Burlap bags – the new style

As an alternative to leather, man made fibers or woven tapestry bags, burlap bags make an excellent all-purpose, durable carrying solution. They look almost like a standard canvas duffel bag, but burlap bags are much more flexible and durable. In fact, so tough are these bags, that they can be used for storing and transporting anything from machine parts, ranch supplies or anything else you need to get from A to B.

In case this has you thinking that something this practical could never be stylish, then think again! Burlap is a natural fiber, and thus reacts very well to being printed or painted on, and burlap bags can be bought customized, or you can even buy one and customize it yourself.

The process that goes into making burlap bags is very similar to other canvas style tote, duffel bags or sacks. This weaving is the secret of their durability and usefulness.

The loose weaving technique employed in the manufacture of most burlap bags ensures that they absorb moisture or grease, but allow the flow of air in and round the contents. This makes them highly useful for storing items on a long term basis, and the flexibility of the loose weaving allows them to flex during transit, thus reducing wear and tear.

They come in a variety of sizes, and are a very low cost, high quality alternative to other tough fabrics. First used in industry, burlap bags have now become relatively well accepted as fashionable, largely thanks to the possibility to print and paint on the fabric.
