Winter has taken its final breath, and Spring is officially in full swing. Translation? It’s time to start planning your next beach vacation. Whether you're dreaming of a serene retreat on a quiet shoreline or chasing the buzz of a lively coastal town, Sherpani has the perfect bag to carry you through every sun-drenched adventure.
Here at Sherpani, we understand how trip planning typically unfolds. The excitement can take a backseat during the planning process, and ironically, make the prospect of a relaxing vacation start to feel… stressful. So consider this your beachy spring retreat cheat sheet—a no-stress guide to all things bags on the beach. Because let’s be honest—planning a vacation should be fun. So, what’s your vibe? Are you…
The Laid-back Lounger
Picture this: sun-soaked days spent reading, napping, and digging your toes into the sand. If you’re planning a trip around a chill beach aesthetic, you need a bag that’s spacious and effortlessly cool. We know you’re planning on bringing all the essentials: towel, book, SPF, (one of our favorites is the Supergoop Glow Screen SPF40 )wallet, phone, and some snacks.
Our Sherpani Pick: The Soleil
For a laid back and low-maintenance beach day, we’re reaching for the Soleil Tote. This roomy and convertible backpack/tote (we love a 2-in-1) can handle your beach towel, sunscreen, a good book, and well… you get the picture. Trudging through sand to find the perfect lounging spot is tiresome and let’s face it, a bit of a workout. Luckily, the Soleil can act as a backpack, helping you navigate sandy shores with ease. Heading to a beachside restaurant afterward? Hide the backpack straps and wear it as a crossbody for a more elevated look. Either way, this bag will be your beachy BFF.
The Coastal Explorer
If your ideal spring vacation involves discovering hidden tide pools, strolling along windswept shores, and collecting seashells, you need a bag that keeps your hands free and your essentials secure. It’s fun to play the role of adventurer, but it doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice being cute for a week by the coast.
Our Sherpani Pick: Wayfarer Sling or Vale Crossbody
A compact crossbody or hands-free sling will allow you to move with intention and freedom while also keeping your phone, wallet, and other treasures (maybe even those you find while scouring the coastline) close at hand. Our Wayfarer sling was made for this kind of thing… It’s even a part of the name—Wayfarer (noun): one who travels, especially on foot. This medium-sized sling can be worn across your back for comfort and accessibility, or converted into a backpack when needed. This is one of our favorites for hitting the hiking trail, so naturally, a day roaming the coast doesn’t fall too far behind.
Similarly, our Vale crossbody is large enough to carry all your essentials but compact enough not to weigh you down. To boot, there are eight different ways to style it, making it our most versatile travel bag. Cute, comfortable, and convenient—it’s a win-win-win.
The Boardwalk Bound
Planning on hitting a local boardwalk for some fun, food, and ocean views? Between morning strolls and people-watching to rollercoaster rides and saltwater taffy, the boardwalk is the heartbeat of most coastal towns. It’s where you’ll wander in and out of quirky shops, snack on fried treats you can’t resist, and probably catch a street performance or two—which is why you’ll want a bag that can keep up with all the commotion
Our Sherpani Pick: Convertible Camden or Esprit Sling
We suggest something lightweight, secure, and hands-free for weaving through big crowds, snapping photos, and carrying those unique and unexpected souvenir finds. Think of a medium-sized shoulder bag, such as our Convertible Camden, or a sling bag like the Esprit. Both these options come with room for your essentials, plus a little extra space because, yes, you will end up buying that “salt water scented” candle.
The Sunset Chaser
There are two kinds of sunset seekers: those with a perfectly curated outfit and a cocktail in hand, and those knee-deep in the water, soaking up every last golden ray. You know which one you are. But no matter your vibe, there’s something undeniably elegant about a beach sunset. The soft glow, the breeze, the way everything slows down—it typically calls for a more polished look. So, whether you're barefoot in the sand or sipping from a bar deck with a view, you deserve a bag that complements the moment and elevates your evening style in a way that’s right for you.
Our Sherpani Pick: Millie Crossbody or Mei Travel Trio Crossbody
The Milli is a tried and true Sherpani staple—and for good reason. This beloved mini messenger is lightweight, spacious, and features an elevated, streamlined design, perfect for an evening out.
Just as functional but perhaps even more polished is the Mei, a sleek crossbody designed with both form and function in mind. Outfitted with Sherpani’s signature anti-theft tech and intuitive interior organization, the Mei allows you to move confidently through the night, whether you're exploring a new city or simply wandering the waterfront. Lightweight, stylish, and secure—it’s the kind of bag that makes packing light feel like an upgrade, not a compromise.
No matter your spring travel style, Sherpani bags are built to move with you—from sun to sand to sunset.
