Lovely Finds: Vintage and French Grainsacks

December 03, 2011


Revisiting vintage linen-hemp grain sacks
from France today for their beauty and also
to offer a few from the 1930s up for sale.

   

Dated, faded, large, and highly IMPERFECT
(read: areas of discoloration, little holes,
and (what I happen to ADORE)
assorted hand-stitched mends, some of which
are sewn with a rust colored thread.


 


 


a simple addition since i get easily bored





 
all photos mine

A feedbag shrug? I'm thinkin' um. No.


Peace to you right where you are.

    The grain sacks rock. They are so French provence and who doesn't like that.
