Linen Bread Bags

Bring the good bread home.

For a crusty loaf from the bakery, a batch of rolls or a long baguette, choose a linen bread bag with the right shape. Our printed bags combine a soft fabric body with a drawstring closure, in Florilegium, Fjære and Dragonfly designs that look at home beside the bread board.

Around the kitchen table

Notes from the Kitchen Table

Choose Around the Loaf

A good fit is more useful than simply choosing the biggest bag. A round sourdough needs width, while a baguette needs a long, narrow shape. Compare the measurements with the bread you usually bring home and leave space to gather the top. The soft fabric can sit beside the bread board or fold away between uses, without asking you to make permanent room for another rigid container.

Notes from the Kitchen Table

A Print with a Place in the Kitchen

Choose the drawing you want to see with your morning toast. Florilegium brings botanical stems, Fjære a coastal detail and Dragonfly a simpler scattered motif. Carry the same print into tea towels or bowl covers if you enjoy a connected set, or let the bread bag stand on its own against plain linen. The useful shape comes first; the pattern gives it its own place in the room.

A Better Fit for Your Daily Loaf

Start with the bread you actually buy or bake. The right bag needs space around the loaf and enough room to close, with a shape that makes sense for your bread board, cupboard or bakery basket.

Which bag should I choose for a baguette?

Choose one of the long baguette bags shown in this collection, rather than assuming a standard loaf bag will fit. Compare the listed measurements with your usual French stick, leaving room at the top for the closure. Wider loaf bags are a different shape for rounder bread and rolls.

Will a linen bag keep every loaf fresh for the same time?

No fixed storage time suits every loaf. Bread type, how much has been cut and the conditions in your kitchen all matter. Use the bag for the dry bread storage described on its product page, allow fresh bakes to cool fully first, and check your bread before eating.

How should I wash a printed bread bag?

Follow the instructions on your chosen bag; the printed range specifies gentle washing and air drying. Empty out crumbs before washing and let the fabric dry completely before putting bread inside again. Check any advice about the print and wooden toggles, as the details vary between designs.
