This trend is simultaneously an #aesthetic and a nod to fashion's increasingly anti-waste attitude.

The product of clever belt-tightening techniques thought up by thrifty mothers needing to clothe their children in the late 19th century, flour sack garments have a long and storied history. Farm families made do with whatever they had, wasting nothing that could be repurposed; throughout the Great Depression and World War II, people spun frugality into creativity, transforming flour bags and animal feed sacks (or, locally, katsa) into dresses, undergarments, towels, curtains, blankets, baby diapers, and other household necessities. In fact, once grain companies caught wind that these fabrics were being made into clothing, they began printing patterns onto their packaging to attract penny-pinching farmwives.
Fast forward to 2021, where sustainability is key and ethical fashion steadily burgeons. Upcycled flour sack pieces are simultaneously an #aesthetic and a nod to a style movement that's increasingly anti-waste&mdash;here, a lightning-quick roundup of eight stores you can shop the trend from.
