// bread-carrying culture
In Paris, the baguette has long become part of the city’s visual code. It isn’t hidden in a bag—it’s carried under the arm, wrapped in paper, or tucked into special cloth or lace pouches. This utilitarian item has gradually transformed into almost an accessory.
Moscow also has its own bread shape designed for portability—the kalach. The bread shape itself incorporates the ergonomics of a portable object.
