FAQs
Can I store warm bread in the bag?
No, you should allow your bread to cool completely on a wire rack before placing it in the bag to prevent condensation and mold growth.
Is the material machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable, provided you keep the temperature below 30°C.
How do I prevent the bag from shrinking?
Avoid using a tumble dryer and instead hang the bag to air dry in a well-ventilated area.
Is the linen bag biodegradable?
Yes, the bag is made from natural linen, which is a fully biodegradable material.
Can this bag be used for pastries?
Absolutely, it is well-suited for storing various baked goods, including baguettes and pastries, alongside standard loaves.
Troubleshooting
Bread is drying out too quickly
Ensure the bag is properly closed to minimize airflow, and verify that the bread is fully cooled before placing it inside.
The bag has shrunk after washing
Always wash in cold water below 30°C and avoid tumble drying. If slight shrinkage occurs, gently stretch the fabric while damp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the bag is straightforward: simply place your cooled bread or pastries inside and fold or tie the top to secure them. To ensure the product lasts, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Always machine wash at a temperature below 30°C.
- Drying: Hang the bag to dry naturally in an airy spot. Do not tumble dry, as the heat will cause the natural linen fibers to shrink significantly.
- Storage: Keep in a dry, cool place on your countertop. Avoid placing the bag near direct heat sources like toasters or ovens, as this can dry out the bread prematurely.
