When the clock hits three o'clock on Friday, we've already got sunblock on our nose, and our beach bag on our shoulder. By now though, our straw sack is looking a little worse for wear, and we're entertaining new options to lug around our sea-side stuff with. This American Apparel rucksack hits up on a few of this season's hottest handbag trends and costs much less than the JF & SON bucket bag. Of course, it hasn't got a leather trim, sunny yellow colorway, or the craftsmanship of the JF & SON, but it's a great option that you won't might banging up a bit while you're bumming it at the beach.
