With the season of summer there’s always a reason to carry a tote, whether it’s to the beach or out shopping with friends. I’ve always loved a great summer bag and even straw totes that are incredibly oversize.
At the moment, I have been drawn to textured totes for summer. But, I want something with a bit more colour or edgier than my other straw bags, which are mostly vintage or have been recently subjected to wearing overload already.
Check out these bags from Mary and Marie, an Australian handbag brand that produces versatile bags ranging from beach bags to elegant clutches for any destination. The brand focuses on functionality as well as producing styles with an underlined Eco-friendly heart, those of which are constructed with woven recycled material. Here are my favourites and top picks from their collection.

I like totes for certain outings. Like going to Disneyland or the beach. Lately it's been hard to find cute ones but these are really nice! I like the patterns a lot!
great bags!!
I have a go-to tote that's textured and printed too, like the Tide is High. Loving The Perfect Girl tote bag.

Wow, I loved the zig zag clutch and the "Acapulco" tote! But I came to live for some months in winter – so I have to wait to wear summery outfits… 🙂 I know everybody loves summer, but I always try to escape to winter! denisesplamet com
I love a big roomy tote – so handy for carrying everything around!
I usually like wearing teeny cross body bags in the summer (super contrast to totes!) But I do LOVE that Acapulco style. The colors are cute!
Those Beach Totes are adorbs – I'm loving the Acapulco print! 🙂

I believe that fabric is the right material for the summer. I love the Missoni pattern look alike bags.
