What you need to know

Hit the waves with Siân Brown’s tweed stitch beach bag.

Stash your seaside essentials and go! This capacious handbag is sure to take good care of your sunnies, lotion and latest page-turner, ready for a relaxing day on the sand. Featuring a nautical colour scheme that fills our heads with sailors, seagulls and all the sights and sounds of summer, we love the addition of wooden rings to add texture to this accessory. Meanwhile, the relaxing and repetitive main pattern uses slip stitches and two-colour combinations to break up the lines with tweed-like nepps that are also reminiscent of teeny tiny waves...
