- Discovered in the markets of Portugal, these linen-cotton drawstring bags are made by hand by local artisans in the small village of Almalaguês. These pieces represent a tradition of handiwork that spans centuries, and lives on today in the looms of a few remaining weavers.

- These linen bags are multipurpose, but we think they're especially ideal for travel. Tuck them in your suitcase as storage for delicates or shoes. We also love using them to store linens at home.

- Multiple styles and colors available. Shop them all here.

- These are new items, made by hand. Variations are part of their inherent beauty. Please see our detailed photos.

- Anglo-Italian author and adventuress Freya Stark was the O.G. badass: fluent in Arabic and Turkish, she blazed her way across the Middle East and Afghanistan at a time when few Westerners, much less women, dared to tread there. Praised as a “poet of travel,” her evocative writing earned her fans like Vita Sackville-West and her memoirs make for exhilarating reading.

- This first volume of her memoirs, from a second printing, retells her unconventional childhood: born in Paris in 1893 and brought up in France, Italy, and England, she had no formal schooling, but spoke three languages by the time she was five. She was a nurse on the Italian front in World War I, then learned Arabic and mountaineering in the Alps. With original photographs and a graphic, vivid cover, it will draw admirers to your cocktail table like a magnet.

- This book is in good vintage condition. Its dust jacket, which is secured in plastic, has a few small tears. The pages are clean and the volume is well intact. This title is part of a 4-book set, each sold separately.
