Bathing suits should stay at the beach. Beach totes? Totally work appropriate, under certain conditions. There are few photos I find more fashionably inspiring than that of Jane Birkin wearing a faux fur and a straw bag.

We dare you.

This may look like a boring tote bag, but from experience, I can tell you: This is the most useful bag I own. It can go anywhere and hold anything. And the cherry on top? It's machine washable!

The look and feel of the perforated leather is SO. ALAIA. So we found one that's beach appropriate, work appropriate, and price conscious. What makes this particular bag great? The perforations aren't too large, so no one will be able to see through your bag.
