Introducing Honoré’s Bread Bag — Linen bread bags have been used for centuries to keep bread fresh. Those in our namesake St. Honoré’s household likely used linen bags to store their bread in 7th-century France! Today, linen bread bags are still the best way to store bread, especially the natural whole-wheat sourdough we make at Honoré. Unlike plastic storage, this linen bag allows your bread “breathe,” maintaining a crisp crust and moist crumb. Whole-wheat sourdough stays fresh for up to five days when stored in this bag. Small pleats sewn into the bag help it expand to hold your loaf, and the drawstring closure lets you secure the top of the bag. It’s hand-sewn from the highest-quality Belgian linen and beautifully imprinted with the Honoré wheat-stalk logo.

The only way to make the bread bag a better gift is to give it with a freshly baked boule inside.
