Vogue Explores Net Bag Fashion History and Spring Styling with Designer Collections

Net bags, first introduced in 1860 in Normandy by the French manufacturer Filt for fishermen, have emerged as a seasonal essential for spring and summer, appearing in various designer lines. Tory Burch has crafted handwoven chain-mesh totes, while Erdem showcased embellished designs, and Michael Kors introduced a leather variant adorned with a tassel. These bags can be styled with professional attire, casual weekend looks, or vacation outfits, with colorful pouches suggested for organizing smaller items. Notable products include Loewe's striped tank top, Ossou's rinse-wash denim, Miu Miu boat shoes, and Hereu's netted bag featuring Filt. Additional offerings include Dragon Diffusion's woven leather tote, Stella McCartney's mule pumps, and clogs from Ancient Greek Sandals. The Filt bag is now also available in smaller sizes.
