Details
A beautiful antique Romanian grain sack woven from heavyweight homespun linen and softened by decades of use.
Featuring original woven stripe details and remarkable hand-stitched repairs, each patch tells the story of a textile that was valued, mended and kept in use for generations. We love pieces like this because the repairs become part of the design, creating something that feels closer to folk art than fabric.
Perfect draped over a chair, used as a table covering, displayed on a wall or transformed into an oversized floor cushion.
Approx. 120 x 150cm.
As with all antique textiles, signs of age, wear and historic repairs are part of their charm and authenticity.
Why we love it..
The best textiles are the ones that wear their history proudly.
This antique Romanian grain sack has survived decades of hard work, and every patch and repair tells part of that story. Rather than hiding the mends, they're celebrated, creating a piece that feels beautifully honest and full of character.
We love these stuffed with old duvets and forgotten cushions. The sack is already stitched on three sides, so all you need to do is fill it and sew the final end closed. Instant oversized floor cushion with a hundred years more character than anything you'll find on the high street.
No two are ever the same.
Materials + Care
The majority of our pieces are vintage or handmade and are chosen for their character as much as their beauty.
• Natural signs of age and wear are part of their story.
• Spot clean where possible.
• Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight.
• Professional cleaning is recommended for larger textiles and rugs.
• Wool and natural fibres benefit from occasional airing and gentle care.
Kantha textiles are made from layers of reclaimed sari cloth and are designed to be lived with and loved. Should your piece ever need a little extra care, I am always happy to send complimentary Kantha patches from my collection of scraps for sympathetic repairs. Sometimes the mending simply becomes part of the story.
