Eco-bags that are being developed by various companies with various functions and designs due to the charge for plastic shopping bags. I also have multiple eco-bags with different characteristics, but I have been suffering from a certain problem for a long time. That is, "the egg carton does not have the right size".

An egg that cracks quickly even if it is shocked a little. If the eco bag is too large, the egg carton will be susceptible to vibration, and if the eco bag is too small, there will be insufficient gusset and it will not be possible to keep it level. That's why I was thinking, "I wish I had an egg carton and a just-sized bag," and I found the right role for MUJI. It is a bag product called "cotton mesh bag".

Cotton mesh bag

MUJI's "Cotton Mesh Bag" (37 x 33 cm) is modeled after the bag used as a shopping bag in France. As the name suggests, it is a mesh type, so you can see the contents of the bag. Because the knitted straps are thick and durable, they firmly support heavy contents.


This "cotton mesh bag" is just the size of an egg carton containing 10 pieces! If you insert the egg carton while pushing the knitted string a little, the pack will be completely wrapped and the four corners will be fixed. Even if the bag shakes when you carry it, the egg carton will not slide or tilt. The fact that you can see the egg carton is also a safe material when you are careful not to hit it.




Of course, it is perfect not only for egg packs, but also for small purchases such as "1 pack of yogurt + 1 bottle of milk" and "1 bag of bananas". It is also a good idea to use it for storing vegetables and fruits for home use, and for storing toys and balls. The fact that we use "organic cotton grown in soil that has not used pesticides or chemical fertilizers for more than 3 years" also makes us feel that we can add eco-friendliness to our daily lives.



The size of the MUJI "Cotton Mesh Bag" introduced this time is approximately 37 cm wide x 33 cm long (excluding the handle). The price (tax included, same below) is 690 yen. A large "45.5 x 37.5 cm size" (790 yen) is also available. How about using it as an eco bag or a storage item at home?
