Why a Linen Bread Bag Works

Bread stales. How you store it determines how fast. Linen creates the right conditions to slow that down.

Bread Needs to Breathe

Fresh bread releases heat and moisture. Linen absorbs both — and the bread stays fresh.

It allows air to circulate around the bread while absorbing excess moisture: enough to keep the crumb soft, enough to keep the crust crisp. The bread stays in the condition it was meant to be in.

It Gets Better With Use

A new linen bag is slightly stiff. After a few uses, it softens and conforms. Linen fiber strengthens with washing — a bag used daily for years performs just as well as it did on day one. Often better.

Easy to Keep Clean

Shake out the crumbs. It can be washed by hand or in the machine. Hang to dry. Linen dries quickly — ready to use again the same day.
