A question here. Bags like these are still in use and as far as I know still made exactly the same way. No major change in the last x thousand years. I found pics like these:

Now... instead of re-creating them, why not just buy them? Is there anyone here who could source such bags? Living in Africa or knowing someone who does? Do Indians use bags like these? Does anyone have any access to this stuff?
As I understand it these bags last for a limited time, so engaging some manufacturer to make them would provide them with a pretty steady source of income...
