They’re back. From canvas to straw and with the occasional pom-pom, totes are all around us. But not all totes are created equal, so before you head to the beach with the same old bag from last year, be sure to check out these shops around town to pick up your new favorite spring break accessory.
J. Crew
Leave it to the Crew to come through with the ultimate tote. Nautical stripes? Check. Woven sisal? Check. Pom-poms? Check, check, and check.
Ten Over Six
We’d take pretty much any excuse to head to this L.A.-based shop, but the Big Sur by Pacific Totes provides a chic and functional one (a solid combination).
Milk & Honey
Milk & Honey proves once again why it’s the go-to store for chic shoppers on a budget. You can pick up this adorable, vacation-ready shoulder bag for only $54.
*Stationed in Uptown? Rio Ritz carries the same bag for the same price.
Nest Dallas
Stand out from the spring break masses with this head-turning Amy Winehouse tote made from recycled coffee bags and vibrant yarn. Bonus points for choosing a bag that helps empower women and marginalized communities.
St. Bernard Sports
If your goal is to feel foxy and fresh on your beach trip (a commendable goal), then this reversible Wildfox tote found at St. Bernard Sports was made to help you achieve it.
Cabana Boutique
Take one step past the purple threshold of Merry Vose’s West Lovers Lane shop, and you’ll find yourself in bohemian beach bungalow heaven. And since no boho beach heaven would be complete without the perfect tote, we scouted some adorable plastic bags by Matta in colors like white, pink and green for only $66.
