A cotton mesh bag that folds into a pocket and opens to hold a week of market shopping. Filt 1860 has knitted its net bags in Normandy since 1860 — the filet à provisions that French households have carried to the market, the bakery and the beach for generations.

Knitted, not woven: the mesh takes the shape of what you put in it, then returns to flat. There is nothing to fail — no zip, no lining, no plastic — so one long-lasting natural shopping bag replaces hundreds of disposable ones. This is quality measured in years of use rather than price per carrier bag.
