During the weeks leading up to summer, I filled my wardrobe with breezy sundresses, flattering swimsuits, and versatile sandals. The one thing I forgot? A beach bag. And now that the warm weather season is officially here and days by the water are close behind, I’ll need a cute and convenient tote to carry all my snacks and supplies. Unsurprisingly, Amazon has thousands of beach bags to choose from, but this woven tote that’s on sale for $20 is the one that earned a spot in my cart. 

Available in two neutral colors, the handwoven bag has faux leather handles, a removable tassel with colorful poms, and a striped lining that peeks out along the top. The best part, though, is that the main compartment has a zippered closure, and there are both zippered and slip pockets inside. Not only will the bag keep your essentials organized, but you also won’t have to worry about anything falling out as you walk along the beach or rest your bag on the sand and take a dip.

In addition to using the bag at the beach or by the pool, you can also carry it as an everyday summer purse. We already know that crochet fashion is a major trend this season, and this straw tote looks similar to the knit clothes and accessories taking over Amazon’s best-sellers charts. I plan to wear the bag with flowy dresses and matching neutral sandals for park picnics and weekend brunches all summer long. 

For insight into how the bag feels and holds up, I turned to its Amazon reviews section — and let’s just say, I was not disappointed. One shopper loves “everything about this bag,” since it’s the “perfect size for the beach, the quality is great, and it’s foldable, which makes it fantastic for traveling” — a huge bonus if you have any trips coming up. Another person said it “looks expensive” despite its $20 price tag, and a third shopper agreed, saying “you cannot beat this price for an adorable, sturdy, and stylish summer bag.” Plus, another person confirmed the straw has a “soft feel that doesn’t snag clothing or scratch arms.”

Other shoppers couldn’t believe how much they could fit inside the bag without it feeling too bulky. “It’s very roomy inside,” a reviewer commented, while another shopper said “nothing seems to get lost” in the tote, thanks to its organized pockets. And, according to a third person, it’s “not huge, but big enough for a solo trip to the beach with one towel, a bottle of water, and essentials.” That sounds like everything I need. 

I don’t know about you, but I’m pressing “buy” on the Caissip straw tote bag while it’s still on sale for $20 at Amazon. Catch me at the beach in style all summer long.
