The Beach Mesh Tote

It's a great very spacious tote and yes, I'm taking 1 star off due to the terrible smell which DID NOT want to air out and dryer sheets did not help it either. I actually had to hand wash this bag in good laundry detergent to get the smell out completely and now it's great. It was very easy to do since it's mesh and dries fast. You definitely don't want any smells from the summer bag which spends a lot of time in your hot car lol. Other than that, it's a great bag and I've been using it all summer. I only wish it had a drop in zipper on top so it could double as a beach destination carry on personal item bag. It does have a luggage sleeve to place it on top of a suitcase, but sadly without any top closure it won't make a very secure bag for valuables to take on the plane unless you use a bunch of pouches inside it and maybe throw some towels or jacket on top. I think the zipper would have made it even more versatile but as is it works well for beach and grocery shopping.

I wouldn’t normally spend so much on a beach/pool bag but I love this one! Mine did not have a smell like other reviews mentioned and I have used it numerous times for the pool with my wok. It had excellent pockets and I can fit a pool swim vest, multiple towels, sunblock, extra clothes water bottles and snacks and know where everything is. Love the brown color too! Very light and easy to carry even when full. I plan to use it as a carry on bag too.
