The String Bag: A Tote That Believed in Better Days
It folds into your fist, stretches around a watermelon, and is named after hope itself. Meet the string bag.
A Name Made of Hope
Its old name comes from a word that means "just in case, maybe." People carried it along on the off chance that something worth buying might turn up on the way home, and then they'd have somewhere to put it.
A bag whose very name is about optimism. A small bet that the day will turn out well.
An Engineering Marvel Without Engineers
A web of knotted string weighs almost nothing and tucks into a pocket, yet it stretches to hold an astonishing amount. The knots hold fast, and the shape molds itself to whatever's inside.
The least material for the most use, which is exactly what a calm, unfussy way of life appreciates.
A Quiet Comeback
These days the string bag is back in use: less plastic, more character. An old idea turned out to be both fashionable and kind to the planet.
In Cheremsha's warm retro look, the string bag fits right in, like a hello from an unhurried past.
