Right about now, as March ushers in the new season, the spring/summer 2022 collections are likely hitting the stores. This means new clothes, new accessories, and of course, new bags! And for your spring and summer travels, you'll want to get your hands on the latest it-bags, particularly those that work well on the beach. Remember that not all designer bags, no matter how high-quality they are, work well in a coastal setting where the sand, sea, and salty air mix. There are those that are perfect for such an environment, not to mention superbly chic one very way!
Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Logo Canvas Tote
Saint Laurent's Rive Gauche is the best label to wear in the French Riviera. When you're lounging by the sea in
St. Tropez or strolling along the coast of
Cannes, this iconic ready-to-wear line will dress you perfectly. Just take a look at the Logo Canvas Tote for spring/summer 2022. Whether you go for the classic black and white or chic neutral color scheme, the simplicity of the bag makes it oh so appealing. And yes, while it screams that it's a designer bag, it's not that tacky to look at. It's crisp, clean, and current!

Celine Towel Carrier
Speaking of Logomania, for a designer label like Celine, especially with a creative director like Hedi Slimane, a towel carrier is enough to spark the envy of everyone around you. Imagine only bringing this logo-ed towel carrier when you go to the beach on your free
day in St. Tropez. Many will likely see you as tacky and too label-conscious, but that's the humor of it. Just having the logo front and center, especially on something as seemingly unnecessary as a towel carrier, makes you look flashy and over-the-type. But in truth, the simplicity of the design champion's the brand's signature minimalism.

Or the fact that the canvas material is durable enough to withstand the sand and the sea? Or maybe it's because its great shape allows you to bring as many items as possible. It's likely that all of these and more are the reasons why this iconic tote bag from the hottest famous
American designer remains a go-to accessory for traveling.

You can always trust Loewe to produce high-quality bags no matter where they're for, even when it's for the beach.

Longchamp Le Pliage Filet Knit Shoulder Bag
Longchamp's Le Pliage Filet Knit Shoulder Bag is the kind of summer-ready accessory you can expect many jet-setters to sport when they travel to the world's most paradisical destinations. And since it's Longchamp, you don't have to question its style or quality—you already know they're amazing! With that said, however, it's highly likely beachgoers will face a few problems when they take this out to the beach. Firstly, because of its design, sand can easily creep up inside. It's practically a given! Also, unlike the other bags on this list, this purse looks strictly for summer. In other words, it's not as versatile season-wise. The bag is hardly fitting nor trendy for autumn or winter, that's for sure!
