O’Neill goes back to its coastal roots with this Apple Bomb bag, a tote that looks perfect for the beach.
This is no high end tote, but it’s not made to be. The printed cotton canvas is very busy, especially with the patterned double taping shoulder straps. But we all know you can get away with something a little louder when you’re on the sand. However I think O’Neill may have gone a step too far with the gaudy sequined flower accent, which just doesn’t really match the rest of the purse. It seems to add bling for bling’s sake, which will only appeal to the flashiest of fashionistas.
The interior is simple but more functional than the average beach bag. The magnetic snap gives us a bit more security, and the zippered wall pocket offers a convenient place for storing valuables. That’s the only pocket we have, but I don’t mind that too much as beach bags tend to hold more big, bulky items than small bits and pieces.
It probably too showy to carry away from the sea shore, but for an affordable $35.95 I don’t mind the Apple Bomb’s limitations.
