The charm of this grain sack trend is its nod to durability and its humble beauty. The traditional stripe colors are blue but you can find them in red and gray combinations as well. Traditional sacks often had designs or numbers on them representing the family who owned them. This made it easier for the miller to know which sacks to fill for which family.

The simple design element is easy to replicate onto home decor items such as trays, benches, tables and pillows.
