General
History and Background
We are inspired to bring you a new generation of beach bags that are super sturdy, sand free and mildew, fade and stain proof as well as beautiful, fun and stylish. These functional tote bags and accessories are designed for carrying everything you need for your summer lifestyle and make you smile when you use them.
Like us, many of you have a special summer place you return to year after year. And like us, there’s that set of essentials you need for a day at the beach or stroll through town: towel, book, sunscreen, sweater, waterbottle, etc. Originally introduced as a huge improvement on the ubiquitous canvas boat bag, our beach bag was an instant sensation at the local Chilmark Flea Market.
We realized that our totes were something special, so we decided to focus on the totes and are starting a new company, MV Totes, dedicated to designing totes that help make life more fun. We have created a smaller version of our original beach bag, introduced the Koana Coast and tote bags: with strong and water proof bottoms for use as shopping bags, everyday totes or to use on the ferry ride to and from Martha’s Vineyard. Inspired by our winter home in Santa Fe, New Mexico and our love of southwestern colors which echo the cliffs of Aquinnah we are also introducing the Santa Fe bags-strong and water proof with silver and turquoise accents. We continue to be inspired to bring you new functional accessories with style. Our latest designs include a farmer’s market tote which won’t crush your vegetables and still has room for a bunch of flowers or a bottle of wine or a loaf of bread. I am busy designing more.
