The beach is leather's enemy — sand and salt ruin it. Here is the shore-proof carry.
Skip Leather, Pick Fabric
A fabric tote shakes sand out and survives salt spray. The totes in canvas or woven are the beach pick.
Open and Wipeable
An open woven tote holds towel, book, and sunscreen, and rinses clean. The totes in fabric beat leather at the shore.
The Rule
Pro tip: never take good leather to the beach — salt and sand score it permanently. A fabric tote is the only smart shore bag.
Shop the beach-ready totes.
