We comfortably stashed two medium-sized loaves, which stayed super fresh via the tactile roll-down door, while the bin’s flat top means it can double up as a surface for small canisters and favourite spreads. It’s a place for your favourite baked goods – be they fresh bagels, artisan rye loaves, supermarket baguettes or cobs straight out of the bread maker – to stay fresh and crisp, away from nasty germs and bacteria.

For larger families, a range of roomier, retro-style bread bins have been brought bang up to date with statement designs, nifty functions such as chopping-board lids, and a wide range of colourways to suit any type of kitchen. Thanks to naturally self-preserving beeswax, which keeps away pesky germs, cleaning is just a matter of rinsing with cool water and leaving to dry, and the bag can simply be snipped up and put on the compost heap at the end of its life (after roughly 250 washes).This bread bin, handmade in Indonesia by rattan weavers, boasts a generous capacity, holding a mix of loaves, buns and crumpets with no “squashing in”, thanks to the lift-off lid with a neutral leather strap. The durable, corrosion–resistant exterior presents a flat top to maximise space and is easy to clean. Unlike most other bread bins in the line-up, the locknlock can travel from freezer to microwave to dishwasher with no complaints, and each box comes with a trusty three-year guarantee from Lakeland.
