Functional. Handmade. Sustainable.
lot8 started with a bread bag and kept going!
It's Simple to Use
Cut your slices from the centre of the loaf. Put the two halves together and pop them into the bread bag. Pull the drawstring. Your bread will stay fresh for up to 5 days.

Keep Textiles from the Landfill
Sam, the Unassuming Cat ToyEven natural compostable fabric like linen and cotton doesn't belong in the landfill where it don't get enough oxygen to decompose. Instead, I use remnants to create smaller products such as all natural cat toys. Why waste a good thing?

from 63 reviewsThey are the best. I loving knowing where they come from and the intent they are made from! Kim is the best and I love her mission in her business :)
We have purchased different handmade heating pads over the years and this one is by far the best one. It holds the heat for a long time and the bag has yet to fall apart (still like new after over a year).. Would buy again.
This tea cozy makes me so happy whenever I use it. I purchased the Dot pattern and it’s so cheerful and whimsical. Like everything else I have purchased from Lot8, it is beautifully made and will most certainly last for a very long time. I highly recommend purchasing one if you are a tea drinker.
I have recently purchased two linen Boule bags and a pastry cloth from Lot 8. It arrived promptly and was accompanied by a little note from Kim, thanking me for my order. My homemade rye bread kept very nicely in the bag for as long as 5 days, using the cut in the center method recommended by Kim. I am very pleased with my purchases and highly recommend those eco friendly bags. I haven't tried the pastry cloth but really look forward to it. I am sure it will live up to it's promise. I am really happy to have found these lovely products from a Ontario entrepreneur, while embracing their low waste living moto.
Lovely bread bag from a wonderful local store. We are really enjoying this purchase.
I bought a new pastry cloth from Lot8 just before Christmas because I finally admitted the one I had been using for more years than I can count no longer served me. I landed on the Lot8 site after a long search which mostly turned up silicone baking sheets which wasn't what I really wanted. So glad it was there and a local Ontario maker! Bonus!
Kim was super helpful in facilitating an in-person pick up by a friend who just happened to be visiting Stratford,. Thank you!
I loved my new pastry cloth as soon a s I took it out of the package and loved it SO MUCH! more after I used it for the first time! It's exactly what I wanted! It will be put to good use for many years, I'm sure.
Excellent quality, lovely fresh scent. Removable cover for washing is brilliant!
Why choose between the two? Kudos to Kim, yet again. I was recovering from some particularly nasty COVID vaccine side effects, and I used both the eye pillow and the wrap, hour after hour. Of course, both are used routinely in any event, just not around the clock! The eye pillow and wrap truly did help my recovery. On the fence? Don't hesitate!
These are great since they get cold, but not too cold. Perfect for my kids who can't stop running into things!
Bought one for my wife and she really liked it, so bought another set for Christmas gifts!
Love everything about it….fabric, design and the look…so elegant and stylish addition on the table!
I am definitely going to order more of these bags to use for Christmas wrapping!
I love the linen bags & it’s wonderful to support a woman close to home💗. Will most definitely be ordering again
Love the bread bags💗
good bag
