Vintage French UPCYCLED heavy GRAIN SACK TOTE BAG Les Toiles Blanches design

Here is a hand made linen tote bag upcycled from vintage European grain sack fabrics and French antique textiles hand crafted by Les Toiles Blanches.

The vintage grain sacks canvasses are s trong and thick fabrics made of hand-woven linen and hemp.

I have designed it like a French basket with an ovale bottom. It is large and well containing. Thanks to its large leather handles, it is also comfortable. The tote bag is lined with natural antique linen sheet fabric.

This tote bag is one of a kind.

This large striped linen tote bag is a unique, chic and easy-going accessory.

Textile Care

Antique linen is a living material, if you treasure it, it will reward you a hundred times. A lot of antique textiles are so robust and wonderfully easy to wash and maintain. The fibres of these exceptional fabrics were grown without any use of chemical, these textiles are organic. No need to use chemicals to wash antique textiles, a good simple natural soap such as the savon de Marseille is fine for every kind of linen. The textiles can be machine washed on warm. The warmer ithey will be washed, the softer and floppier they will turn. Again, no need to use a softener, a dash of white vinegar or a spoon of baking soda are perfect to maintain these wonderful textiles. Dry them on the line if possible, expose them under sun light to brighten the natural white.
