the net structure developed by sungmook uses minimal fabric and without any additional adhesives. despite its lightweight appearance, the mesh product is strong enough to hold up to 7kg of weight. the bag is made of eco-friendly new materials, 100% of which can be recycled. 

the product is a sustainable design that offers an alternative to disposable plastic shopping bags. perfect for carrying groceries, the bag begins as a flat piece, making it easy to store. when in use, the bag then expands to hold all your essential items.
