Mercado - Protect Your Produce
Scientist and San Francisco foodie, Darya Pino, loves buying fresh produce at her local farmer’s market. What she doesn’t love is getting home and discovering that half of her goods are damaged. We teamed up with Darya and her blog, Summer Tomato, to build a better farmer’s market bag.
Now you can shop without dropping. Mercado is the ultimate farmer’s market bag, with pockets to protect delicate fruits and veggies, loops to hold bottles in place, and compartments to keep everything organized. A wide adjustable strap lets you choose the right length for carrying, so that you’re as comfortable as your produce!
Features:
-4 small interior pockets for delicates (tomatoes, pears, etc.)
-2 medium interior compartments
-1 large interior compartment with 2 elastic loops to hold bottles in place
-2 small exterior pockets for quick access items (cash, keys, etc.)
-Wide adjustable cotton strap to keep you comfortable
Materials:
-Nylon mesh
-Cotton and cotton canvas
Dimensions:
-15.5" h x 13" w x 8" d

i shop several times a week. i walk. farmers market perfect. regular store perfect (i have not used produce bags for almost 10yrs and this bag aids in this "keep separate so as not to crush" probability). heavy duty sewing thru and thru and the webbing material used is much higher in quality than expected. anyone seeing this in a store and able to feel and see the construct would know that the price is more than fair. the cross-body strap pushes this bag into the "cannot be patterned more perfect" category. frequently stopped and asked about where to source it out. suggestions?... well... seeing how i refuse to put any type of chemical on the bag to ward off stains, i wish it came in colours so as to aid in hiding the inevitable future "oh man, i cannot remove this spot" moments. i am crazy grateful to have this in my hands and will be purchasing a few more to keep in my closet as backstock.
Envious Stares Guaranteed
I own this, and have given it as a gift to a farmer's market regular. We both get the same reaction--envious stares from others. This was way higher quality than I expected. A good gift for a "greenie" or anyone who frequents outdoor markets.
