There’s something extra charming about these long string grocery tote bags. Maybe it’s the nautical vibe of the string netting. Or maybe it’s a longing for summer’s farmers markets, where stalls swell with the season’s freshest fruits and veggies. Even if the charm is hard to pin down, what’s not is how well these stylish string bags work at both hauling hefty grocery loads and at replacing skimpy single-use plastic baggies. It’s just a nice bonus that in the process of practicing sustainability, you can look chic too.
