It’s safe to say that larger-than-life beach bags are lingering in the trend cycle for a while, as Bottega Veneta, Ralph Lauren, and Proenza Schouler all featured a medley of options in their summer 2025 handbag offerings. Luxury designers in particular, from Loewe to Saint Laurent, seem to have a penchant for the raffia tote, putting their own spin (and often, logo) on the classic basket bag. Chloé featured a rubber, waterproof version this season, while The Row proposed its own version of the multicolor mesh market tote you might pick up on vacation in Mexico City.
Even contemporary brands can be found taking a dip into this playful pool—Lié Studio and Dragon Diffusion’s renditions bridge the gap between city streets and sea shore, while Staud’s striped tote embodies that festive summer feeling. Plus, you can never go wrong with a classic canvas options like those from L.L.Bean or Rue de Verneuil. Each is distinct, yet they all agree on one thing: ample space is essential to fit your sunscreen, water bottle, beach read, and a heap of snacks, without a worry.
