If you loved the Sun Jellies bags that rose to popularity in the ’80s, you’ll get a kick out of the new basket-like totes from Brazilian brand Melissa.
Summer is in full swing and, while in a perfect universe, I’d be typing this by the pool, my feet dipped in the water and a frozen Margarita within my reach, the truth is there hasn’t been much time for fun in the sun just yet.
