bread bags

A few years ago I began designing and sewing my own bread bags in a range of natural and organic fabrics. The large size is great for sourdough loaves, or if you prefer a sliced loaf the square base is designed to fit over the loaf on the slicing machine. They are machine washable between uses.

​Generally, bread is best consumed fresh, but if you find your bread lasts more than 2 days it will begin to dry. Natural fabrics, such as cotton calico, hemp blends and linens, allow for some air circulation and reduced mould. An option is to place the whole fabric bag with bread inside a 'plastic keep bag' at home that will retain moisture and still reduce plastic waste.

Sliced bread is also fine to place in the freezer if you plan to keep your loaf longer than 2 days,

If you do find yourself with a couple of drier slices left over at the end of the week, it’s a great opportunity to get creative - think croutons, french toast, or italian panzanella.

Available in three different fabric types, all 100% plastic free, sewn at home by me.
