Question 1

What are the dimensions of the Tonsiba Brass Mesh Bag?

Accepted Answer

The Tonsiba Brass Mesh Bag measures 22 × 22 cm · 18 cm handles (width × height × depth). It comfortably fits everyday essentials — phone, wallet, sunglasses case, small water bottle. It is part of the knitted brass bag line.

Question 2

What is the Tonsiba Brass Mesh Bag made of?

Accepted Answer

The Tonsiba Brass Mesh Bag is knitted from fine brass wire — one continuous thread, no seams and no separate rings — then tin-plated at about 4 μm for its pale silver finish. The tin layer keeps the colour cool and stable rather than warming into a brass patina. The full material breakdown and TPU vs PVC comparison is in our material guide.

Question 3

How much does the Tonsiba Brass Mesh Bag cost?

Accepted Answer

The Tonsiba Brass Mesh Bag is £95 GBP. UK shipping is free. International shipping is available at checkout. Prices include any applicable UK taxes.

Question 4

Is the Tonsiba Brass Mesh Bag in stock?

Accepted Answer

The Tonsiba Brass Mesh Bag is available for pre-order. Pre-orders are listed and orderable now; each bag is packed by hand and ships when the next production run lands in the UK, typically within 14 days.

Question 5

How heavy is the Tonsiba Brass Mesh Bag? Is it tiring to carry?

Accepted Answer

382 g empty, weighed not estimated — lighter than a typical 400 g tin of beans. Linked metal constructions (chainmail, ring mesh) run much heavier for the same footprint; knitted wire is the lightweight branch of the metal-bag family.

Question 6

Does the Tonsiba Brass Mesh Bag have a lining? Will small things fall out?

Accepted Answer

There is no lining — the mesh is deliberately sheer, like a market net made of metal. The knit opening is approximately 3 mm, so anything larger than that — keys, cards, a lipstick, a phone — cannot slip through. Genuinely tiny loose items (a single earring, a coin on edge) belong in a pouch inside the bag.

Question 7

What is the difference between tin-plated brass and raw brass?

Accepted Answer

Raw brass is warm gold and develops a darker patina as it oxidises. The Tonsiba Brass Mesh Bag's brass wire carries a tin plating of approximately 4 μm, which is what gives it a silver tone rather than gold and puts a barrier between the brass and the air. The underlying construction is identical — one continuous knitted brass wire.

Question 8

Will the Tonsiba Brass Mesh Bag snag my knitwear?

Accepted Answer

The knitted loops are closed and rounded rather than cut ends, which is the construction least prone to catching. We have not yet completed a structured snag test across fabrics (cashmere, silk, fine knit, nylon, linen) — results will be published on this page once the test matrix is done, rather than claimed in advance. Our honest general guidance on mesh and delicate fabrics is in the durability guide.

Question 9

Can the Tonsiba Brass Mesh Bag be repaired?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because the bag is knitted from one continuous wire, there are no separate rings or plates to source — a loose loop is worked back into the knit, the way a jumper is repaired. The 316 stainless steel rivets that hold the handles are standard hardware. Contact us before attempting a repair yourself.

Question 10

How is the Tonsiba Brass Mesh Bag different from Whiting & Davis or Rabanne mesh bags?

Accepted Answer

Different constructions: Whiting & Davis uses stamped-plate ring mesh and Rabanne's 1969 line is chainmail (linked discs) — both opaque, fluid and heavier. The Tonsiba Brass Mesh Bag is knitted from one continuous fine brass wire, so it is sheer, stretchy and light (382 g measured).

Question 11

How do I clean and care for the Tonsiba Brass Mesh Bag?

Accepted Answer

Keep it dry and wipe it occasionally with a soft dry cloth. Do not use abrasive metal or brass polish — the tin plating is only about 4 μm thick and polish cuts through it. Avoid alcohol, acetone, bleach and solvent-based cleaners, and store away from prolonged damp, direct sunlight and heat. The full method is in our brass bag care guide at preon.store/guides/brass-bag-care.
