• All the Straps

    Adjustable outer straps give you that extra room for towels, jackets, yoga mats, or beach blankets - everything that is too bulky to go inside.

    Our shoulder strap is adjustable to your body size and makes carrying heavy bags easier.

  • YKK Zippers

    Our zippers are top of the line YKK. They are heavy duty, zip easily, and aren't metal so they won't heat up to a million degrees when left in the sun!

    They're even used on our hidden valuables and passport pockets.

  • Deep Side Pockets

    Ideal for keeping your wet from your dry, this area is great for large water bottles, multiple cans of pop, or wet bathing suits. With a double zipper feature, access is a breeze.

    All our liners are waterproof to keep even exploding sunscreen under control.

What She Said

Seriously, this is my dream beach bag!!!

What if I told you...

that by spoiling yourself, you were helping to change people's lives?

My name is Carlie Rioux and I'm the founder of Thea Caye. An avid traveler and serial entreprenuer, I started this company after I was sexually attacked by 4 men on separate occasions. (Click here to read more about that)

Why does this company exist? Well, what I knew was: Exploiting human beings sucks and conventional beach bags suck.


That was a lot of suck I could fix by creating a bag that can handle the diversity of my life as easily as I do.

I took on the challenge of creating change at every level of my supply chain. By sporting one of our products (or 3, hehe) you are directly influencing the improvement of other people's lives as well as your own!

What She Said

My husband bought me a Thea Caye bag as an anniversary gift and I am beyond thrilled. I am fairly small so finding a bag that sits on my body properly and is comfortable is difficult, but this bag fits me like a glove and is so comfortable to wear around. It is so roomy that when I take my daughter swimming I have room for all of our things and there is no need for me to carry around a second bag.
