Content creator Abbie Herbert was a full-time model less than a decade ago. She returned to the runway earlier this summer, and walked in SI Swimsuit’s show at Miami Swim Week, an “unreal” and “powerful” experience. While at the June 1 event, she chatted with the brand about all things having a platform and being a good role model to her little ones.

“I didn’t know if I would ever be modeling again or doing this type of thing. So now that I have two kids and I’m right back here in Miami with Sports Illustrated, my dream, that was the dream in 2016, everyone wanted to walk for Sports Illustrated,” the 27-year-old gushed. “It’s still a dream. And the fact that I’m here doing it doesn’t feel real.”

As a mom to two toddlers, Poppy and Jagger, she’s constantly running around and in need of a roomy functional tote bag. As a family who live in Pittsburgh, the summers get quite hot and a beach day is the perfect activity to catch a tan, get some much-needed R&R and keep the kids entertained.

Her go-to summer accessory is a beach bag, and it’s something she doesn’t mind spending a bit of money on. Herbert’s current favorite is one from Spanish luxury fashion label Loewe.

“Always [have] a [good] beach bag. This one, Loewe, it’s an investment piece, but I love it and it makes sense. Sometimes investment pieces are worth the money,” the entrepreneur, who has built a following of more than 20 million across her platforms, shared.

The brand began as a leathermaking collective and has always been focused on knowledge-backed innovation and expert craftsmanship. Loewe has tons of beach totes in a variety of sizes. Shop some of our favorites below, and the full collection at loewe.com.
