The repurposed burlap in this item is from a coffee shipping sack that was once used to transport coffee beans. Burlap is made from natural plant fibers. It is biodegradable and may shed. Measures about 15 x 6 inches. The assortment of buttons are both old and new. The parrots beads are individually hand painted so each one is a bit unique. Fully interfaced. Lined in a batik dragonfly print. Detachable wristlet handle. I welcome questions before purchase, so please ask. Spot clean recommended.
