Move Over, Straw Bags! Net Bags Are The New Street Style Hero

The fashion fraternity has a knack for taking one hit trend and recycling it in a million different ways (okay, maybe not a million), but you get my drift. For instance, when the Bardot neckline became a thing, it was immediately followed up by the one shoulder neckline rage! The latest trend to be given a new lease on life is basket weave or straw bags. The favourite summer 2018 trend has now given way to another hot accessory – the net bag! 

These modest mesh pieces are minimal and affordable hero handbags, that have made an appearance on and off the runway! A quick scroll through Instagram and we discovered that many fashion influencers have also been wearing this trend.

From Maison Margiela, Céline and Staud to everyone’s favourite – Mango, Zara and H&M, a ton of brands have created their own versions of this bag! Now, these bags look an awful lot like the bags grocery stores pack vegetables and fruits in, but if styled right they look quite breezy and chic. And hey, you’ll have this handy for days you want to run grocery errands!
