From Grain Sacks and Espadrilles

espadrille cushions mfv53
The throws and cushions/pillows in the bottom 2 pictures are made from vintage Hungarian grain sacks and the top ones are made from left over espadrille fabric.
Pretty stunning eh?
From a British company called MFV53 - don't ask it's a man thing, named after some sort of boat.

There is a French/Basque company who still today sells espadrille linen: Artiga. They sell for EUR 7 the meter. It's called "Toile à espadrille" in French.

These are fabulous - but wouldn't the espadrille fabric be a bit itchy?
