Product Insights
The Croissant Filt Mesh Bag by Lemaire, a collaboration with the 1860-founded Filt netting manufacturer, is entirely made in France using Rachel lace looms, with each bag signed by its seamstress. Its crescent silhouette and slouchy drape echo the iconic Croissant bag, while a removable inner pouch converts into a standalone mini crossbody. The mesh is heat-resistant, stretch-proof, fade-resistant, and quick-drying, but the bag cannot fit a 13-inch laptop, accommodating only smaller items. Worn crossbody, it contours to the hip and pairs with any outfit, gaining cultural clout via Blackpink Jennie. At $625 CAD, it is the least expensive Croissant but yields two bags through its detachable pouch.
Verified claims
- Heritage
- Second collaboration with 1860-founded netting manufacturer Filt, entirely made in France.
- Silhouette
- Crescent silhouette and slouchy drape mirror the iconic Croissant bag's form.
- Modular
- The removable inner lining lets the bag switch from a zip-secured commuting configuration to an open net tote.
- Craftsmanship
- Mesh woven on Rachel lace looms; each bag signed with seamstress's name.
- Weaving technique
- Woven on Rachel looms originally designed for lace, producing a fine, uniform mesh with delicate but tensile structure.
- Historical provenance
- The Filt factory was leveled in D-Day bombing and rebuilt from salvaged machinery.
- Revival
- Weaving technique revived in 2000s by Cousins family from a retired worker, leading to luxury collaborations.
- Seamstress
- Each bag bears the first name of the seamstress who sewed it.
- Care
- Polyester mesh is heat-resistant to 300°F, stretch-proof, fade-resistant, and quick-drying.
- Construction
- Woven on Rachel looms originally designed for lace to create a fine, uniform mesh; each bag bears the first name of its seamstress.
- Everyday wear and style
- The crescent mesh drapes softly against the hip, rides securely crossbody, and anchors both casual denim and fluid midi dress outfits.
- Cultural clout
- Blackpink's Jennie was photographed with a leather Croissant; the mesh Croissant Filt shares the same instantly recognizable crescent silhouette.
- Dual mode
- Removable inner pouch is a standalone mini crossbody bag with its own closure.
- Capacity
- Fits a small tablet, wallet, phone, and earbuds; a 13-inch laptop does not fit.
- Modularity
- Removable inner pouch doubles as a water-repellent mini crossbody.
- Wear comfort
- Worn crossbody, the bag contours to the hip and feels secure.
- Design philosophy
- The Croissant Filt marks the second collaboration with Filt and continues Lemaire's evolution of the croissant silhouette.
- Pricing
- At $625 CAD, it doubles the $270 Tory Burch tote but is the least expensive Croissant, and its detachable pouch yields two bags.
- Closure interaction
- The leather ribbon closure on the outer mesh and the zip closure on the inner lining operate independently; the ribbon can secure the mesh even when the lining is removed, or both can be used for extra security.
- Mesh performance
- The polyester mesh withstands heat up to 300°F, resists UV and bleach fading, and holds its shape without gradual stretching.
- Care
- Machine washing is off-limits because the leather trim and stitching would degrade; the outer shell should be hand-spot-cleaned only, while the detachable lining can be hand-washed separately in cool water with mild detergent.
- Lightweight
- The polyester mesh absorbs less than 0.4% of its weight in water, so the bag stays light and dries quickly after rain.

Wear it on the shoulder or across the body
The Lemaire Croissant Filt Mesh Bag is a soft, slouchy crescent-shaped bag with a strap handle that can be worn off the shoulder or across the body. That makes it easy to switch between carrying styles depending on your outfit or how hands-free you want to be.[4,5]
Carrying everyday essentials
The Lemaire x Filt Croissant Mesh Bag has a slouchy shape that contours to hold your essentials while keeping a laid-back elegance.[3]
Two ways to carry it: with or without the inner pouch
The Croissant Filt's inside pouch attaches via a soft Nappa leather drawstring, so you can keep it in for a more structured silhouette or take it out and carry the net bag on its own for a casual tote look. The removable pouch itself is made of water-repelling nylon and closes with a metal and leather snap system, so it can also be used as a small handbag on its own.[1,3,4]
Using the removable nylon compartment as its own mini handbag
The Croissant Filt bag comes with a removable nylon compartment that can be taken out and carried on its own as a separate mini handbag. Made of practical water-repelling nylon, it closes with a shiny metal and leather 2-snap closure. You can also wear the bag with the pouch inside, held in the net via a soft Nappa leather drawstring.[1]
A winter street-style companion
This Lemaire Croissant Bag was carried by Blackpink's Jennie as a handbag companion on a winter outing through London's streets, and the source frames it as her winter must-have. Shoppers drawn to that look can consider it for cold-weather street-style outfits.[2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Croissant Filt Mesh Bag: Choose this if you want a Lemaire x Filt collaboration piece—a crescent-shaped mesh shoulder bag made in France with lamb leather details—that adapts to different looks, since it can be worn with or without its removable inner pouch, and that pouch doubles as its own mini handbag in water-repelling nylon with a two-snap closure. The strap wears off the shoulder or across the body, and the listed dimensions run about 18.75 inches long by 9.5 inches wide, so it suits those after a slouchy, larger silhouette. Note the brand recommends only spot cleaning the net with a damp cloth, which matters if you prefer machine-washable bags.[1,3,4] | Croissant Medium Bag: Choose this if you want a soft crescent-shaped everyday bag in 100% lamb leather described as buttery soft, with a top zip, an external zipped pocket, and a thick padded crossbody strap. The medium size measures 19 inches long, 9 inches high, and 2.25 inches wide with a 100% cotton lining, and owners report it fits a lot, wears comfortably, and has held up with daily use. Keep in mind that one commenter finds this style reads more casual than dressier designer bags, so it suits relaxed, understated outfits best.[6,7,8,9] | Medium Croissant Coated Fabric Bag: Choose this if you want a distinctive crescent-shaped shoulder bag with a sculptural, offbeat look: this one-size variant comes in shiny, high-gloss 100% polyurethane coated cotton with a knotted leather crossbody strap, curved stitched panels, and an exposed top zipper. At 19 inches long by 9 inches high but only 2.25 inches wide, it is a slim, compact bag suited to essentials rather than bulk, with an external zipped pocket and a beige cotton-lined interior slip pocket for organizing small items. Retailer styling notes say the curved profile layers well over knits, tailored jackets, or a sleek slip dress, though the retailer's own descriptive text loosely calls it soft leather while the stated composition is coated cotton.[10,11,12,13,14] |
