Owala’s new beach bag might be even better than its water bottles thanks to this one clever feature

The collapsible design packs down to a fraction of its size.

Every summer, the same question comes up: Where do you actually put your beach bag once the trip is over? The oversized totes that hold everything you need for a day in the sun tend to hog an entire shelf, a car trunk corner, or half a suitcase the rest of the year. Owala, the brand behind wildly popular water bottles, has a fix for that exact headache with its new Sun-Day Collapsible Tote.

The coolest thing about this bag is that it folds flat when you’re done using it, so storage stops being a problem. And right now, Owala is sweetening the deal even further: Buy any Sun-Day Tote and you’ll get a free Owala bottle thrown in, which feels like the kind of bonus that makes an already-good find even better.

Once you actually get your hands on it, the bag’s folding mechanism is what stands out against every other oversized tote you’ve probably lugged around before. The base snaps in when you’re ready to use it and pops right back out the second you’re done, and that ease is exactly what won one shopper over. 

“I chose this because it’s easier to store when not in use,” said one owner. No more wrestling a bulky tote into a closet that doesn’t have room for it. And once the sand and sunscreen inevitably take over, they said it’s “easy to rinse out after a day at the beach”—another win.

Carrying it feels just as thought-out as storing it, with multiple ways of carrying it thanks to the padded handles and a shoulder strap that converts it to a crossbody option. 

One reviewer clearly noticed, saying they “love that it has a shoulder strap and handles on the side.” And it’s not just comfortable, the “very sturdy” bag holds up. 

With a spacious 34-liter interior, the Sun-Day Collapsible Tote can hold up to six beach towels, three outfits, or two yoga mats without breaking a sweat. And shoppers say that other popular tote bags simply do not compare to that capacity.

“I think I can hold so much more than a Bogg bag any day, and I love that it takes up less space when collapsed!” shared one reviewer. That’s really the magic trick here—all that room when you need it, none of the bulk when you don’t.

One busy parent is fully sold, calling it “every mom’s dream bag.” They said it’s “perfect for swimming lessons and picnics” at the park. What keeps them coming back is that it’s “collapsible and [easy] to clean with its wipeable surface.” The practical design and low-effort maintenance ensures that you can schlep around the bag without worry.

The appeal here really does start with that collapsible design, which packs down small, hauls an absurd amount of stuff, cleans up without effort, and adapts to however you need to carry it that day. That’s a lot of function packed into one bag—and with a free bottle thrown in right now, there’s really no reason to wait until next summer to grab one.

Consider this just the beginning. Owala has more warm-weather essentials for beach days, everyday errands, and everything in between.
