Trend Alert: Grain Sack Design

Vintage Grain Sacks are popping up everywhere. What was once considered a utilitarian vessel for the storage and transport of dry goods has now become the upholstery fabric of choice for designers everywhere. Used to cover accent pillows, upholster chairs, and even as artwork themselves, these one-of-a-kind grain sacks have become a statement among designers who embrace the re-use of old, time-worn, and collected materials.
Check out the link below to learn more about this unique trend in an article written for the Orange County Register.

We're expecting a fabulous new shipment of pillows made from these unique vintage textiles soon.
Be sure to visit us soon for first dibs on our one-of-a-kind items!
