DESCRIPTION

The breathable gym tote that goes from workout to weekend.

The Carmen Mesh Gym Tote is built for the days that start at the gym and end somewhere else. Open mesh lets damp workout clothes, swimsuits and towels air out instead of sitting in a closed bag, while a saffiano vegan leather base and trim keep it looking polished enough for the office lobby or the pool deck. Duffel-sized on the inside, tote-shaped on your shoulder.

Why you'll reach for it every day

Breathable mesh body keeps gym clothes, towels and swimwear fresh
Top handles slide over your shoulder; detachable, adjustable nylon strap for crossbody carry
Saffiano vegan leather bottom and accents wipe clean and hold their shape
Silicone feet keep the bag off locker room floors, gym mats and wet pool decks

Smart organization, without the clutter

Two exterior side pockets sized for large drinkware, including a 40 oz Stanley or Owala tumbler
Back exterior pocket for your phone, so it is never at the bottom of the bag
Interior key leash for keys, or to clip in the matching Ivy or Sandy bag for the small things
Wide top opening that zips closed, so nothing falls out in the car or on the bleachers

Built for real life

Gym, yoga, Pilates, tennis and pickleball: shoes, a change of clothes and a water bottle with room to spare
Summer: the mesh beach tote that shakes out sand and dries fast after the pool
Teens: after-school volleyball, basketball, dance and cheer, with a pocket for the phone and a clip for the keys

Premium details that set it apart

Lightweight, quick-drying mesh with saffiano vegan leather base and trim
Detachable, adjustable nylon shoulder strap
Silicone feet
Signature White Elm logo
Available in five colors: Aqua Mint, Cobalt Blue, Tea Rose, Oat and Black

From the 6 a.m. class to the swim meet to a weekend at the lake, the Carmen carries it all and lets it breathe.

What is a mesh tote bag used for?
A mesh tote bag like the Carmen is built for anywhere wet or sandy items need to breathe and dry out, think gym clothes, swimsuits, and pool or beach gear. The open-weave mesh lets air circulate so contents don't stay damp or start to smell, while the saffiano vegan leather bottom and trim add structure and durability.

Is a mesh bag good for the gym?
Yes. Mesh gym totes are popular because they let sweaty clothes and wet towels air out between the gym and the wash, instead of trapping moisture the way a solid fabric or vegan leather bag would. The Carmen's breathable body, side pockets sized for a 40oz Stanley or Owala, and detachable strap make it an easy everyday gym bag.

Can I put a wet swimsuit in a mesh bag?
Yes, that's exactly what mesh bags are designed for. The Carmen's mesh panels let a wet swimsuit or towel breathe on the way home from the pool or beach, so you're not sealing in moisture the way you would with a zippered waterproof bag. For fully wet or sandy items you want to keep separate, the Sandy Waterproof Bag clips onto the Carmen's interior key leash.

How big is the Carmen Mesh Gym Tote?
The Carmen measures 21.5" L x 12" H x 10" D with a 22.5" top opening, big enough for a full gym kit, beach day supplies, or after-school sports gear.

What's the best bag for gym, beach, and pool?
A large mesh tote works well across all three because it's lightweight, breathable, and easy to rinse out or air dry. The Carmen adds vegan leather accents and silicone feet for durability, a detachable strap for wearing multiple ways, and side pockets built for a large water bottle.

Does a mesh bag smell after the gym?
Less than a solid-fabric bag. Because the mesh panels breathe, air moves through the bag instead of getting trapped, which helps damp clothes and towels dry faster and reduces lingering odor between washes.

How do you clean a mesh gym bag?
Wipe down the vegan leather base and accents with a damp cloth, and let the mesh panels air dry fully between uses to prevent odor buildup. Avoid machine washing, since it can stress the mesh weave and the bonded vegan leather trim.
