I know the unofficial start to summer — Memorial Day — isn’t for another few days, but the season already kicked off weeks ago in my book. I’ve already spent a few days at the park, and this past weekend I lounged by the pool for hours. The only thing left to do is make my way out to the beach, but I want to step up my beach game by getting some essentials first, like a backpack chair and umbrella.

A beach tote is also just as important. By opting for a durable, waterproof tote, I won’t have to risk damaging my purse. The uber-popular Bogg Bag is the first beach bag that came to my mind, but before I added it to my cart I wanted to check if there were any dupes out there that would serve a similar purpose for less. Lo and behold, Marshalls has one that costs only a third of the Bogg Bag’s price!

What Is the Hurley Eva Waterproof Tote Bag?

Visually, there aren’t too many differences between the Hurley and Bogg bags. They both offer dual handles, small cutouts that keep water from accumulating — although the Hurley’s cutouts are H-shaped — and waterproof material. They’re both even similar in size at 19 inches wide, although the Hurley is about an inch shorter. It’s perfect for toting around towels, sunscreen, snacks, and more, whether you’re making your way to the pool, park, or beach.

In fact, a TikToker that owns both bags compares them in this video. Rayah (@4rayah.sunshine) places them next to each other and determines that they have similar straps, in terms of thickness and length, although the body of the Hurley tote is a bit thinner. They also note that it’s the lightest in weight.

Further, Marshalls has a few colors available beyond white. While it’s not quite comparable to Bogg’s 37 color options, the ones the brand is selling are super cute. You can spice up your beach or pool outfit with pink, orangey yellow, sky blue, and green options — all of which are the same price as the white one.

Stylish, plenty spacious enough for all of your belongings, sturdy, and comfortable to carry on your shoulder? This $30 dupe has all of the makings to be your go-to summer bag. Just make sure you grab it before the season really starts!
