These are bags for the Miele cylinder vacuum, and they do the job fantastically well. However, in my opinion, they go beyond mere utilitarianism, and each represents an individual (if identical) work of art. From the moment the box arrived, I was fascinated by the shape and texture of these small and perfectly formed creations.
I took one to work with me, and have placed this in a frame on my desk. I also placed one in my car so that in traffic jams I can gaze upon it and dream of special times.
There are four in the pack, and I have used one so far for its intended and prosaic function. Whenever I have visitors, I show them the vacuum, and then offer to show them the bag. Many have never seen a dustbag for a vacuum cleaner, as they own bagless models. When they see how this bag fits in the cylinder cleaner, they all want one. Last week, I showed four farmers from France how the cleaner and bags work, The week before I had a six stunt men from Sicily. They said that the technology was very interesting, and one vowed to have a parachute made out of the same material for his next film.
I feel that one is doing more than buying a dustbag here. The name and the sophistication of the material mean that you are buying something with a pedigree; if you are caught with this dustbag in your hand, you won't feel embarrassed. You can show it to guests, and use it as a work of art. I know of a man in Fife who won't go shopping without one. I can understand why.
