The cotton food bags come in an attractive creamy white and have a braided cord closure. This gives the bags an aesthetic and practical appearance that blends harmoniously into any kitchen.
The bags are manufactured to a high quality, making them durable and hard-wearing. There are no visible protruding threads or processing errors, which indicates that they have been carefully manufactured.
The material used, cotton, underlines the sustainable aspect of the shopping bags.
The set contains three bags in different sizes: Size S (20x25cm), Size M (25x35cm) and Size L (30x45cm). This variety allows the bags to be used flexibly for a wide range of food and storage purposes.
Thanks to the high-quality materials and solid workmanship, the cotton food bags can be used again and again. This not only reduces the use of disposable plastic and thus promotes sustainability, but also guarantees the long-term usability of the product.
This is what our practical test showed

The use of the threaded cord closure enables easy handling and secure closing of the bags. However, a second cord closure would be advantageous to make closing even faster and more effective. This would also help to close the bag completely, as with only one drawstring closure there is still a small opening through which air could enter and food could dry out.
The variety of sizes on offer allows the bags to be used flexibly for different foods and storage purposes. For example, they can be used for small snacks or larger foods such as bread.
Another advantage is that the food bags are easy to clean. After use, they can simply be turned upside down and the crumbs or residue removed. The bags can also be washed at temperatures of up to 40°C , allowing them to be reused hygienically.
All in all, the cotton food bags offer an environmentally friendly and stylish alternative for storing food.
