Product Insights
The Simons Maison Onion Storage Bag uses a dual-material design: a recycled cotton exterior that wicks humidity while an FDA-approved polypropylene interior blocks all visible light to keep onions dormant. A drawstring adjusts ventilation for airflow control. Machine washing sanitizes the bag and prevents pathogen buildup, extending onion freshness and reducing food waste, but the cotton outer may retain onion odors after washing, risking cross-contamination and making the bag best suited for exclusive onion use. The recycled cotton conserves water, and the bag holds 4–6 onions.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Onion Storage Bag: Choose this if you want a washable counter-side bag that contains onion skins and, according to multiple users, keeps onions fresh longer than storing them loose or in a bowl. It is a reusable 11 by 15.75 inch (28 by 40 cm) bag in recycled cotton with a blackout lining intended to allow air circulation and prevent sprouting, with a generous drawstring opening that reviewers find easy to fill and grab from. Note that repeat buyers report this version is smaller than last year's model, omits the previous bottom zip, and that the drawstring closure feels less secure.[1] | Potato Storage Bag: Choose this if you want a reusable, generously sized drawstring bag (12.5 by 18 inches) to store potatoes, with recycled cotton outside, a polypropylene blackout lining meant to allow air circulation and prevent germination, and easy machine washing in cold water. Reviewers find it adorable as countertop decor and praise its capacity and easy cleaning, and it is a Simons Maison exclusive designed in Canada. Note that its sprouting prevention is not yet proven—reviewed evidence is too limited to confirm that benefit.[2,3] | Baguette Storage Bag: Choose this if you want a reusable way to keep baguettes fresh for longer: it has a recycled cotton exterior with a food-grade lining meant to slow drying, and reviewers report it keeps bread fresh even after it's been started. The drawstring and snap buttons adjust the length to whole or half baguettes, taking up less counter space as the loaf shrinks. It's machine washable in cold water (hang to dry) and measures about 8.75 by 25.25 inches in one size, in the Patterned Ecru color.[4] |

sac tres solide pour la conservation
Facile a laver, a remplir.
Useful item
I thought this would be the same as last year's model but it is smaller and doesn't have a zip at the bottom. The closure at the top is not as secure either. I expect it will keep the onions fresh just as well.
Bien fait et beau
La grandeur est généreuse. C’est facile de piger dedans pour ramasser nos oignons pour nos recettes. Facile à laver aussi.
