Brand

The Swag is an Australian brand, established in 2016, providing reusable produce bags specifically designed to keep groceries fresher for longer. Their range now also incorporates reusable everyday home & beauty products to help combat the amount of plastic waste on our beautiful planet and decrease pollution.

Product

Made from natural, breathable Cotton and using three layers of protection, The Swag bags are food safe and a sustainable option at keeping produce fresh, helping to slow down fruit and veggies going bad to reduce food waste. These eco-friendly bags are a fantastic alternative to keeping plastic produce bags in your fridge, and are completely washable and reusable. The Swag is waste free, plastic free, non-toxic and hypoallergenic, making it a safe storage system for fresh produce!

Each of the three layers play a significant role in keeping your fresh produce fresher for much longer! The outer layer of The Swag protects your fruit & veggies by protecting the water within the middle layer from drying out too quickly. However, it’s the other two layers that really make all the difference. The thick, absorbent middle layer holds the bulk of the moisture, almost like the inner layer of a babies nappy, it draws the moisture away from the babies bottom, or in this case, away from the fresh produce within your Swag. However, The Swag still allows the fresh produce to draw on that water and hydrate as needed. If too much moisture is up against your fruit & veggies they’ll rot faster than necessary. That’s why their patented middle layer makes all the difference. The very inner layer of The Swag, provides a dryer protection barrier however, being permeable, also allows your fruit & veggies to draw on air and water in order to stay fresher for longer.

How To Use It

• Machine wash before use
• Dampen Swags under the tap & wring out excess water
• Pack fruit, veggies & leafy greens into your Swags
• Place in the crisper of the fridge
• Enjoy 2 weeks or more of freshness (on average)

Check once or twice a week that your Swag has retained its dampness (give it a spritz of water if needed), and every 2-3 weeks we suggest popping your Swag into a cold wash cycle (preferably with a non-toxic washing powder). Dry in full sun if possible.
