This woven straw tote is worth the splurge for its timelessness alone (and, you know, its ability to fit all of the essentials and then some).

Currently requesting this denim bucket bag as a birthday present—not only for its ability to fit my 15-inch laptop during the weekdays, but also because I can schlep a towel, change of clothes, speaker, and sunscreen in it, and still have plenty of room for a pair of shoes.
