Quick Fact
Hessian (Burlap) was first exported from India in the early 19th century, and was traditionally used as backing for linoleum, rugs, and carpet.
Burlap is durable and is one of the most inexpensive material you can lay your hands on. The Hessian cloth made from either jute or sisal and other vegetable fibers is eco-friendly, making it the perfect choice for those who are conscious about the environment.
