I bought these as a lot from a retired farmer in Tarn-et-Garonne which is a department in the Occitanie region . It takes its name from the river Garonne and its tributary the Tarn. Some of the sacks have stenciled lettering with the merchants name, French department and/or images on the front side.

It can be used as wall hanging home decor or an upholstery project.

--- Condition ---

In rustic heavily used vintage condition. Given the age, these pieces have lived a full life and as such have many surface strains, holes, marks, tears in the material and stitches, areas of repair (stitching holes) however I believe this is what makes this piece unique and just adds to its rustic charm, beauty and character. I washed these in an industrial dry cleaning washing machine on the delicate cycle then let them air dry. I iron each one and made sure they no longer smelt like an old farm. They still have a smell of fiber and they do still shed a little fiber from time to time but that can't be removed. If you want to clean them further I suggest dry cleaning them. Please take a look at the photos closely and use ZOOM for detail of the condition of each sack. Please ask me if you are unsure. .
