If I were to ever make a list of summer “necessities,” a hard-wearing beach tote would be right at the top. The kind that stays in a family for decades (if not generations). That after years of being beaten and bleached by sun and sand, still remains amongst the sturdiest items in your closet. One like the Cape Lookout Tote from North Carolina’s Parrott Canvas. Made from burly 18oz. cotton duck, the bag is a seaside-friendly hauler that has quality in spades. Details include one main pocket, six outer pockets, leather snap closure at the top, a reinforced bottom, yacht cord key holder, and gingham lining.
