A new era of visibility is here. Once reserved for market bags and beach totes, mesh has now stepped confidently into the luxury spotlight. Following the success of Alaïa’s iconic ballet flats, this breezy trend has seamlessly transitioned into handbags, with brands like Chanel and Miu Miu leading the charge, turning these semi-sheer designs into the next must-have accessory.
Whether it’s a classic fishnet, technical mesh, or a contemporary iteration, these bags blend unexpected materials with high-end craftsmanship, creating a surprising mix of luxury and effortless cool.
Now, let’s take a look at some of the hottest mesh bags available right now – just in time to cast your attention toward summer.
Chanel - Pouch
One of the most coveted handbags from Chanel’s Spring-Summer 2025 collection, the reimagined 25S Pouch blends mesh with classic lambskin for a fresh take on an iconic style. Designed with an adjustable top handle secured by snap fastenings and a zip-top closure, this compact design measures 3.9 x 6.9 x 3.5 inches, ideal for carrying just the essentials in sleek, modern style. Of course, with no internal pouch, you’ll want to make sure the contents of your bag are something you don’t mind showcasing to the world.

This versatile pouch can be styled as is, or act as a canvas for customization—whether adorned with your favorite pins, brooches, or badges, from vintage Chanel to unique, personal touches. Available in classic Black and White with gold-tone hardware, this $2,600 piece combines chic sophistication with a dash of transparency.
Alaïa - Demi Lune
When Dua Lipa isn’t sporting the iconic Chanel 25, she’s rocking Alaïa’s Demi Lune bag, which is quickly becoming the brand’s next mesh must-have. With its sleek crescent shape and on-trend hobo design, this mesh bag is both stylish and practical. Measuring 12.5 x 6.5 x 1 inches, its slim profile makes it the ultimate addition to any overpacked suitcase, effortlessly transitioning from day to night.

Miu Miu
Miu Miu delivers two standout interpretations of its IVY bag this season. One leans into cool-girl edge with shimmering mesh and sequins, while the other embraces evening elegance with intricate beading.
IVY Mesh Bag
For those looking for something more evening-ready, Miu Miu elevates its iconic IVY bag with a dazzling twist. Crafted from delicate white mesh and fully adorned with round shiny sequins, this evening-ready version of the IVY is a far cry from its original leather tote form. While it’s made from mesh, don’t worry – it’s not a see-through situation, rather a glamorous, adorned design.

Measuring 9.4 x 7.8 inches, this small iteration of the IVY comfortably fits an iPhone 15 Pro Max and a small wallet. Designed for hand carry, it also features a removable gold-tone chain with a 25.8-inch drop, giving you the option for shoulder or crossbody styling. The IVY Mesh Bag retails for $3,200.
IVY Beaded Duchesse Bag
Miu Miu offers another take on its beloved IVY bag, this time with a glamorous beaded twist primed for evening events. While it doesn’t follow the classic fishnet vibe, this design reinterprets the mesh aesthetic with intricate beadwork placed over a luxurious Duchesse satin base.
Like the IVY Mesh Bag, this piece measures 9.4 x 7.8 inches, ideal for carrying your essentials for a night out. It also comes with a removable, incredibly delicate gold-tone chain shoulder strap, giving you the option to wear it as a shoulder or crossbody bag. Offered in Platinum and Black, the IVY Beaded Duchesse Bag retails for $3,600.
Chanel - Backpack
Another star of Chanel’s 25S lineup, the new Backpack brings a modern twist to the classic Duma design. Featuring a mesh body with quilted shiny lambskin details, this sleek bag is secured with a flap top and a signature CC turnlock closure, while the chain shoulder straps add a touch of elegance. Practical elements, like side pouch pockets and a front zip pocket, elevate its sport-luxe appeal, making it both stylish and functional.
Available in Black, the Backpack comes in two sizes: the small measures 9.8 x 9.1 x 5.5 inches, and the larger size measures 12.2 x 12.2 x 7.9 inches. Priced at $5,800 for the standard size, this versatile piece is ideal for anyone seeking a bag with a hint of sports-luxe flair.
Savette - Symmetry Pochette
Still the minimalist fashion lover’s must-have, the Symmetry Pochette by Savette brings understated luxury to the forefront. Now fabricated from a combination of a delicate mesh and calf leather, the clean line and geometric-inspired inspired design of the Symmetry Pochette shine.

Its boxy shape and gold-tone clasp closure add a touch of vintage-inspired charm, while maintaining a contemporary feel. Savette’s Symmetry Pochette in mesh retails for $1,290 and comes exclusively in Black.

Longchamp - Le Pliage Filet Mesh Bag
When two French maisons join forces, the result is trés chic. Longchamp, renowned for its iconic Le Pliage tote, teamed up with Filt, the brand behind the classic string shopping bag, in 2021. Fast forward to 2025, and their collaboration is still going strong, with the Longchamp x Filt line evolving in style. Crafted from durable cotton mesh and accented with Longchamp’s signature leather detailing, these bags elevate the classic design. With a flap closure, leather top handles, and the option for shoulder or crossbody wear, the Le Pliage Filet Mesh Bag is as versatile as it is effortlessly stylish.

The large Le Pliage Filet Mesh Bag, measuring 15 x 12.2 inches, expands to fit all your essentials, whether you’re grocery shopping or heading to the beach. However, as it stretches to accommodate more, be sure not to place anything too small inside, as it may slip through the net—literally. To avoid mishaps, try adding a silk scarf as a chic bag liner. The XS version, with a more compact size of 6.7 x 7.1 inches, is ideal for city outings or casual evenings by the beach. Priced at $120 for the large and $95 for the XS, both versions are available in several colors, including Ecru, Mahogany, Black, and Eggplant.
