Chances are, you’ve seen a lot more people on the tennis courts this summer. Yes, they may be playing pickleball (the fastest-growing sport in the country three years in a row), but the point is racket sports of all kinds have experienced a resurgence in recent years.

If you’re one of those who have joined the fun, Kavu’s new Topspin racket bag is a stylish way to keep your gear protected on the way to the court. The Seattle-based company is known for its signature rope bag, which features a strap made of climbing rope and a teardrop-shaped bag that sits comfortably on your back. The Topspin racket bag has a similar construction with an adjustable rope shoulder strap and side-release buckles. The semi-padded bag offers a main compartment with a two-way zip closure for racket storage, two exterior pockets and two mesh side pockets for water bottles or pickleballs. The sturdy bag is water-resistant and made with rugged 600D polyester. Choose from five designs— and if you like a pattern, buy it quickly. Kavu typically produces new color schemes and fabrics each year, meaning that each year’s selections aren’t around forever.

Stand out on the court with a bag that combines fashion and function exquisitely well.
