Our Aphrodite Oversized Beach Tote leans into drama in the best way. I built it for women who move through the day with a little ritual and a lot to carry -- the kaftan tossed in for later, the notebook that always comes along, the SPF that smells like a vacation. It's crafted from a soft, weighty vegan leather and finished with hand-stitched wave detailing that gives it a subtle, sculptural edge. The gold hardware has the feel of jewelry, so even when you're hauling it from a hotel rooftop down to the shore, it still looks polished. It's generous in scale but surprisingly easy to wear, which is why it ends up everywhere with me, beach or not. MSRP: $498 Link: https://mermaidway.com/products/aphrodite-oversized-beach-tote I can send high-res images right away and handle the release as soon as you need it.
