Tariffs Went Up, Our Commitment to You Did Not

Tariffs Went Up, Our Commitment to You Did Not

On August 1st, new tariffs raised the cost of our certified European flax linen by 30 percent.
It’s the fabric at the heart of every Ambrosia Bag—chosen for its breathability, moisture-regulating properties, and ability to help food stay fresher, longer.

We could have passed that cost along. But we didn’t.

On August 1st, new tariffs raised the cost of our certified European flax linen by 30 percent.
It’s the fabric at the heart of every Ambrosia Bag—chosen for its breathability, moisture-regulating properties, and ability to help food stay fresher, longer.

We could have passed that cost along. But we didn’t.

We believe keeping your groceries fresher without adding to your grocery bill matters more than holding our margins. For now, we’re absorbing the increase so you can keep filling your bags—not your receipts.


Why This Matters

The way food is stored matters—not just for taste and texture, but for waste and cost.
Plastic traps too much moisture, cotton hangs onto it and dries too slowly, but flax linen finds the balance. Its natural properties resist mold and microbial growth†, regulate humidity, and let air circulate—keeping your produce crisp without paper towels, without plastic, and without waste.

That same quality linen now costs 30% more to source. But our promise to you hasn’t changed.


Rooted in the Real Work

From bolts of raw flax linen in the workshop to the final stitch on your bag, every step is done with intention. Each bag is still small-batch made. Still reusable. Still part of a cleaner, more thoughtful kitchen routine.

We’ve always said our work is about more than bags—it’s about habits, about connection, and about giving you tools to help every leafy green, berry, and mushroom last longer. That hasn’t changed.


Holding the Line for the Community

In uncertain times, stability matters. We want you to know exactly what to expect when you reach for an Ambrosia Bag:

  • The same quality linen.

  • The same care in how it’s made.

  • The same price.

Because this is more than a product—it’s a shared commitment to wasting less, eating better, and making the most of what we have.
