Beach Bags That Will Make A Statement This Summer (PHOTOS)

Statement-Making Beach Bags

The beach bag is having its moment and we couldn’t be happier about this!

During the summer, we sometimes forget that our swimwear deserves to rest in a chic tote, and although it's cool to use whatever kind of bag you want, we think your suits deserve a little TLC in the form of a fashionable (yet functional) beach bag.

July and August are prime time for lots of beach bumming so we hope you’ve found a hefty beach bag already. If not, you’re going to want to look for one that’s durable and large enough to tote around a towel, sunglasses, water bottle, sun screen and a few munchies. Cute factor is key as well. (Here's a reminder: if you spend a lot of time looking for a stylish swimsuit, you should do the same for your beach bags.)

Hit the sand this summer with these covetable beach bags we dug up just for you.
