We all have someone in mind when it comes to who we want to spend our day at the beach with. Someone reliable, trustworthy, and not too chatty. Someone willing to hold our things so we can take a dip in the ocean, and preferably someone with great style. Picturing that special someone? Me too. Larry. More specifically, my Larry Beach Bag from Rouje Paris. Looking to invest in a reliable bag (or two) of your own? Below is a list of trendy tote bags in canvas, crochet, and more that will never let you down in style or functionality this back-to-school season.
