QUESTION : Hunting for a bundle


Hi All-
I know it's been quiet- but I need some help.

I've been playing with the idea of brown paper bundles- like the kind a Jane Austen character would get after buying a new pair of gloves. Items bundled in paper, and tied with string in a way that forms a handle. (Pre-shopping bag.)

I could probably devise something myself- but I'd love to use a more authentic starting point. Has anyone seen these referred to in more detail in a book, or (maybe) seen a template, or reference, or clipart, something?

thanks kids!
