If you’re sick of weird, impractical bag trends: don’t worry, fall is just around the corner, and everything gets a lot more solid and neutral in fall. If you’re down for a little more fun and impracticality before a deep freeze descends on us all (or just on me, a year-round resident of New York, unfortunately), then I’m here to point out something you may have already picked up on a little bit: mesh, net and macramé bags are having a moment among the internet’s stylish inhabitants, mostly on Instagram.
As noted at The Cut, a lot of influencers and designers are styling the most extreme of these accessory looks with only a trio of oranges inside, which is an aesthetic idea not particularly useful to anyone whose daily activities extend beyond providing the snacks at halftime of a youth soccer game.
As handbag designers often do, though, the look has been adjusted in a couple key ways to make it a little more user-friendly. If you love the look and want to spend a little bit of money on the trend, we’d recommend choosing a version that has a leather lining or leather insert. On the other end of the price spectrum, we found the look’s grocery bag inspo at three for $13, which is virtually indistinguishable from a number of the more expensive options. In the middle, well, take a look below.

I could make one for a lot less lol.
If you are at the beach perfect bag, otherwise a big no for me.
Has anyone ever actually used one? Doesn’t stuff fall out?
They all look like macrame plant hangers from the 70’s to me.
Some of them remind me of when the Handmaids had to go grocery shopping.
horrible
The thing about these bags is, that if you carry anything of weight in it such as your wallet and phone, it sags really badly, yielding a scrotal shape.
