Early European grain sacks were made from hemp and flax and were handmade right on the farms on which the hemp or flax was grown. After harvesting, the hemp was cleaned, spun into thread and subsequently woven into a heavy, durable fabric. That fabric was used to make large bags for grain, feed and other agricultural products for efficient transport from farm to marketplace. The distinct and familiar striping often seen on grain sacks was also a way for farmers to identify their sacks so the bags could be easily returned to their rightful origin. The unique character of each bag holds the history of a 19th century farm. This makes this fabric the perfect vehicle to create beautiful one of a kind bags.

This sweet bag is neither over sized or small. It’s just right. The a-symmetric stripe layout & the small red stripe on the handle give this bag a really unique feel. Theres a convenient pocket on the front & 2 additional inside pockets. The top zips securely shut & its lined in our favorite ticking stripe. The hand cut & finished cross body strap will soften & patina over time & can also be removed if you prefer to use it as a handbag. The bonus of this style is that it’s completely washable. remove the red zip pull, the cross charm & the crossbody strap & you’re good to go. (Cold wash recommended , lay flat to dry & run an iron over it when dry. )

This is truly a forever bag that can accompany you on all your adventures & always be a classic go-to.
