What is Preon?
Preon (preon.store) is an independent UK accessories brand selling wire bags — sculptural handbags knitted from fine brass wire, with a soft metallic sheen. Everything ships worldwide from the United Kingdom, UK delivery is free, and every order is backed by a 14-day return window.
Was Preon previously called spoii.world?
Yes. Preon is the same independent UK studio that previously traded as spoii.world; the brand renamed to Preon in 2026 and now lives at preon.store. Orders, policies and the product line carried over unchanged.
What is a wire bag?
A wire bag — known as a wire-mesh bag in Chinese — is a handbag knitted or woven from fine metal wire. The result is a sheer, flexible metallic mesh that holds its sculptural shape, weighs very little, and shows a hint of what it carries, the way a market net does, but with a shine closer to jewellery than utility.
What is the Tonsiba bag?
Tonsiba is Preon's wire bag: a handbag knitted from fine brass wire with twin flat riveted handles. The body measures 22 × 22 cm with 18 cm handles, it costs £95 GBP, and each bag is made to order and dispatched within 14 days.
What is the Tonsiba made of?
Tonsiba is knitted from fine brass wire — a knitted brass mesh. Brass is a copper–zinc alloy with a warm metallic tone that develops a natural patina over time and polishes back to a shine with a soft cloth. No animal-derived materials are used.
How much does a Preon wire bag cost?
The Tonsiba wire bag is £95 GBP. Prices are in pounds sterling and shown including any applicable taxes for UK customers.
How much can a wire mesh bag carry?
More than it looks. The knit stretches around a surprising load — a paperback, a water bottle, fruit, keys, phone and the small essentials of a day. Because the mesh is knitted rather than rigid, it slouches around whatever it carries and folds flat when empty.
Where does Preon ship?
Preon ships worldwide from the United Kingdom. UK delivery is free. International shipping is a flat £30, except the British Virgin Islands and US Virgin Islands which are £50. Every bag is made to order and dispatched within 14 days; transit time is in addition to this.
What is the return policy?
Preon offers a 14-day return window from the date of delivery, in line with UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. Items must be unused and in original condition. UK returns are free; international return postage is the customer's responsibility unless the item is faulty.
How do I care for a brass bag?
Keep it dry, and wipe it now and then with a soft dry cloth. Brass naturally darkens into a patina with time and touch — many owners like the aged look; if you prefer the original shine, buff gently with a soft cloth or a brass polishing cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, perfume spray and prolonged damp.
Will a metal mesh bag pass airport security?
Yes — a wire bag is fine to fly with. It may show up on the X-ray scanner as a metallic object and occasionally gets a second look, but it is not a prohibited item in hand luggage. Empty it into a tray like any other bag.
Where is Preon based?
Preon is an independent accessories brand based in the United Kingdom. The brand sells direct-to-consumer at preon.store and on Instagram at @preon.store.
