Every beach bum knows that you can never have too many beach bags. So, straight from the USVI, here’s another for your consideration:

I’m crushing on St. Thomas resident Gina Feddersen’s cotton canvas carriers.

This pineapple-embellished one speaks to me, but there are five other nature-inspired block-printed designs guaranteed to catch your fancy.

Simple (there are no pockets and the top is open) yet stylish, they’re perfect for your shore-side essentials.

And, at 14” x 20”, they’re large enough to do double-duty on a mid-week Publix run. With one of these on your arm, you’ll be stylin’ on the sand and at the supermarket!

Shop Gina’s online store, isolabella.com for the full line, as well as her handcrafted jewelry, paintings and pottery.
