The bags are "natural" but a very dark. They are beige. Then they are very rough, or roughly woven and the fabric is very thin. Did she want to paint for a child's birthday to you with Filztextilstiften, with nothing between them set the color would be determined by printed on the bottom. Definitely not suitable for my project, I am disappointed by the quality and and will send them back. Also in the picture the white bags look, they are not! The title indicates nature, as image and text does not fit together!
