Filt 1860

DESCRIPTION – The story of the Filt net produce bag, or “filet à provisions,” begins in the mid 19th century in Normandy, a picturesque region in northern France. Originally crafted by local fishermen, these bags were made from cotton or linen, materials readily available and durable enough to carry heavy loads of freshly caught fish. The fishermen’s wives soon saw the potential of these bags for daily market use, appreciating their flexibility and strength.

In a world increasingly dominated by disposable products, this classic French net produce bag stands out as a testament to ingenuity and sustainability. Its journey from the fishing villages of Normandy to the bustling farmers’ markets and trendy boutiques of today is a remarkable story of resilience and adaptation.

Whether you’re carrying groceries, heading to the beach, or simply looking for a stylish way to reduce your environmental footprint, the Filt net produce bag is a perfect choice — still manufactured in the north of France as it was over 165 years later. Embrace this piece of history and carry a bit of French tradition with you, wherever you go.
