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.

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 ‘unused’ condition, in the original packaging. For what I paid for them I’m not ready to toss them but I honestly don’t know what else I could use them for.
Not quite ready to give them away, but ...
I was really disappointed in these. I'd hoped to quit using plastic to store my loaves of bread, but my first use of these bags has left my loaves dried out and sad. They're pretty enough, and I'll use them for something else, I'm sure.
Time to go look for a good bread box, I think!
Just as pictured
These are beautiful - certainly prettier than having bread stuck in a gallon-sized zip lock bag on the counter. We give them two thumbs up!
