| Cold machine wash and dry before use (your Swag is purposely oversized and will slightly shrink on the 1st wash) | |
| Dampen Swags under the tap and wring out the excess water | |
| Pack fruit, veggies & leafy greens into your Swag | |
| Place in the crisper of the fridge | |
| BOOM! Enjoy 2 weeks or more of freshness (on average) |
The Swag is scientifically proven to keep fruit and veggies fresh for two weeks or more*
The Swag is easy to use; cold machine was before use and dry naturally - this activates the fibres, then pop your Swag bag under the tap so it’s slightly damp, wring out any excess water, pop your fruit and veggies inside the bag and store in the crisper of your fridge**. Enjoy 2 weeks or more of fresh, crisp fruit and veggies!
Check every couple of days that your Swag has retained its dampness (give it a drizzle of water whenever it feels dry). We suggest popping your Swag into a cold wash cycle every 2 to 3 weeks (preferably with a non-toxic washing powder). Dry in full sun if possible.
The Swag is purposely oversized and will slightly shrink on the 1st wash. As the Swags are 100% natural and do not contain anti-mould agents, It is important to wipe down your fridge with vinegar regularly and wash your fruit and veggies before storing them in your Swags to avoid bacteria.
Remember, if you’re just water, you don’t need to take everything out, you can simply drizzle water over the exterior of the Swag while they are filled with produce.
*Applied Horticultural Research: The Swag Storage Testing, 2021 | Broccolini, parsley and blueberries kept in The Swag remained fresh and marketable for more than two weeks. In some cases, storage life increased up to four weeks. Studies found The Swag increased storage life of blueberries by 38% compared to ordinary punnets only, and increased storage life of veggies like broccoli for up to 4 weeks (25% longer than plastic).
** If you’re unable to put your Swag into a crisper, the Swags can happily be stored on your fridge shelves. However, you'll just have to dampen them a lot more, and more frequently as they tend to dry out faster when not in the crisper (where the humidity is better controlled). Whenever you open the fridge, check your Swags and if they are dry, run them under the tap so they are damp.

More sturdy and stiffer than I expected. Love that it's all natural materials and will last. I would love a slightly larger and waterproof size that stands up on its own, for the electric toothbrush and other items. This is more so used for make up.
Gone are the days I feel guilty about single use paper towels. These are more absorbent than I thought and i use them daily now. I’ll buy more soon.
So handy to have these in your bag when you’re heading off to the veggie store! Clean and earth friendly … so satisfying!
A portion of every Swag product sold goes to Destiny Rescue helping children trapped in modern-day slavery.
The Swag teamed up with Applied Horticultural Research, to scientifically test the efficacy of The Swag’s design.
Say good-bye to plastic, live healthier & save the planet. Made from 100% compostable, toxic-free cotton. Ethical & Fair-trade.
The Swag is made of 100% cotton and 0% plastic. And the secret to having 14 days of fresh produce is in three unique layers, that provide hydration and breathability.
The outer layer protects, yet allows produce to take on oxygen as needed.
The thickest layer; holds the bulk of the water for continuous hydration.
The balancing layer; allows produce to breathe & hydrate at its own pace.
