Beach Bags

Beach Bags include roomy handmade carriers designed for towels, swimwear, sunscreen, books and everyday essentials. Common materials range from cotton canvas, linen and recycled textiles to jute, raffia and woven straw. Makers may use sewing, crochet, macramé, hand weaving or basketry techniques, sometimes adding a lined interior to keep fibres away from delicate belongings. The chosen construction affects weight, flexibility and how well the bag keeps its shape.

An open tote offers quick access and generous capacity, while a zipped top helps limit sand entering the main compartment. Designs with inner pockets, key loops or separate sections can make it easier to organise a phone, wallet and damp swimsuit. Before choosing, compare the opening width, base depth and handle drop rather than relying on height alone. Broad straps are usually more comfortable for heavier loads, and short handles suit people who prefer carrying a bag by hand.

When comparing Beach Bags, consider where the piece will be used after the holiday. Foldable fabric styles can work for shopping or travel, whereas structured straw designs may be better for lighter contents. Canvas and washable linings should be cleaned according to the maker’s instructions; raffia, jute and straw are generally best spot-cleaned with a soft, barely damp cloth. Empty out sand after use, avoid storing wet garments inside and let the bag dry in the shade. Small variations in colour, size and texture are a natural feature of handmade work.
