Because for some reason people can't stop putting round fruit in nets. 

Photography by Darby Routtenberg and Savannah Scott&nbsp;

It&#39;s a trend&nbsp;so prevalent that it <a href="https://www.thecut.com/2018/07/anti-fashion-fashion-trends-summer-2018.html" target="_blank">needed to be addressed</a>&mdash;why do people keep photographing oranges&nbsp;in <a href="https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shop/kate-net-tote-bag" target="_blank">these</a> mesh bags? Search #meshbag or #netbag on Instagram, and you&#39;ll discover that&nbsp;one in every ten photos has oranges in it. What started out as a campaign to reduce the use of plastic bags for groceries&nbsp;has&nbsp;become an Insta trend that is rivaling avocado toast and latte art.&nbsp;

Although they&#39;re technically considered&nbsp;&quot;grocery bags,&quot;&nbsp;they aren&#39;t&nbsp;marketed that way&mdash;just like Balenciaga&#39;s <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/balenciaga-is-selling-plastic-supermarket-bags-for-1150-2017-12" target="_blank">supermarket bag</a>&nbsp;and <a href="https://mashable.com/2016/03/10/balenciaga-it-bag-thailand-similar/#emB0q_NvbZqb" target="_blank">shopping tote</a>&nbsp;(each costing over $1,000), they&#39;re being sold as real accessories with uses that go beyond the grocery store. This &quot;<a href="https://shop-generalstore.com/products/woven-tote?variant=5491894616095" target="_blank">woven tote</a>&quot; for example, is going for $36, but if you bother to browse a bit, you&#39;ll find they&#39;re widely available for <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cosmos-Cotton-Shopping-Ecology-Organizer/dp/B0178VRR54/ref=as_at?creativeASIN=B0178VRR54&amp;linkCode=w61&amp;imprToken=HB-1ifvGxJPBtg0vpV3NFA&amp;slotNum=6&amp;th=1&amp;ascsubtag=[]st[p]cjige352r0000npy6r55c83a2[i]bbuvKk[z]m[d]D[r]google.com&amp;tag=thestrategistsite-20" target="_blank">$3 each</a>. If you want this bag to carry produce, may I suggest you go for the later? And why limit yourself to oranges when they mostly come in <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=mesh+bag+oranges&amp;source=lnms&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiOz_SG4sncAhUa0IMKHftFA2kQ_AUICygC&amp;biw=1280&amp;bih=635" target="_blank">these red mesh bags</a> anyway?

Who is satisfied by an orange? Do yourself a favour and meet your hunger with a mesh bag filled with burgers and fries instead.  

2. TOTING&nbsp;A CHANGE OF SNEAKERS&nbsp;

Living in the city means that one day soon you'll be stepping in a puddle of pee, or worse. Carrying an extra pair of Supreme X Nike Air Streak Spectrum Plus will put your mind at ease.

3. TRANSPORTING&nbsp;BOOZE TO THE PRE GAME

Show up to the function with a bag of fruit and you're cancelled; turn it up by including a bottle of booze. 

4. CARRYING&nbsp;YOUR FAVORITE BOOKS

5. STORING&nbsp;YOUR SEX TOYS&nbsp;

Are your sex toys loose in your bedside drawer? How gauche! Use a mesh bag to keep your cuffs and vibrator safe and only *slightly* concealed ;).
