Hi, there!
My name is David. I am the "CEO" of CornBags.ch 😜 . I am running this business because
I personally use cornbags almost every day. They are a very practical thing, quite underrated in Europe,
but very well known in the United States. I got my fist cornbag from my Oklahoma grandparents.
History of the Cornbag:
"As legend has it, in an old rural Oklahoma farm house, the cold nights
were made warm with a corn sack. During the day, a large pan of shelled corn warmed under the kitchen woodburning
stove. Before bed, mom would distribute the corn sacks, one for each family member. That hot corn sack warmed
the bed, feet, or anything for quite a while. Every morning, before breakfast, the corn was returned to the pan
under the stove to warm for the next evening's use."
Production:
All our cornbags are made by hand here in Bern, Switzerland. My grandmother was a
master seemstress and I can use some of her old equipment. It is still quite a challenge to get things straight.
But I am working on that...
Best Quality:
We only use organic corn with biosuisse certification. It is specially separated and
cleaned leaving only the best part without dust and broken pieces.
For the cloth of our cornbags we use natural materials like cotton, linen, and viscose. The inner cover is light
and firm while the outer sleeve is thick and soft. You can wash the outer sleeve. The inner cover with
the corn filling must be kept dry at all times.
