In addition to a killer bikini and oversized sunglasses, a stylish beach tote is a beach-bumming essential, which is why a host of designers are starting to roll out new options. Following Clare Vivier's recent collab with Shutters on the Beach Kate Spade has just collaborated with Starwood's Preferred Guest program to design travel totes inspired by their 2013 Member's Favorites Resorts List, which includes seaside destination St. Regis Monarch Beach in the OC.
Going for $198 a pop, each design is inspired by the hotel's latest accolades. For example, the lush, green-hued Par For The Course tote is a nod to St. Regis being named best golf getaway, while the sky-blue Rest & Relaxation tote is a salute to their offered spa indulgences.
