect summer day.
Such an easy shopping or running errands style.
This eco-conscious brand has crafted this tote from 100% paper straw.
Chloe tote's are the ultimate quiet luxury summer bag.
