18 Stylish and Sturdy Bags You Can Take From the Airport to the Beach
What does this look like in reality? Depending on your personal style and destination of choice, you could go in a more classic direction and select a chic blue-and-white embroidered tote that you can take straight from the airport to the beach.
Or you can channel your inner hippie by opting for a boho bag in vibrant colors with accents such as tassels and pom-poms to match your fun personality. And if you are heading on a road trip and plan to explore a variety of small towns and beaches, then pick up a sturdy, medium-sized backpack in an exotic floral print — it looks cool and will keep your belongings safe.
