You can’t go wrong with purple, I always say. Just take a look at this fun Lulu Guinness Striped Maddy Tote, a large white canvas bag with bold purple stripes and funky fuschias that hang from the purple and green braided handles (my favorite part). It’s got plenty of personality, is practical, and is sure to brighten any bathing suit. The handbag even has a zip top, so you don’t have to worry about your belongings falling out.
