Our Story — Agni Natural Living

How It Started

About two years ago, we were making sourdough every weekend. Beautiful open crumb, crackling crust — and then into a plastic bag because that was the only option. By morning the crust was soft and chewy and kind of sad.

We switched to beeswax wraps. They worked great for vegetables and cheese, but a full boule? Too small, too awkward, too much wrestling.

We found a few linen bread bags online. Some were too small. Some used cotton-poly blends and called it "natural." Some had beeswax coating that washed off after two cycles. Most looked like they came from the same factory in Yiwu with different labels.

So we decided to make one that was actually right.

That meant pure linen — not cotton-poly. Food-grade beeswax only. 17×13 inches, because that's the size it takes to comfortably fit a 900g sourdough with the drawstring still closeable. Sold in a 2-pack, because serious bakers bake more than once a week.

We spent months sourcing, sampling, and rejecting suppliers who couldn't meet the spec. The Agni Beeswax Bread Bag launching this spring is the version we're proud of.

hello@agnishop.com — every message gets a real reply.

The Name

Agni is Sanskrit for fire — the fire of a wood-fired oven, the warmth of a kitchen where something real is being made.

Our Standard

Every product passes through our kitchen first. If we wouldn't use it every week, we don't sell it.

Where We're From

Canadian-led and internationally connected — a diverse team of women bakers and makers who believe home cooks everywhere deserve tools made without shortcuts.

What's Coming

After the bread bag, we're adding a rattan banneton, a sourdough starter kit, and eventually a full line of plastic-free kitchen tools.

How We Work

The commitments we
make to every customer.

Say what it is.

We say "linen" when it's linen and "cotton-poly" when it's cotton-poly. We list every material on every product page. If we don't know something, we say we don't know.

Test it ourselves.

Every product goes through our own kitchen before it goes on sale. Not three cycles — dozens. If we're recommending something, we've broken it trying.
