Lao Market Handmade Mesh Net Bag

The Lao Market Bag combines strength, style, and sustainability in one versatile design. Handcrafted from JungleVine® fiber, a self-renewing vine that grows wild in northern Laos, this eco-friendly bag is perfect for trips to the farmer’s market or grocery store. Its stretchy, durable construction allows it to carry a large volume of goods, while the comfortable handles, made on a back-strap loom, make it easy to tote around. Lightweight and compact, the bag gently cradles your produce and can stretch to accommodate everything you need—all without adding any unnecessary waste.

What makes the Lao Market Bag truly special is its carbon-negative impact. The JungleVine® fiber not only helps convert carbon dioxide into oxygen but also fixes nitrogen in the soil, healing damaged ecosystems. Harvested by Khmu artisans in harmony with nature, this vine grows without the need for cultivation, irrigation, or chemicals, making it a superior alternative to conventional cotton totes.

Made in Laos

At Awear, we choose people over speed.

Many of our brands are small, American-owned businesses that ship thoughtfully, sustainably, and in smaller batches. That means delivery may take a little longer — and shipping costs can vary.

Select brands are able to offer free shipping, but for most of our makers, every order is packed and sent with care by real people, not warehouses. Click here to see all our Free Shipping Brands.

And because we want it to be easier to shop small: spend over $89 and your shipping is free.

Your patience supports small businesses, ethical production, and a more intentional way of shopping. We’re so grateful you’re here.
