10 Woven String Bags for Groceries

July 9, 2013

The market tote’s more compact sibling is the netted cotton grocery bag. While it seems to me that the bags had some popularity in the 1990s, lately we’ve been noticing a resurgence–and some modern versions even include leather.

Leather

Above: So It Goes’ Small Basket Tote is made from thick cotton rope, using traditional net making techniques; $70 from Need Supply.
