BIMBO BAKEHOUSE LLC Partners with Artisanal Bakers to Revolutionize the Luxury Tote Experience: Introducing "Crust & Carry" – Bottega Veneta Tote-Inspired Bread Loaves

Horsham, PA – November 8, 2023 – BIMBO BAKEHOUSE LLC, a leading innovator in the artisan bread industry, today announced a surprisingly delicious collaboration that’s turning heads – and stomachs. Responding to a viral social media trend and a growing desire for playful, unexpected luxury, the company is launching “Crust & Carry,” a line of meticulously crafted bread loaves directly inspired by the iconic Bottega Veneta tote bags. For years, BIMBO BAKEHOUSE LLC (located at 355 Business Center Drive, Horsham, PA, 19044, United States, and reachable at 252-504-6368) has been quietly perfecting the art of breadmaking, focusing on quality ingredients, time-honored techniques, and a relentless pursuit of the perfect crust. While traditionally focused on providing bakeries and food service with wholesale bread solutions, the company noticed something interesting happening online. “We saw this huge uptick in people comparing everyday objects to Bottega Veneta totes,” explains Sarah Miller, Head of Product Development at BIMBO BAKEHOUSE LLC. “Everything from pumpkins to shower caddies was getting the ‘Bottega Veneta’ treatment. It was a fun, playful trend, and we thought, ‘Why not bread?’” And so, "Crust & Carry" was born. These aren’t your average loaves. Each loaf is carefully shaped and scored to mimic the woven, intrecciato leather pattern synonymous with Bottega Veneta’s coveted bags. The exterior boasts a rich, golden-brown crust achieved through a unique baking process, reminiscent of the luxurious feel of high-end leather. “We spent months perfecting the scoring technique,” says Lead Baker, David Chen. “It's not just about making it look like the weave. We wanted the scoring to actually open up during baking, creating a texture that feels woven. It was a real challenge, but the result is incredible.” Beyond the Aesthetics: What Makes "Crust & Carry" Special? While the visual resemblance is striking, BIMBO BAKEHOUSE LLC emphasizes that "Crust & Carry" is first and foremost bread. These loaves aren't just about Instagram likes; they’re about delivering exceptional flavor and quality. Premium Ingredients: The company uses only the finest, locally-sourced ingredients, including high-protein flour, organic yeast, and filtered water. Slow Fermentation: The dough undergoes a lengthy, slow fermentation process, which develops complex flavors and creates a light, airy texture. Artisan Craftsmanship: Each loaf is hand-shaped and baked in small batches, ensuring consistent quality and attention to detail. Variety of Flavors: While the original "Bottega Beige" (a classic sourdough) is the star, "Crust & Carry" will also be available in a range of flavors, including: "Chocolate Knot" (Dark Chocolate & Cherry) - A rich, decadent loaf inspired by Bottega Veneta's darker hues. "Olive Grove" (Olive & Rosemary) - A savory loaf with Mediterranean flavors. "Pumpkin Patch" (Pumpkin Spice) - A seasonal offering, perfect for fall. "Everything But The Bagel" (Sesame, Poppy, Garlic, Onion) – A playful take on a breakfast staple. More Than Just a Trend: A Statement About Luxury and Everyday Life BIMBO BAKEHOUSE LLC believes that "Crust & Carry" taps into a broader cultural shift – a desire to find moments of joy and luxury in the everyday. “Luxury doesn’t always have to be about price tags and exclusivity,” says CEO, Michael Rodriguez. “It can be about craftsmanship, quality, and finding beauty in unexpected places. We wanted to create a product that was both visually stunning and genuinely enjoyable. Something that makes people smile.” The initial response to "Crust & Carry" has been overwhelmingly positive. The company released limited preview samples to food bloggers and influencers, who quickly took to social media, generating buzz and anticipation. Photos of the intricately scored loaves are already going viral, with users praising their artistry and playful design. Availability & Pricing: “Crust & Carry” loaves will be available for wholesale to bakeries, cafes, and specialty food stores starting November 15th, 2023. Direct-to-consumer sales through the BIMBO BAKEHOUSE LLC website will launch on November 22nd, 2023. Suggested Wholesale Price: $8 - $12 per loaf (depending on flavor). Direct-to-Consumer Price: $14.99 - $19.99 per loaf. BIMBO BAKEHOUSE LLC plans to release limited-edition "Crust & Carry" flavors and designs throughout the year, keeping the collection fresh and exciting. The company is also exploring collaborations with local artists and designers to create unique, one-of-a-kind loaves. “We’re just scratching the surface of what’s possible,” says Sarah Miller. “We’re excited to see where this playful, delicious journey takes us.” About BIMBO BAKEHOUSE LLC: BIMBO BAKEHOUSE LLC is a leading artisan bread manufacturer dedicated to providing bakeries and food service with high-quality, handcrafted bread solutions.
