Beach bags-Function, Fashion Merge in New Designs

 

Models feature colorful prints and fun-looking patterns, even while being water- and UV-resistant. Some even double as beach mats.

Taiwan and mainland China suppliers of beach bags are emphasizing multifunction and fashionable designs.

The latest releases include models that can be unfolded into beach mats. These come in woven PE, a polymer that has high resistance to abrasion and UV rays. For added comfort, models are sometimes bundled with inflatable pillows.

Fashion-forward designs in natural materials such as straw, rattan and jute are adorned with seashell and wooden beads. These are offered in tote, shoulder and handbag styles.

Shopper models made of PVC and PU come in an array of colors. They often feature striped, floral and sea-animal prints. Versions in cotton, canvas and mesh are also available.

Divisions are incorporated in the bags to help the user organize belongings. Zipped pockets and slots for mobile phones and electronic gadgets, cards and accessories are added to the interior and exterior of the bags.

The bags feature reinforced bottoms for durability. In addition, handles are double- or even triple-stitched onto the models.

To ensure quality, suppliers follow the ISO 9001:2000 standard in production. In addition, QC specialists inspect bag surfaces for spots and discoloration, and stitch quality. Models are also passed through needle detectors before packaging.

Makers require safety certificates from material suppliers showing that the plastic has low cadmium content. Further tests are conducted at third-party laboratories such as SGS.
