Once the bag of choice for potatoes and produce, if you’re under 40, you may not have seen a functional burlap sack in – well, ever. But if you’re looking for an eco-friendly bag with a bit of vintage charm, but not too much kitsch, Swiss-based handbag maker Ira Grant offers burlap bags that are bright, stylish and fit the bill. You may not be a Marilyn, but you too can turn heads – even in a burlap sack.

Get Into the Sack: Trend/Treat/Treasure http://198.46.88.49/living/home/get-into-the-sack-trendtreattreasure http://198.46.88.49/living/home/get-into-the-sack-trendtreattreasure#respond Tue, 26 Jan 2010 23:58:01 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=8986 Think sumptuous fabrics and fabulous textiles, and chances are that “grain sack” would be the last fabric to come to mind.

Unless, of course, it’s a French grain sack.

The latest trend in interior design? Reusing the humble grain sack to create a look that’s quintessentially Rustic French Chic. From small boutiques (like this fabulous California gem, 3 Fine Grains) to chains like Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, and Anthropologie, the sack has made a comeback in a big way. And even if you can’t afford the real deal (like this divine chair…sigh), you can always get that French Country look by incorporating natural fibers, lettered prints, and stripped furniture into your home.

In need of some further inspiration? Just check out our picks to get that French feel in no time!
