The eco-friendly alternative to plastic for fresher, longer-lasting bread.
Few things beat the smell of freshly baked bread, especially when it’s a crusty sourdough or artisan loaf from your local bakery. But storing bread properly can be tricky. Plastic traps moisture, paper dries it out, and before long your beautiful loaf has gone stale. That’s where a cotton bread bag comes in. But what are the key benefits and how does it work?
1. Keeps bread fresh for longer
A cotton bread bag allows your loaf to breathe. Unlike plastic bags that trap moisture and cause sweating, The Swag’s multi-layered organic cotton design helps regulate airflow and humidity. This prevents mould while keeping your bread soft and delicious for longer.
Simply place your loaf inside, draw both strings tightly to push out excess air, and store in the fridge, freezer, or pantry. Your bread will stay fresher for longer - without sweating in plastic.
The award-winning Swag Bread Bag is now available in GOTS Certified Organic Cotton - the perfect non-toxic alternative to plastic. Designed to keep your bread fresher for longer, it’s reusable, compostable, and ethically made.
2. Perfect for sourdough and artisan loaves
The Organic Bread Swag is ideal for large, round, or long loaves baked using traditional artisan methods. Whether you’re storing sourdough, baguettes, or crusty bread rolls, this sourdough bread bag helps maintain the perfect texture - crisp on the outside, soft on the inside.
It’s not recommended for store-bought, pre-sliced bread, as these loaves are specifically designed to stay fresh in plastic packaging.
3. Sustainable and reusable
Every Swag Bread Bag is made from 100% GOTS Certified Organic Cotton, meaning it’s free from toxic dyes and chemicals. It’s reusable, washable, and completely compostable at the end of its life, making it an eco-friendly choice that’s kind to both your bread and the planet.
By choosing a reusable bread bag, you’re helping to reduce plastic waste and take a small, meaningful step towards a more sustainable kitchen.
4. Multi-layered design for maximum freshness
The Swag Bread Bag includes our patented multi-layered fabric technology and double drawstring design. These layers work together to reduce airflow while still allowing your bread to breathe, preventing excess moisture and extending freshness.
5. Machine washable and built to last
Each cotton bread bag is made to stand the test of time. Simply shake out crumbs, turn it inside out, and cold machine wash when needed. Allow to dry naturally in the sun (avoid the dryer to prevent shrinkage).
We recommend washing before first use - your bag may shrink slightly, but it’ll be ready to keep your bread fresh for years to come.
6. A healthier, non-toxic alternative
The Organic Bread Swag is completely free from plastics and synthetic fibres, meaning no toxins come into contact with your food. It’s a safe, breathable, and non-toxic solution for families who care about what goes into (and around) their food.
How to use your Organic Bread Swag
1) Wash your bag before first use (cold water).
2) Place your loaf, rolls, or breadsticks inside.
3) Draw both strings tightly to remove excess air.
4) Store in the fridge, freezer, or pantry.
5) For extra protection, wrap a sheet of baking paper around your bread before placing it in the bag.
Note: If your bread comes in a plastic bag, it’s best to keep it that way - that’s how manufacturers designed it to stay fresh. The Swag Bread Bag is best for freshly baked loafs.
