burlap sack
Coarse fiber bag
A burlap sack is a bag made from burlap—a coarse, loosely woven fabric of jute or hemp fibers.
Used for storing and transporting bulk goods like potatoes, coffee beans, or grain.
The rough texture and durability make burlap sacks utilitarian rather than decorative: We filled burlap sacks with sand for the flood barrier.
Also called a gunny sack.
