Sand and Deliver

Alexandra Cassaniti Collection

Neh, eh, eh. Where do you think you’re going in that bikini?

There will be no fun in the sun just yet.

Not without Alexandra Cassaniti’s new line of seaside-worthy accessories.

Toss your supplies into one of her hand-screened and painted canvas bags — either the tote with adjustable leather straps or the four-pocket backpack that doubles as the bucket bag and triples as a satchel. Then slip on the Beachin’ Wedge in cork with gold flecks or black vinyl and snag a pair of Face It sunglasses, hand-tinted and flash-finished mirrored shades sporting triangles, X’s, and stripes.

Truth be told, Cassaniti’s wares look just as good on the streets as they do in the sand (save for her made-to-order, lightning-bolt surfboards shaped to your specs then hand-painted before glassing).

Either way, you’ll be beachy keen.

Available at Opening Ceremony, 451 North La Cienega Boulevard, between Rosewood and Oakwood Avenues, West Hollywood (310-652-1120); online at alexandracassaniti.com.
