BURLAP, ITALIAN STYLE

The expected: these Italian coffee bean sacks make an eye catching display.






The unexpected:























Some of my fondest moments are being out in the world wandering around, expecting the unexpected, and voila, there it is! The most ordinary use of something so common juxtaposed with fine linens, wools and silks becomes extraordinary. Such are these stunning window displays recently seen while on holiday in Venezia.
