This Filt string bag in rainbow stripes is an incredibly cheerful way to bring your shopping home, or transport a picnic. Simply fold it up neatly in your pocket, and you’ll never need to take a plastic bag again. Made from 100% organic cotton – this really is an eco bag. Plus, you can carry a surprisingly amount of shopping in the expandable string mesh. String bags like these have been used in France for decades and were traditionally used to carry groceries. The strong cotton net bags squish down into almost nothing, so they’re a convenient way to make sure you always have a bag to hand. The bag is machine washable. Normandy-based Filt have been making string bags since 1860. Originally made by the peasant community, the workers eventually banded together into a formal company. Filt still knit the bags using traditional techniques passed down through generations. These lightweight, compact, yet durable bags find plenty of uses in modern life – from grocery shopping to trips to the library. They’re an ideal gift for anyone into classic French style.
