Meet the High Fiber Co.
Created and owned by Daphne Cohan a creative mother of three who hails from Asheville, North Carolina, this Etsy shop has quickly become one of my favorite places to love. When she’s not chasing after children or sewing up awesome stuff for me to buy, she can be found knitting, stamping, printing, growing things, or playing with food alongside her husband.
(I’m not really sure what “playing with food” means exactly, but if she cooks half as well as she sews, then we will be over for dinner tonight. Lets say seven?)
Browsing through Daphnes Etsy shop is a dangerous thing, as you are likely to get sucked in by the pretty pretty colors and patterns of the products she creates. So far, our absolute favorites are the reusable snack and sandwich bags, of which she was kind enough to send us a set. We love them so much we plan to go back and buy this set too:

What do you mean, my credit card is over the limit? Drat. Um. Okay. What was I doing again?
Oh.
Right.
Basically, I’d be hard pressed to find a pattern I don’t love. (You can check them all out yourself here, there may be one or two left that are not pictured above.)
All of her snack bags are made from 100% cotton or organic cotton and recycled hemp on the outside, with food safe, BPA and phthalate free nylon interiors. (Cotton can be used instead, upon request.) The Velcro closures keep food safely inside and there are tabs on either side for easy opening by hands large and small. When mine get dirty, I flip them inside-out and simply rinse them off, and if they need a deeper cleaning than that, you can simply throw them in with your laundry. (They come with detailed care instructions as well.) They are available in two sizes, the sandwich size and the snack size. Any pattern available can be made in either size upon request, and anything with lettering can be personalized. If you have something specific in mind that you don’t see, just send Daphne a note, and she will be happy to work with you. As always, when buying handmade, you get the personal touch and level of customer service that you won’t find anywhere else.
Along with the snack bags, Daphne also treated us to some of her reusable produce bags:
Made with care out of 100% unbleached cotton, and printed with non-toxic water based inks, these bags are perfect for trips to the farmers market or grocery. They keep your apples from touching your meat, close securely with a cotton drawstring, and can be reused endlessly. They are available in a few different patterns at the link above and new designs pop up often.
As with the snack bags, the re-usability of these helps cut down on waste. Most people I know throw away those thin plastic bags that are generally used when purchasing produce in the grocery store, as they are too think to really be reused for anything else, and most people don’t reuse Ziplock and sandwich bags either, because, well. Ew. So these bags are not only adorable, but they are making a difference as well. Every little bit really does count!
Aside from her wonderful reusable bags, The High Fiber Co also offers lots of other little goodies, including purses, wallets, dishtowels and even vintage inspired stockings!
