in need of a pool tote
2011/07/13
so i’m in a need of a good pool tote.
casey, abbey or kate – i’m hoping you’ll pull through for me with suggestions ;) it’s gotta be big – i need to carry a blanket, two towels, snacks, change of clothes/diapers for lil man, water, etc…
here’s some that i’m currently interested in:
and this one is my favorite – though i don’t think i’d justify spending $110 on a pool tote…
any of the above stand out? or any other great favorites i’m missing?
you ask?? and i’ll deliver ;) here are some that I like

(ok..stupid expensive..but crazy cute)
Don’t know if any of these are helpful at all…I mean, the size is so hard!! I was looking earlier and it’s hard to find a good ol’ big one.
good luck! maybe get 2 when you find one and let me have the other ;)
Lands End Totes are a classic..quality, durable canvas. :)

thx kate! just bought some baggu bags (for fun) and actually got one at target that seems decent – but needs some alterations ;) …good thing i know how to sew now :0 haha ;)
probably not big enough, but Rib & Hull have some really chic, organic cotton totes. The striped ones are to die for.
i’ve been eyeing those latex dip ones too for a minute. <3 thx for the suggestion sara!
I would look for a big vintage straw bag. I’ve been loving them lately and found an awesome one in a vintage store last week for $15. Here’s a good alternative. I think the straw wears better with water than a canvas will, plus it feels summery.

i agree with casey, i’m kinda loving a straw bag…but also I like to wear a big straw hat…sooo, too much straw??
