Net Bags – Honestly WTF
A string bag were popular in Russia and other former USSR republics where they were called avoska (Russian: авоська). When folded, the avoska takes up very little space, and so it is convenient to take it with you to a purse, a briefcase or a pocket. In times of scarcity in the Soviet Union, people often always carried a string bag with them in case something happened (авось) - maybe they could buy something (usually at lunchtime or on their way home from work). In addition, in Soviet stores there were no plastic shopping bags for shopping, and you had to carry your bag with you.
Авоська - разговорное название сетчатой, сплетённой из суровых нитей хозяйственной сумки, используемой преимущественно для посещения рынков и магазинов. В сложенном виде авоська занимает очень мало места, и поэтому её удобно брать с собою в дамскую сумочку, в портфель или в карман. Во времена дефицита в Советском Союзе люди зачастую постоянно носили авоську с собой на случай — авось удастся что-то купить (обычно в обеденный перерыв или по дороге с работы домой). Кроме того, в советских магазинах не было полиэтиленовых сумок-пакетов для покупок, и сумку нужно было иметь при себе.
