When most of us think of beach bags we tend to imagine brightly colored, easy access totes made of cotton or woven straw. But these handbags are a far cry from the one Diesel displayed in its recent Miami Fashion Week Swim show.
If it’s up to Diesel, we’ll soon be carrying large double handled satchels to the shore. The style doesn’t immediately scream summer to me, but perhaps that’s part of its appeal. Rather than simply packing it away after our beachside vacations we’ll be able to carry a bag like this throughout the year.
The detachable shoulder strap only makes this new Diesel satchel seem more versatile. The neutral color palette is another smart choice. It’ll pop against the vibrant swimwear Diesel offers, but work itself easily into a wardrobe in any season.
Diesel claims the bags are spacious enough to carry a beach towel, change of clothes, sunscreen, magazine, and even an iPad, but I’m still not sure. The satchels seem very structured, so I’m unsure whether they could really hold as much as those soft fabric bags we typically see on the beach.
I guess we’ll find out when Diesel’s swim collection hits stores. Do you think we’re ready for a beach bag revolution?
