Mid century furnitures go so well with these Linen pillows from Rags 2 Riches.

These pillows are from the 1930s until 1945. They are made from Swiss Army WW II bakery division sacks.

Most prints on American Vintage sacks were round, a left over from when there was no industrial weaving and images were printed on barrels.

Advertising was almost childlike in the the first half of the 20th century. This is why I sell them on my website under kids pillows (-;

People in England were so poor back then, they didn't even own a sack. They had to rent one.

One of my favorite mini pillow family: Made from American Vintage Feed sack. The little one is a Heat & Cold pad, which gives off the nicest warmth after microwaving it for 2.5 minutes. All covers are washable.
