Decorating Ideas Using Burlap

Hessian (Burlap) was first exported from India in the early 19th century, and was traditionally used as backing for linoleum, rugs, and carpet.

Over the ages, Hessian has been used to transport beans, grains, and even vegetables. Its coarse texture and breathable fabric resists condensation and spoilage, making it perfect to store coffee beans.
