* 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.
* Front, rear and sides are beautified by original stencilling, all in black. There is the date 1873, a faded boot, as well as names in different typefaces and a raw, raised edge. The Bonfield emblem, a block-printed earthbound & celestial plough within a double border, is also accommodated.
* 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 French military belt - dated 1914 - and is naturally robust. It’s made of handsome, dark brown leather, which we’ve fed. The strap is double holed, comes with the original buckle, and is fully adjustable. It was stitched into place using waxed linen thread.
* Dimensions: Height - 51.5cm, Length - 58cm, Depth - 7.5cm
