Antique Hungarian Grain Sack Bags

These bags are made using Antique Hungarian grain sacks, dating from 1910-1930.  The sacks were hand-woven with flax linen, re-known for its durability and strength.  The weaver would sometimes embroider their initials, while the varying stripes would indicate where in the country they came from.  Each sack will make 2 bags, so each one is a very limited edition.
