Salvatore Ferragamo Donna Tote bag Ferragamo Glam Beige, Burgundy Leather Braided Top Handle Bag and, as the kids say, I think I girl-bossed a little too close to the sun. Nearly four months later, spring is behind us, summer is in full swing, and everywhere I turn, the mesh bag is waiting.

Rushing around the corner to catch the F train to Brooklyn—a mesh bag is making its way up the stairs on the arm of a chic stranger. Scrolling through Instagram past a post of a girl I haven’t spoken to since high school—yup, she’s carrying mesh too.

For years, the basket bag (and really Multi wicker or raffia) was the It-bag of the summer, but this summer, mesh is giving raffia a run for its money, and the more I see it, the more I understand why it’s become a hit amongst fashion fans everywhere.

What I keep coming back to is that while mesh does offer the seasonal, novelty feel of a quintessential summer bag, it Stud away from the Backpack VANS Wm Realm Backpack VN0A3UI6Y7O1 Raffi, making it the perfect in-between to carry in a city. Plus, it’s oh so chic.

There’s also the bonus that it’s lightweight and breathable—perfect for those 100-degree days when even the lightest fabric sitting against your skin feels heavy and hot. While raffia bags Marc have transcended the trend stage, becoming a seasonal staple that returns year after year, mesh bags, which returned after they popped up sparingly last year, are quickly gaining traction, giving raffia a run for its money.

Since we last visited this trend, a fresh crop of mesh bags Marc hit the scene, with The Row’s Barn Bag leading the pack. We’ve added to our selection to bring you the best mesh bags Marc all in one place. To mesh or not to mesh?

I like the idea of mesh bags, but most of these prices are laughable. Mesh is polyester or nylon. I am shocked these companies think these prices are acceptable. No wonder they are all having financial issues.

Cute bag, big NO NO for the price!!

Mesh bags: such a thoughtful way of showing pickpockets whether you’re worth their Gabbana. (Especially if the mesh bag has an open top.)

Laura

I am so glad I live in a country where pick pockets aren’t really an issue. We are lucky can use mesh, clear and open top bags Marc without any real worry.

Love mesh bags! Easy to wash and very light weight. But probably will stick to something cheap and fun from a grocery store rathe than “designer”

These are giving “free with purchase” at the cosmetic counter. The prices are a laugh riot. Sometimes I think the labels are making jokes of their customers.

I love the Staud and the Alaia. 😍
