Summer is the season for long flights to see dear friends, indulging in takeout and restaurants for every meal, extensive walking, and belly laughs. In order to do all these things, we must have all our beloved relics packed and at the ready. Anything can happen on vacation! Like a foul ball flying through the bright blue sky directly towards your head at a Dodgers game. Now, please go grab your Go Getter — made of our quintessential summer woven fabric — and stuff it with Ashwagandha capsules and Supergoop! Glowscreen as we slink around Los Angeles.
It wouldn’t be a trip to visit your besties in LA if you didn’t haul them from their bungalow in Silver Lake to the buzzing streets and canals of Venice. You can lure them into your shopping trap with the promise of Ggiata sandwiches and a cold beer at The Brig. First stop will be the Erewhon. While you’re waiting in the bathroom line, peruse their aisle of Sea Moss Gel and hyper-oxygenated water. Our Joyride is the ultimate tote for carrying all your goodies procured on Abbott Kinney. You’ll look like a cool Venice mom with your colorful and breezy zip tote for groceries. Please, no plastic bags. Additionally, this bag is perfect if you want to go hang near the skaters on the beach. The second a scoop of sand is kicked into the bag, it immediately shakes out with its breathable, beach-chair-like weave. Need a bit more room in the same summer-friendly material? Check out the open-top Roadtripper tote.
Headed to the Leon Bridges and Charley Crockett show or Jaws in concert with the LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl with your buddies? We thought so. We must recommend packing the Cold Shoulder full of Sauvignon Blanc, Havarti, summer sausage, and a two-foot long baguette for your viewing pleasures. This versatile cooler bag has a zip top and 100% removable insulated liner with velcro closure, so you can carry it as a beach bag sans liner if you so desire (a twofer!). Plus, you can easily hose down and wipe clean any spillage that occurs as you scream at the scary violin noises and jump scares.
Summer visitors are required to partake in a nice, long slog up Sunset Blvd to the iconic Dodgers Stadium. Don’t worry, you will get one break for tacos. The Go Getter pouch and Poly Pocket crossbody are lifesavers with their capacity to store all your ballgame essentials, like Tums, an iPhone to play the Wordle in the 5th inning, a pocket diary to describe everyone in your row you’ve been staring at for the past four innings, and your wallet for all the stacks you’re about to blow on a Dodger Dog, new hat, Micheladas, and Dip n’ Dots. This flat and slim crossbody with two zipper pockets is a want AND a need as you cheer for Shohei Otani like your granny at her first Elvis concert.
By the time the sun sets and everyone meanders home from the hills, you’ll be more than ready to tuck yourself and your faithful crossbody into your comfortable guest bed with a big ol’ sleepy time mocktail. All this said, our bags, coolers, and accessories for summer are meant to be shared (especially when they’re up to 50% off). Pay it forward when packing up for your departure and leave your products filled with memories with your hosts. Think of it as the Sisterhood of the Traveling SCOUT and have the best summer ever with the greatest people you’ll ever meet.
