Frequently asked

Custom pieces,made withmaterials thatalready havea story.

Thread & Twine transforms locally sourced coffee sacks into handmade, one-of-a-kind pieces designed for long life and everyday use.

Are these bags available to buy online?

Due to limited availability of various coffee sacks at local roasters, Thread & Twine offers customers the ability to submit orders online choosing from the current sacks displayed on the Sack Designs page. Past work is shown as inspiration.

How does ordering online work?

Share the design that you found on the Sack Designs page that you would like to use for your piece. Thread & Twine will follow up about the request, available materials, and next steps. Thread & Twine has 3 products available for production: Espresso Tote Bag, Wine Tote and the Doppio Table Runner. Examples of these are on the Past Work page.

Can I request a custom look?

If you have a specific size, style or even country for the product you would like, Thread & Twine will work with you on creating your custom piece.

Where do the materials come from?

Thread & Twine searches through local coffee roasters seeking coffee bags to craft global, eco-friendly custom pieces.

Are the pieces handmade?

Every custom piece is designed and constructed in-house, offering authentic creativity and transparent craftsmanship.

What makes each piece one of a kind?

The original markings, weave, color, origin details, and natural wear of each coffee sack guide the finished piece. No two begin the same way.

How durable are the bags?

The pieces are made from 100% jute coffee bags with a durable weave, then constructed for everyday carrying and a long second life.

How should I care for my piece?

Spot wash as needed and air dry. The natural jute material should be handled with care, but it is made to be used and carried.

Can a past piece be recreated?

Past pieces can be used as inspiration. Since each coffee sack is repurposed and one of a kind, an exact duplicate may not be possible.

What kinds of pieces can I request?

Thread & Twine offers 3 product types: Espresso Tote Bag, Wine Totes, and the Doppio Table Runner. Other custom pieces can be created.
