* One-of-a-kind patchwork bag created from panels of 1800s and 1900s laundered agricultural grain sacks. The robust panels, which make up the bag’s face and rear, are irregularly shaped and sized to echo the mosaic character of our local landscape. Varying in tone, they are juxtaposed artfully, and we’ve incorporated some raw, raised edges.
* Front, rear and sides are beautified by original stencilling, all in black. The date 1921, decorative flourishes, peasant patches and angled panels - as well as the block-printed Bonfield emblem - adorn the bag’s face. A No. 10 occupies a side panel, and ornamentation on the back includes more original type and charming mends.
*Fully lined in a delightful brown & blue striped Irish linen.
* Internal pocket.
* Heavy-duty, antiqued brass zip closure - with suitably agricultural baling twine zip pull.
* Shoulder strap is a repurposed antique belt, circa 1930s/40s. It is of handsome dark brown leather - which we’ve fed - and comes with its original buckle. The strap is fixed length, and was stitched into place using waxed linen thread.
* Dimensions: Height - 58cm, Length - 54cm, Depth - 8cm
