Hermosa Beach Bag

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Influenster and Beach State in exchange for my honest review. With summer approaching, this tote has me daydreaming about picnics on the beach. For anyone else that loves a ludicrously capacious bag, I can fit my swimsuit, two beach towels, sunscreen, sunglasses, and all of my necessities in this one. There are holes on both sides of the zipper so you can let your towels poke out for more packing space. You can also snap in a towel with the carrying straps at the top, or strap it in the front and make room on the inside. It’s versatile! There are a few different ways to carry this bag, but I see myself using it as backpack the most. The leather straps are soft and comfortable to wear, and the smallest hole is already the right length for me, but you can adjust it to be even longer. The interior is nicely lined with cotton and leather detailing, and I love the sturdy construction and zigzag weave of the natural palma. This tote is practical, stylish, and perfect for carrying everything I need on beach adventures.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bag is great for picnics and the beach. It has about enough volume to fit a bottle of wine or Hydroflask type water bottle, some snacks or small meals and a towel; and there is a top zipper that will keep all the contents secure in the bag. The craftsmanship and detailing on this bag is also really nice. It definitely gives beach picnic vibes and I love the look and feel of the straps which are comfortable to use. There are also backpack straps if you have a heavier load or need to be hands free which is a great feature. The basket weave material exterior, although it looks chic, I'm a little unsure of lasting for years and years of use without cracking but maybe this is of a little higher quality? The other thing is that this tote is listed as a cooler bag but doesn't seem to contain any significant amount of insulation so I wouldn't expect this to keep drinks and food cold for hours like a normal insulated tote would. I personally would prefer a more robust insulated tote that can keep drinks and ice cold for hours but this bag is serviceable and definitely has a cute look.
