A bag for better bread.
Handmade in Minnesota, these flax linen bread bags will keep your crusty loaf of bread fresh better, and a bit longer, than paper or plastic (which tends to make crust soft and damp). Use them at the dinner table to keep rolls hot longer than a cloth wrap. They're made from a sustainable fabric that will get softer with each wash, and with proper care can last a lifetime.

The quality of the linen material use to make these bags is fabulous. After washing them they have a wonderful soft texture. Plus love the two different sizes. These will come in handy for storing many different items. Thanks, Patricia

they work!
i was a little skeptical when i read about the bread bags but eager to try out. i live alone so i pull bread out of the freezer when needed. i also live in an area with low humidity most of the year, causing breads to dry out quickly.
it preserves the bread better than any other strategy i have tried, up to 3-4 days, then still good for toasting up to 5-6 days. i recommend.
Really disappointed
I also had hoped to keep bread in these rather than plastic but my fresh loaves were hard as rocks overnight, no better than if they had just been left sitting on the counter. I was even more disappointed to find that they could only be returned in āunusedā condition, in the original packaging. For what I paid for them Iām not ready to toss them but I honestly donāt know what else I could use them for.
