Founder Story

One day, Stéphanie suggested to Laurie that they start making bread bags. Laurie was already composting at home, while Stéphanie had a growing interest in the "zero waste" lifestyle. Stéphanie was also in the habit of taking a pillowcase to the corner bakery to pick up bread. When she got back home, she realized that the pillowcase wasn't the most ideal choice! They decided to look on the Internet for a product that would be suitable in both practical and esthetic terms, but found nothing that met their criteria. 

Equipped with only a sewing machine and plenty of naivete, they went to Montreal's famous Rue Chabanel to buy fabric. They then began producing the prototype of what is now their reusable bread bag.
