Orchard Leaf Beeswax Bread Bag
Orchard Leaf Beeswax Bread Bag
Unbleached cotton with food-grade beeswax worked down into the weave — so the crust stays crisp instead of sweating soft inside a plastic bag.

How to tell real waxed cloth
Hold the lining up to a window. Worked-in wax sits between the threads — slightly translucent where it is thin, cloudier where it pooled. A sprayed coating reads as an even film on top, and it starts lifting at the folds within weeks.
At kitchen temperature the wax stays set inside the cloth. It only softens when it gets warm — a hot car, a sunny windowsill, hot washing-up water — and sets again as it cools. That is the whole reason for the cold-water rule.
Is it sticky? Does wax come off on the bread?
Is it sticky? Does wax come off on the bread?
No. At kitchen temperature the wax is set hard inside the cloth, so the lining feels like stiff dry canvas rather than anything tacky. It only turns soft and slightly tacky when it gets warm — a hot car, a sunny windowsill, hot washing-up water — and it sets again as it cools. That is the whole reason for the cold-water rule.
Cleaning is the same one-minute job every time: turn it inside out, shake the crumbs into the bin, wipe the lining with a cloth and cold water, a drop of mild soap if it needs it, hang it to dry. No machine and no hot water — both take the wax out of the cloth rather than clean it.
Will the wax flake off?
Will the wax flake off?
It wears thin eventually — every waxed cloth does, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you a slogan. What shortens its life is heat: a warm loaf, hot water, a machine wash, or folding it into a hard crease.
The difference here is that it can be repaired. Lay the bag flat on a lined tray and warm it through in a low oven until the wax goes clear and settles back into the weave. A bag you can refresh is a bag you keep.
Will my bread go mouldy in it?
Will my bread go mouldy in it?
Only if it goes in warm. A loaf straight from the oven is still releasing steam, and steam trapped in any closed bag is exactly how bread moulds. Let it cool all the way through first.
This is the single most common reason people are disappointed by a bread bag, so we would rather say it here than let you find out.

The details
- Cloth — Cotton, a plain leaf pattern and no lettering
- Size — 43 × 33 cm (16.9 × 13 in)
- Closes — A drawstring at the mouth, with a toggle each side
The most open bag in the range — a drawstring and nothing else, for a crusty loaf you plan to finish today.
Crisp crust, soft crumb. Everything else gives you one or the other.
A plastic bag holds the moisture in and softens the crust. A bin and a paper bag let it straight out and dry the crumb. Waxed cotton is the only one of the four that does both jobs at once — and the only one you can bring back when it wears.

Everything else. Asked and answered.
Does it work for supermarket sliced bread?
Does it work for supermarket sliced bread?
Yes, and you can leave it in its own wrapper. The bag is big enough to take a standard sliced loaf whole. It takes a sourdough boule just as easily — you don't have to choose between the Saturday bake and the Tuesday sandwich loaf.
Can I freeze bread in it?
Can I freeze bread in it?
Yes — the bag is freezer safe. Let the loaf cool completely first, then close it. Take it out and let it come back to room temperature in the bag rather than on the counter, so the crust does not pick up condensation on the way.
Why would I want more than one?
Why would I want more than one?
Because one is always in the wash. Two means there is a dry one on the counter while the other dries — and the e-book comes free with it. Four covers the loaf, the rolls, something in the freezer and one to hand to whoever asks where you got it, at $27.50 a bag.
Which print should I choose?
Which print should I choose?
Every bag in the line carries the same food-grade beeswax lining and does the same job — the print is the only thing that changes. Pick the one that suits your kitchen rather than the one that claims the most.
Will my bread taste of wax?
Will my bread taste of wax?
No. The lining is food-grade beeswax, and a new bag has a faint honey smell for the first few days that fades on its own. It does not pass into the crumb. If the smell bothers you at the start, leave the bag open on a shelf overnight before you use it.
When will it arrive?
When will it arrive?
We ship within 1–3 business days. To the US delivery is usually 8–14 days, tracked. Canada, the UK and Australia travel on a different route and can take longer. It comes from our overseas warehouse, which is why it is not two-day shipping and why the bag is not priced like one that is.
