IT'S IN THE BAG
WHATEVER YOUR STYLE, THERE'S A BAG THAT'S PERFECT FOR TOTING ALL OF YOUR
WARM-WEATHER ESSENTIALS
 |
If you’re a preppy mama: Tote the Pink Canvas Mini Tote from Koo Koo Bear Kids, a colorful cotton tote with spill-protecting nylon lining, three inside pockets and a zipper closure. ($20, $8 additional for a single-letter monogramming, www.kookoobearkids.com) |
|
| If you’re a mod mama: Stash your stuff in Fleurville‘s limited edition Beach Bag, a durable, tulip-shaped tote that’s water and UV-resistant. We love the Earthy yellow seedpod pattern. ($60, www.fleurville.com) |
 |

 |
If you’re a bargain-hunting mama: Spruce up your look with this basket bag from award-winning New York Designer Rafe Totengco for Target. Its sturdy straw base features a band of floral trim and a funky rope handle, while metal studs and buckle finish the look. ($39.99, www.target.com) |
|
| If you’re a multi-tasking mama: Check out Ann Veronica’s Higgins Beach Bag, which ideal for the beach, yet so roomy it can be used in the off-season as an overnight carryall or travel bag. ($89, www.annveronica.com) |

If you’re a nostalgic mama: Pay homage to 80s TV hit Mork and Mindy with this tote bag from Jerome Gruet Paris. Made from sporty fabric reminiscent of basketball jerseys (but with more structure), it’s playful and chic—especially its bright rainbow handles, that look just like Mork’s suspenders. ($225, www.scoopnyc.com) |
|
| If you’re a bohemian mama: Toss your beach essentials into this cotton macramé tote from Anthropologie, which though seemingly small, provides ample storage space. We love its decorative little raffia ornament—so quaint! ($128, www.anthropologie.com) |

If you’re a low-maintenance mama: Who needs all sorts of bells and whistles? Echo’s reasonably-priced Terry Beach Bag will hold all of your gear and is made of easily-washable terrycloth. ($35, www.shopintuition.com) |
