Using them

  • Heavy things at the bottom. The weave stretches around whatever's underneath.
  • Sharp corners in the middle. Boxes and cartons can poke through a gap.
  • Keep one with you. The Mini Net folds smaller than a lemon.
  • Wash cool, hang dry. In a pillowcase if it goes in the machine.

Questions

Will things fall through the gaps?
Not fruit or vegetables. Small loose items — keys, coins — will. Use the Shoulder Tote for those; its weave is tighter.
How much weight can the Market Tote take?
It is made for groceries. Keep it under about 20 lb and spread heavy things across the bottom.
Do the colours run?
Rose and cocoa can bleed a little in the first wash. Wash them cool and separately the first time.
Where do you ship?
Anywhere in the United States. Not abroad yet.
