A great bag for the beach, work commutes or slinging over your roller carry-on during your next trip. This roomy canvas tote features clever inner and outer pockets and a sturdily reinforced bottom. But what really sold us was the dual-handle design that lets you carry it comfortably both on your shoulder and in your hand.

We snapped up this garment-dyed shirt immediately.
