Francesca Bag in Milky — Mesh Summer Tote Bag

Francesca is a mesh summer tote bag from Dolce Far Niente. A soft triangle with a round cut-out in place of a handle, it is carried in the hand or over the forearm. The outside is a dense, open-weave cotton with a pronounced texture — light and breathable, so it feels right in the heat. The milky shade is warm and bright: pair it with linen, a white shirt, sand tones, denim and woven sandals. A cotton tote bag for vacation, summer in the city and slow weekends.

How to care for a fabric bag

Brush lightly or spot-clean with a damp cloth and a little mild soap. Do not machine wash; let it air-dry away from heaters and direct sun, and store it in its dust bag with tissue paper inside.
