Dear Lauren, The bags carry a date and logo, or can be identified easily when you reference the IOLI bulletins. Therefore, I keep them with lots of other lace ephemera of the 20th-21st centuries. In combination with the library and lace collection here it would be a start for my lace

I have a couple wreath holder bags. They are the soft sided kind, and no bunp in the middle. They will hold a 24 pillow, or two. They are deeper than needed for one pillow. The negative point is the wording on the side...Seasons Greetings and a picture of a wreath. I don't like to carry
