What our professional customers say

I founded "Les extra-ordinaires" because I noticed that very few French people use a reusable bread bag! It's an object that has been forgotten. I wanted to bring it back into fashion by offering a beautiful, useful and environmentally committed object! The idea is to be an alternative to single-use bakery paper or plastic bread bags, also to better preserve the bread freshness at home, thanks to the linen. Across France, the daily ritual of popping into the local bakery for freshly baked bread is a cherished tradition. Whether a boule or a baguette, fresh bread is a staple of French life, shared at mealtimes.
We mainly sell our bread bags direct-to-consumers on our online store. For more than a year now, we also develop BtoB partnerships with those who make good bread! Bakeries that are sensitive to our values, just as we are to theirs: our customers are alike! Some examples of our collaboration are: a dynamic and committed rural bakery in Normandy (organic breads, sourdough, wood-fired oven), an urban micro-bakery 100% natural sourdough in Paris, a reference bakery working with ancient wheat flours and selling online, an organic bakery present on markets, …
Some of our professional customers choose to personalize the bags with their logo, which gives very pleasing results! Others simply prefer to offer our bread bag as it is. I am very proud that 80% of our professional customers have already ordered again!
Marion, founder, « Les extra-ordinaires »
A heavy-weight linen bread bag, ideal for storing bread
- High-quality, thick linen (390 g/m²): a natural material that optimizes bread preservation at home.
- Linen allows breathability to prevent mold and moisture buildup, and the drawstring closure provides light and air resistance.
- Fabric made of flax grown by the sea, from Normandy to Belgium.
- Flax is a zero irrigation and zero waste natural fiber (all parts of the plant are used).
- Linen woven in Belgium, Oeko-Tex 100® certified (non-toxic dyes).
- 1 color (dark beige) also available in GOTS ® certified linen (organic flax).
The bag keeps sourdough bread very well: a perfect balance between air protection and aeration. My customers appreciate the fact that the bread bag takes up less space than a bread box. They often freeze loaves when they get home, and use the linen bag for the bread they eat first.

Frequently Asked Questions
Several customization techniques are possible, depending on your logo design and colours . The bakery logo is most often positioned on the front of the bag, at the top center.
The result is always very qualitative. The logo dimension is designed to be clearly visible, while being harmonious with the size of the bag.
We offer specific purchase rates for professionals, do not hesitate to contact us to find out more.
We can also send you some examples of our personalized bread bags with our customers’ logos.
For bread bags alone, without customization, there is no minimum order. You can therefore test on a small quantity to start and validate the interest of your customers.
For personalized bread bags, the minimum order varies between 20 and 50 bread bags, depending on the customization technique chosen.
The feedback from the bakeries we work with is that they mostly observe “impulse” buy. Customers perceive the quality of the linen, they understand the approach (made in France, qualitative raw materials, etc.). They appreciate being able to store their bread neatly at home and improve its preservation.
80% of the bakeries we work with have already ordered again at least once.
From our own experience, we have already sold hundreds of bread bags to individual customers on our website.
Not all people will buy, but our bread bags are very favourably received by many people.
We are open to all collaborations, our objective being to spread the practice of the reusable bread bag as much as possible!
Actually, our professional clients are clients with whom we have strong shared values!
Bakeries working with natural sourdough, offering organic breads, selecting local raw materials with the greatest care, etc. Each time, a wonderful mutual encounter!
We have bakeries clients in small, medium-sized and large cities, as well as in rural areas.
Our customers include both urban and rural bakeries. They have in common their commitment to good bread! Their customers fully adhere to their approach and also adhere to our bread bag approach. Being in a rural area with a lower average purchasing power than in the city has not proven to be a problem for our bakery customers. Each situation is of course specific, so if interested, we advice you to test it for real in your own bakery (starting with a reasonable quantity).
If you would like to receive one or two bread bags to see them in real life, you can get the professional purchase price even for just one bag. This will allow you to test the bag with your own breads. We can also send you fabric samples of the 4 available colors.
We no longer give away free bread bags because it is too expensive for our young company. We hope you will understand and support us in this process!
One of our customer (bakery) raised this point with us before offering our bread bags for sale to their clients. Their feedback is as follows: customers who buy many loaves freeze most of them when they get home. They just keep one loaf in their kitchen for their current consumption. They appreciate using the linen bread bag to keep this loaf fresh and to store it properly in their kitchen.
Tote bags are very practical for transport. However, they are not very suitable for storing bread at home. Tote bags are also increasingly criticized as being “the new disposable bag”: widely distributed, people often have lots of them at home, without using them all. They remain an effective and economical communication object. In particular, the linen bread bag will allow you to offer a bread storage function, in addition to the bread transport function. It will be more qualitative and more differentiating than a tote bag. It will also be an object more rooted in the daily life of your customers, who will use it to store their bread in their kitchen once they return home.
For sure! We have already collaborated with bakeries for their online crowdfunding campaigns. The linen bread bag is a nice and useful reward for people who will support your project. When your bakery opens, you can then offer it for sale in the store, either directly upon opening or after a few months of activity.
