A genuine piece of South African social history, this COTTON laundry bag features a striking Blue, White, and Red geometric floral print. This high-quality, heavy-duty textile is a classic example of the "Hostel Bags" used by school children in the 1960s and 70s to transport laundry between home and boarding school (koshuis).
