Believe it or not cloth bags (at least in Egypt during the first millenium AD) are pretty common so straps and other components could make up a good many finds, if I remember right theres an article on them in:
"Dress accessories of the 1st millennium AD from Egypt"
I got it from the library so dont have a copy at hand to check...

There's a good many everyday items you can make from cloth, so its worth a look just for a more balanced overview...

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
