At home on the table
A bread bag doesn’t have to be invisible. Ours are designed to be part of the table — a pattern you chose, fabric that works as well in a kitchen as it does in a bakery. Something worth leaving out between trips to the bakery rather than stuffing in a drawer.
Built to last
Leave the paper bag at the bakery. Keep the bread fresh at home.
A bakery bag works once. A Flax & Stitch bread bag keeps going — to the bakery and back, washed and ready, for years.
Made from certified Oeko-Tex or Bio cotton, double-layered with an untreated, unbleached bio cotton lining. Fully food safe — BPA-free and PVC-free.
At the bread slicing machine — no paper bag required
Self-service bread slicing machines are a fixture in supermarket bakeries across Europe. Place your uncut loaf in the top, choose your slice thickness, and the machine delivers it at the bottom — where plastic guides hold the loaf together so you can grab it by either end and slide it into your bag, then pull the drawstring closed.
Any bakery will slice a loaf for you on the spot — and put it directly into your Flax & Stitch bag.
The standard Bread Bag fits most regular loaves from the supermarket. For a wider round loaf or a large artisanal bread, the Large Bread Bag gives you the extra room. For a baguette, there’s a bag for that too.
Why two layers?
One layer of cotton breathes. Two layers breathe and insulate.
The outer layer is Oeko-Tex or Bio certified cotton — the fabric pattern you choose. The inner lining is unbleached, untreated organic cotton: no finishes, no coatings, just cotton against your bread.
Cotton breathes — which is what keeps a crust crisp. It’s not a sealed environment, so results vary with the type of bread: dense round loaves and homemade bread keep especially well. When bread ages in a cotton bag, it dries — which means croutons, French toast, or breadcrumbs — rather than going soggy or mouldy.
Many customers find their bread stays fresh noticeably longer than in a plain paper bag.
The bags at home
Machine wash at up to 60°C — or cooler with a normal load. Fold flat and they're ready to go.
