Best summer holiday handbag/daybag

In true MSE style, rather than take with me on holiday a beach bag, handbag and carry on bag for the plane, I am looking for ideas for one that would suit all 3 purposes. Doesn't have to be as big as a beach bag. I had thought about a monostrap bag (one on amazon for £10ish but can't post link as am too new:() which is like a small nylony backpack but with only one strap.What do you use when you're on hols?

  • I use one of those (small) weekend type bags that you can pick up for about £6 in Primark, it is big enough for a beach bag, a carry on bag and depending on where you are going, it doubles up for shopping and a stroll around the resort! At that price it isn't too much of a loss if it gets ruined by sand or in the sea.

    I guess if you wanted to keep your purse, keys etc together you could put these in a make up pouch or a sandwich bag within the big bag for ease of access?

  • Thanks roshydosh, will get a trawl through Primark!:j
  • Hope it's a help, I'm pretty sure they are £6. If you want a more upmarket style/price/detailed bag, then Accessorize is a good bet,

    You could always put your purse etc in a clutch bag within the bag instead of a make up bag so you have one for the evenings!x
  • I just go for a huge tote from Coach. It works for everything!
