{"product_id":"beeswax-bread-bag","title":"Beeswax Bread Bag","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou paid seven dollars for that loaf on Saturday. By Monday you're sawing the dry end off and calling it toast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBread doesn't go stale from air. It goes stale from the wrong air. A plastic bag traps the moisture the crust is trying to shed, so the crust turns soft and the loaf turns mouldy. A bread bin does the opposite and pulls the water straight out of the crumb. Cotton lined with beeswax sits between the two: it lets vapour move slowly, so the crust stays dry and the crumb keeps its water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe wax is the whole point\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt isn't a coating sprayed onto the surface. Food-grade beeswax is worked down into the weave of the cotton, so the cloth itself breathes at the rate bread needs — enough to let steam escape, not so much that the crumb dries out. Look closely at the lining and you can see the wax sitting between the threads, slightly translucent where it's thin. Press it and it gives like waxed cloth, not like plastic film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sprayed coating reads as an even film on top instead, and it starts lifting at the folds. That is the difference between a bag that works for years and one that stops being waxed cloth after a few months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bag is unbleached cotton lined with that wax. The mouth rolls down and closes with a zip that runs right around the body, and a webbing strap clips over the top with a buckle on each side, so it hangs on a hook instead of taking up counter space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBeeswax worked into the weave — the crust stays crisp instead of going soft in condensation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits a full bakery boule, a Dutch-oven loaf, or a supermarket sliced loaf still in its wrapper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRolls down, zips shut, and hangs from its own strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWipes clean in under a minute — cold water, no machine, no hot water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhen the wax eventually wears thin, it can be refreshed at home rather than binned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA set of two bags or a set of four — every bag in the set the same colour, beige or white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42.5 × 31.5 cm (16.7 × 12.4 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e158 g (5.6 oz) per bag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCotton, lined with food-grade beeswax\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClosure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoll-down top with a zip, plus a webbing strap with a side-release buckle on each side\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeige, white\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWipe with cold water, hang to dry.

Lay the bag flat on a lined tray, a few minutes in a low oven, and the wax melts back into the weave. A bag you can repair is a bag you keep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery.\u003c\/strong\u003e Tracked, shipped from our warehouse in China. Typically 8–14 days to the US; Canada, the UK and Australia travel on other lines and can take a little longer. We're not going to promise you two days and then email you an apology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it won't do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt won't take a full-length baguette — nothing in this category will. Cut it across the middle and both halves fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt won't survive a washing machine. One cycle strips the lining, and that isn't recoverable in a single oven pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt won't rescue bread that went in warm. If steam gets sealed in, the cloth holds that dampness against the loaf exactly as plastic would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt won't stop mould indefinitely. Bread is food. Breathable storage helps because it doesn't hold water against the crust — it isn't a preservative.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Corvande","offers":[{"title":"Beige","offer_id":47846736724139,"sku":"CV-BWB-BEI","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":47846736756907,"sku":"CV-BWB-WHT","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0788\/6127\/1211\/files\/hf_20260915_173001_8acd0964-a686-4a3c-9102-a18f2e624b0c.png?v=1789493524","url":"https:\/\/corvande.com\/products\/beeswax-bread-bag","provider":"Corvande","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
