Seriously, who ever would have thought to create a beach bag that transforms into a comfortable mat? That would be innovative designer Martin Margiela for MM6. And if you ask me, I think this is a wonderful idea for the upcoming summer. Now you can conveniently tote around your mat and carry all of your beach necessities without struggling to lug everything around. I think this is especially great for mothers because they could easily carry a load of beach toys for their kids and still be hands free. And if it get's dirty, you can just throw it in the wash. I think this combo is a great alternative to carrying a separate tote and a mat.
The Convertible Terry Beach Bag by Margiela's MM6 is made of soft plush terry cloth. There are two handles made of canvas for carrying or toting. There are zip closures on each side of the bag and when unzipped, it is elongated to create the perfect, comfy mat for basking in the sun. What's also great are the two button tabs at the bottom which allow the bag to be adjusted when rolled up. So if you happen to be carrying less, you can make a little change to the size of the bag. As for the color, I'm not really a fan of yellow but I love this shade. You can get it for this summer for $235.
^^^LOL, i had the same thought. that's why it'd be great for moms as i'm sure they end up dumping all of their kids toys out on the beach anyways. but yeah, where would you keep other items that would normally stay in a bag if not used???
Love the idea. Margiela is simply genius when it comes to reinventing basics. Only thing, it should come with a matching terry pouch to store your important belongings when you convert it from tote to mat.
^^^ OMG, that is a wonderful idea!!! Why didn't I think of that, lol! But yes, that would be great because you could easily carry the pouch inside and when you get to the beach you'd be all set and wouldn't have to worry!!! Awesome thinking laluella!!!
Laluella -not sure if you already saw it but one of the comments on this blog on Bag Bliss was asking where you would keep all of your things. So, I commented back saying you suggested a pouch!!! Just wantd to let you know!
