{"product_id":"washday-beeswax-bread-bag","title":"Washday Beeswax Bread Bag","description":"\u003cp\u003eSmall care marks screen printed in soft brown across a double-layer natural cotton shell — a washing machine, a tub, a wheat ear, and a line of plain lettering saying the bag is made to be used again. It reads like a flour sack that has been through the wash a few hundred times, which is roughly the idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also the most useful joke in the range, because the commonest way a waxed bag dies is a washing machine. Printing that on the cloth is less elegant than a leaf, and a good deal more honest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe same lining as the rest of the line\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood-grade beeswax worked down into the weave, not sprayed across the surface. The cloth breathes at the rate bread needs: steam escapes, the crust stays dry, the crumb keeps its water. A plastic bag traps that steam and the crust goes soft; a bread bin pulls the water straight out of the crumb.\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\u003eInner bag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38 × 30 cm (15 × 12 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e130 g (4.6 oz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePure cotton, double layer, lined with food-grade beeswax\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeige\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClosure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFolded cuff with a side-release buckle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIn the box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne bread bag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe print is placed by hand, so no two bags land identically.\u003c\/strong\u003e The care marks and the lettering shift a little from bag to bag — the photographs show the design, not a template.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLet the loaf cool completely before it goes in.\u003c\/strong\u003e Steam in a closed bag is how bread goes mouldy, and it is the most common reason people are disappointed by a bread bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWipe it clean cold.\u003c\/strong\u003e Cloth, cold water, hang to dry.

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":"Cotton Buckle Beige","offer_id":47853345210539,"sku":"CV-BWB-WSH","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0788\/6127\/1211\/files\/hf_20260915_173002_e368aee8-95db-49f1-85c9-844cee6ecaa2.png?v=1789493541","url":"https:\/\/corvande.com\/products\/washday-beeswax-bread-bag","provider":"Corvande","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
