Filt 1860 Cotton Net Bag | Ecru

It waits by the door for the market, the bakery, and the long way home — the kind of errand worth doing slowly.

Knitted cotton mesh that stretches to hold whatever you put in it and settles flat again when empty. Ecru is undyed cotton — the colour the yarn arrives in. The Mini takes a loaf and a newspaper. The Classic body measures 40 × 40 cm, with 28 cm handles for carrying in the hand or 56 cm handles for the shoulder. The XXL opens to 70 × 70 cm and still rolls down small enough to keep in the boot of the car. No lining, no fastening, no plastic anywhere in it. It takes a rolled mat and a bottle to a morning class. It holds toys off the floor as willingly as fruit off a stall.

Filt has been knitting nets in Normandy since 1860 — fishing nets first, then cargo nets and hairnets, and eventually the filet à provisions that became the standard French shopping bag. Production has never left the region: the mesh is still knitted and the handles still braided in Filt's own workshops.
