Filt String Bag in Red, White & Blue

Pop a Filt string bag in red, white & blue in your pocket or handbag and say no to plastic carrier bags. This compact cotton bag is finished in the red, white and blue of the French flag, giving you a touch of je ne sais quois wherever you are.

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.

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 Originally made by the peasant community, the workers eventually banded together into a formal company.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.
