I am very particular on the genetic make of rice that I eat. Basmati being the only kind that I "enjoy." I have ate only this brand of rice for over twenty years. And I eat rice five times a week, sometimes more. And so I used to purchase the rice from Sam's Club, in bulk for home use and for food storage lockers (yes I am one that plans far ahead). The bags were kind of a bonus.
I can't tell you how funny it was when my mother first saw the burlap rice bags. They have a large red logo of the company and then a bunch of writing in I am guessing both English and either India or Pakistani writing, what ever that would be. She insisted I give her a couple. As did my sisters. And mother did use them as a purse and for her knitting. And I might add got a lot of complements on them.
Another great possible bag can be made out of an old pair of blue jeans.
