Women's The Stripe Mesh Small Tote Bag

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Marc Jacobs Women's The Stripe Mesh Small Tote Bag brings a jolt of saturated color and unapologetic playfulness to summer’s lineup. The mesh body feels light, refreshingly utilitarian, and perfect against sun-drenched afternoons—the kind of semi-sheer PVC and polyester blend that reveals just enough of what’s inside. Bold, varsity-inspired stripes add a graphic edge, while the knotted rope handles recall a day at Coney Island or a surfside boardwalk, infusing the piece with an off-duty cool that’s distinctively Marc Jacobs.

This tote nails the "carry it all, but keep it chill" brief. Those top handles give a satisfying grab-and-go option for short errands or iced coffee runs, while the crossbody strap (removable and adjustable) lets you sling it on when you’re biking downtown or weaving through a street fair. Inside, you’ll find a slip pocket and card slot for the daily essentials—keys, Metrocard, gloss—with a top zip closure to keep everything corralled but accessible. Despite its small scale, it holds sunglasses, wallet, and just enough extras for a full day out, and it layers effortlessly with everything from tank dresses to cutoffs and oversized poplins.

Marc Jacobs’ accessories have long riffed on playful utility, turning the practical into the must-have. The Stripe Mesh Tote speaks to the current mood for oversized branding and sports-inflected details, channeling the same insouciance as runway-favorite The Tote Bag—only in a punchier, more petite profile. Try it with sneakers and vintage denim for a New York-casual twist, or swing it poolside where color rules the scene.
