East German Steel Net Bag $25.00 Steel Thread with Leather Handle 17" x 12" Saxony, GERMANY DDR design still made from thread produced during DDR times, which by now is running out so these are possibly a limited edition. The twined cotton thread covered with paraffin wax was invented at the Bauhaus and when woven into straps, was used by Marcel Breuer for his famous swing chairs. The bag bundles up really tight and should be used for all of the same reasons the cotton bag should be used. Please note the colors can vary.
