10 Everyday Ways to Use Our Mesh Marketbags (Beyond the Farmers Market)

Meet your new favorite go-everywhere essential: our colorful Mesh Marketbags. Whether you're heading out for a coastal walk, planning a weekend market haul, or packing for a spontaneous road trip, these breezy beauties are made to keep up with your lifestyle. Available in earthy brown, citrusy orange, ocean blue, forest green, and soft neutral white, they’re lightweight, sturdy, and stylish — the perfect combo of function and feel.

Crafted from 100% cotton, these Marketbags are incredibly soft yet strong. Designed with a perfect blend of durability and flexibility, they effortlessly stretch to accommodate whatever you toss in — from fresh produce to sandy towels to stacks of books.

Here are 10 ways we love to use them:

1. Farmers Market Hauls

Obviously. Load up on local produce, fresh flowers, jam jars, and homemade bread. The breathable mesh expands generously and is easy to shake out after.

2. Beach Days

Toss in your towel, sunscreen, a book, and snacks. Sand sifts right through — no more gritty surprises on the car seat.

3. Travel Companion

Roll one up and stash it in your suitcase — it takes up almost no space and makes the perfect extra bag for shopping, beach days, or exploring town once you’ve arrived. Whether you’re headed on a weekend getaway or a longer trip, this is the ultimate lightweight vacation tote — easy to pack, and even easier to use while you're out and about.

4. Grocery Run

These Marketbags hold more than you'd think. Use them for plastic-free produce shopping or as a quick grab-and-go tote for everyday errands.

5. Dog-Walking Essentials

Treats, tennis balls, a collapsible water bowl — everything your pup needs for a day at the park fits right in.

6. Hiking or Paddleboard Days

Stash your wet swimsuit or towel in the mesh post-lake dip. The breathability means no musty smell later.

7. Book & Journal Tote

Bring your current read, a journal, and pens to your favorite coffee shop or forest nook. Add a crystal or two if you’re that kind of person (we are).

8. Picnic Pack

Roll up a blanket, tuck in a bottle of wine, cheese, fruit, and you’re picnic ready. Bonus points if you use it on a sunset hike.

9. Everyday Errands

From post office runs to plant nursery hauls, the Marketbag is your laidback, eco-friendly sidekick.

10. Style Statement

Let’s be honest — they’re just cute. Pair with a flowy dress or denim and slides. The variety of colors makes it easy to coordinate with your seasonal wardrobe.

 

These Marketbags are meant to be lived with — tossed in the car, tied to your beach cruiser, or slung over your shoulder on the way to the co-op. Minimal, functional, and unfussy, they’re designed to move with you from tides to trails and everything in between.
