Of course,
they are usable simply as they are, for instance when shopping in one of those
stores where you bring your own containers. A potato net could continue living
as a potato net. OK, but boring.

One could use them for storage of all sorts of material which either needs airing (sports shoes…), drying (herbs, tea leaves, plant bulbs…) or which needs to be seen in order not to be forgotten.

How obvious! Add some ribbon and some fanciness
here and there and get perfectly functional shoe bags, sports bags, and storage
bags!
