Our story

A letter from the founders

Hi, we’re Charmaine and Chantelle, two sisters who love a good savory pie. Enough to build a whole family business around it. You could say we got a little carried away.

We’ve spent more than a decade being particular about rich, slow-simmered fillings and golden, flaky pastry. Every pie is filled and finished by hand. We also love dreaming up new flavors and slightly ridiculous names. You can probably keep expecting more of both.

Food has always brought our family together. We love those evenings when everyone’s well fed, someone’s telling a story you’ve heard seventeen times, and you’re still laughing at it. Those everyday traditions and a moment to connect really matter to us. We want to keep making room for them.

Of course, someone still has to make dinner.

That’s where we come in. We’ve already put in the hours of chopping, simmering, pastry making and baking. You heat your pies in the oven and add a simple side. It’s a dinner you can happily and confidently serve to family and friends, and still have time to sit down and catch up with them.

Send a box to someone who could use a little looking after. Keep a few for an evening when you could use the same.

Mostly, we hope our pies give you a reason to settle in, enjoy your people, and stay for another story. There’s something lovely about dinner being taken care of.

We’d love a place at your table.

With love,

Charmaine and Chantelle’s signatures

Our journey

A story that started
long before the pie.

From Nannu’s kitchen to tables across America.

A passion for pastry.

Our Maltese grandfather, Nannu, taught us to love baking. Growing up in South Africa gave us a love of savory pies.

The beginning.

Missing the pies we grew up with, we started Pouch in Athens, Georgia. A little taste of home, made to share.

A little idea. A lot of pie.
