Salt. Sand. And shawarmas.

Three words that sum up life in the UAE better than anything else we know. The salt of the Gulf on your skin. The sand that somehow gets everywhere regardless. And the shawarma, that magnificent, spinning, thin-sliced, cone-shaped thing of beauty that the UAE did not invent but has absolutely made its own. (Shawarma comes from the Arabic for "turning", in case you were wondering. A reference to the vertical rotisserie. And yes, there is a falafel version for the vegetarians among us.)

This generous market and beach bag is the perfect everyday companion for a life lived in the Gulf. Spacious enough for the souk, sturdy enough for the beach, and good-looking enough to take absolutely everywhere. The Salt Sand and Shawarmas design is screen printed in off-white on rich ochre cotton and heat sealed for durability, so it will look great wash after wash. Two internal pockets keep your phone, keys and wallet in order, and a concealed magnetic closure keeps everything secure.
