MERCADO BAG From Oaxaca, Mexico

Mexico's mercado bags are made by recycling plastic bottles and marine debris, processing them into plastic tape, and then knitting it by hand according to a wooden pattern.

"Mercado" means "market" in Spanish. It is popular locally as Marche bag.

Mercado bags have a variety of production backgrounds, including basket weavers who originally made baskets by splitting plant fibers, but who have now started using recycled plastic cord instead of plant materials, which require many steps, and society. Inmates may also create these as vocational training for their return to work.

Weaving the cords evenly and without gaps is a labor-intensive task.

They are often knitted by men, and when I imagine that they are also the ones who came up with the colorful colors and pop-designed Mercado bags, I get a sense of the quality and sense of Mexican creativity.

This is a standard XS size from Oaxaca.

XS size, which is smaller than S, can be used for wallets, smartphones, pouches, portable batteries, regular size books, and Stojo. 470ml fit perfectly.

I felt that it fit better than it looked. If you change the items, you can also fit a long wallet.
