The Best Shupatto Bags for Summer: Beach Days, Picnics, and Beyond
A while ago, I wrote an honest review about the classic Shupatto bag, and we loved hearing how much you all enjoy that magical one-pull fold!
But as the days get warmer and we swap supermarket runs for beach trips and park picnics, our everyday needs change. If you're looking for the perfect grab-and-go tote for the season, here are my top two Shupatto picks for summer time. 🌞
1. Mesh Bag (25L) | The Ultimate Beach Companion
Love the beach but hate bringing half the sand home in your bag? The Shupatto Mesh Bag is my new go-to. It’s lightweight, incredibly breathable, and doubles as a super trendy everyday accessory.
🏖️ Sand-Free: Stray sand falls right through the mesh before you even get on your bike.
💨 Quick Drying: Toss in your damp swimsuits and towels—the mesh lets them air out quickly without trapping musty smells.
🦾 Spacious & Strong: It holds up to 25L (10kg!), and the wide opening means no more digging around blindly for your sunscreen.
🎨 Stylish Colours: Available in two versatile shades: Sand Beige and Black.
🪄 Folds Flat: Just like the classic bags, it rolls up easily in seconds.

2. Insulated Bag (20L) | Your Picnic Lifesaver
There is nothing sadder than arriving at the park for a picnic, only to realise your drinks are warm and your snacks are melting. The Shupatto Insulated Bag has quickly become my summer lifesaver. 🍻
❄️ Keeps Things Chilled: The inside is lined with an aluminium sheet that keeps your drinks cold and salads crisp. It’s also great for keeping ice cream frozen on your grocery run home!
☔️ Water-Repellent: The outer fabric protects your food from wet grass or sudden summer drizzles.
🤲 Roomy but Compact: It easily fits up to five 2-liter bottles, yet folds down into the palm of your hand when you're done.
🌸 Beautiful Prints: Available in gorgeous, nature-inspired patterns like Amber and White Birch.
