"Avoska" is a Russian word that describes a string bag. This "space-saving-bag" was used for grocery shopping in Russia during Soviet times. It was very popular accessory for both women and men.
The same bag called "bilum" with different capacities, colors and shapes was widely used in Africa. Highland women wearing their colorful, bilum bags on their heads.
Bilums are natural string bags, very strong, used for everything: from babies, to food, to personal possessions or even wood fire!
These days they are an excellent replacement to plastic & paper bags. Most people discard their supermarket bags right after they place their recently bought groceries in their refrigerator. Responsible folks try to find second uses for the bags, but things rarely go further than that.
Retro bag is making a comeback because of its practicality and smart design.
String Bag made from 100% organic cotton,
it’s tough to measure them as they’re so stretchy:)
The real test comes when you put your shopping in and they hold
a huge amount. This is a go everywhere, use for everything tote
that will never go out of style.
The perfect MagicNetBag compresses into a tiny ball, so you can always have it on hand.
