How to Choose a Beach & Vacation Bag

A beach or resort bag should feel easy to carry, easy to pack, and visually at home in a warm-weather setting.

Raffia, woven materials, terry, canvas and lightweight leather all create different levels of structure, texture and durability, while softer bags are often easier to fit into luggage.

Color and design should work across swimwear, daytime resort looks and casual evening outfits so the bag earns its space in your suitcase.

Capacity, closure, strap options and how well the bag holds its shape while traveling also make a meaningful difference.
