burlap sacks
Rough fiber bags
Burlap sacks are bags made from burlap—a coarse, woven fabric of jute or hemp fibers.
They're used for storing and transporting bulk goods like potatoes, coffee beans, or grain.
The rough texture and breathability make them practical for agricultural use.
Burlap sacks appear in imagery of rural life, poverty, or makeshift solutions: dressed in burlap sacks during the Depression.
