Collection: Beach bags

Bags have amassed an incessant ‘I need that’ reaction from women over the years. What kicked off as a functional accessory to carry things around, has now turned into an object of desire that is giving diamonds a run for it’s money.

Our feeds have been an overdose of vacationers on beaches everywhere. But the protagonist in these posts is none other than the supple, supersized straw or canvas tote bag. Totes double up as your home away from home, holding all of your summer essentials. Planning an exit to Sri Lanka or Maldives? These bags can carry you through your plans.

The Evolution of Modern Designer Beach Bags

They say behind every successful woman is a painstakingly organized handbag. Meticulously curated to fit all her essentials, a woman’s handbag has come a long way from a utilitarian sack to the architectural, ergonomic pieces that they carry around today with absolute style. Traces of hand-held carryalls can be found back to the Stone Age, but the buzz around designer bags was created by Louis Vuitton. With the inception of train travel, luggage from Louis Vuitton became an absolute must have for the crème de la crème of the early Nineteen hundreds.

Fashion is far more than just aesthetics and fanfare-it is a reflection of the zeitgeist. As women started entering the work force, they carried large handbags like the Boulevard Bag or even briefcases to hold all their daily essentials. The handbag survived and adapted to everything- war in the 1940s, the rise of the bohemian subculture in the ‘60s, the disco era of the ‘70s and ‘80s. In 1981, as Jane Birkin struggled to fit her belongings in the straw tote bag that she was carrying, the future of the ‘It’ bag was being paved. The Hermès CEO who was sitting next to her on the flight named the iconic Birkin bag after her. The Hermès Birkin is a socialite approved compartmentalized bag that has since gained a cult status owing to the exclusive buzz that has been spun around it.
