13 Stylish Net Bags To Add To Your Accessory Rotation
Get caught.
While the buzzy mesh bag is the accessory offshoot of the see-through craze sweeping Hollywood, net bags are the more saucy, yet equally stylish, counterpart. And they’re primed to surpass the popularity of their sheer cousin.
Similar to the fishnet tights of 2007, the webbed item’s primary identifier is its woven construction. The net bag’s lattices tend to be wide and exaggerated, often revealing a leather or nylon lining below. Instead of exposing the contents of one’s purse (showing off produce was a huge mesh bag trend back in 2018), the current iteration offers latticework that’s more of an aesthetic overlay to a fully opaque, durable inner.
Riffing on the combinations of hues and textures is where these bags truly shine. Two-toned designs in berry shades, for example, let fashion girlies channel either Barbiecore or the Hailey Bieber-approved “strawberry girl summer” aesthetic. Meanwhile, a bucket-shaped option with an oatmeal base and a dark brown net falls squarely into the sophisticated neutral trend bound to be big this fall.
Some styles, meanwhile, chicly play on fabrics and materials. Leather braiding over a leather purse feels decidedly posh, while seashells woven into a purse keep summer sensibilities alive. A few items even feature fringe, perfect for a more playful take on the trend. Whichever silhouette or hue suits your handbag needs, shop the cutest net bags for the season.
