I was looking to replace my old lunch bag as I use it daily for work over time the strap had broken off. I was plecomfortably. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.ased to receive this item for review. This is a lovely black lunch bag which is fully insulated inside and works as a cooler. SO no more hot soggy lunches. This bag keeps the food nice and cool until lunchtime. I use it mainly for keeping my lunch cold but it can be used to keep things hot too up to six hours. The bag is well made and has a white PVC inside. It is leak proof. It has a Velcro flap to keep it closed. The carry handle strap is adjustable, so can be carried in hand

This is the perfect size for the Kiki's delivery service Bento I ordered awhile back. If you pack large lunches this lunch bag may be too small for what you're looking for, but if you're health conscientiousness this will help manage your food intake! The thermal lining on the inside of the bag does not last long, I pack my lunch the night before and leave it in the fridge until I take it out for work and eat it usually about 5 hours later, and by then the food is usually a little cooler then room temperature and that's it. However, it's zipper has been reliable for the past few months and the tightness of the bag actually helps stop the food from tipping over inside the bag (which is supper convenient!).

If you want to stand out with an adorable lunch bag and show off your Ghibli pride I say this is the lunch bag for you! However, the buyer lies, I never received any bonus stickers. :(

Picture is cute, and seems to keep the food cool until lunchtime.  Only downside is that the outside gets dirty so quickly.

This 8" x 12" inch insulated lunch bag is pretty nice. Even though it's made in China it seems well made. It folds out into a 22" x 12' placemat. I can see the placemat being very handy for eating in a car, but I can't think of other uses; maybe that's just my lack of imagination. I liked it because it is not big and bulky, yet still keeps things cool. I ran a test by putting 2 cold soda cans in it and also in one of those bulky cooler bags. I did not add any ice, and both bags were at room temperature before I zipped them up. At the end of 4 hours the cans in both bags were the same temp; both were cool to the touch. The benefit is the size of this bag. When it's empty you can basically roll it up and stick it in a medium sized pocketbook. Very convenient.
4 stars because it's made in China and there's no reason for it. Other than that this bag is very handy.

This is not a lunch box. It is a small canvas bag. It is not insulated on the inside.

It's a little big to be a lunch bag in my opinion. That with the lack of insulation and no way to keep tall items upright inside.
 the inside material is easy to clean and big enough to carry lunch for 2 people.
Funny i had an almost identical bag growing up that i used to carry shoes. Kudo's for creative marketing.

I bought two of these lunch bags and my family loves them. Their lunch stays nice and dry and room for a cold pack. They have an outside zipper and big top that opens to reveal that a bag of chips, cold pack or hot pack, sandwich and or cookies or a drink can fit inside this deep bag. Was a little pricey at $35.00 but the quality of this bag is well worth it. No more complaints that their lunch was soggy or warm. Comes in different colors and teams. Will order more for Xmas.

This bag is sturdy and a good size but the cooling gel does not encompass the entire bag, only the bottom and lower part of the sides.  Food doesn't stay cool for more than a few hours, unlike the lunch bags. Disappointed!

This lunch bag is very spacious, and I love the square shape. I have been using it since I purchased it to pack my and my husband's lunches in (We work together). It definitely holds both of our lunch, but the inside insulation is already breaking apart from the zipper at the top of the bag. I am a bit disappointed that the bag is not more durable, but maybe I just stuffed too much food into it. I really liked the front pocket to put silverware in.

Does not keep your food cold for extended periods. I have another bag I bought to replace this one and it is truly insulated and keeps the contents cold. This bag would allow my ice gel pack to melt and only be cool by lunch. (4 or so hours?) my new thermos case ($20, so a bigger investment) keeps the gel pack near frozen by the time I go to lunch. Save your money unless you don't need your lunch to stay really cold. It's essentially a semi insulated travel bag. Better for a picnic.

This large, stylish lunch bag is perfect for bringing food anywhere.  The material is stretchy so you can fill it up and still close the zipper.  Not sure how well it insulates.  The picture for this item makes the colors look more subtle, but in person, the colors look a little different and brighter, but no complaints since it still looks good.

I bring large meals with me to work because I work long shifts. I thought the large would be adequate, but when you put in a salad and a whole host of other items, it overfills quickly. If you want a lot of food to fit, get the XL.

The zipper zips smoothly, and the mesh on the sides can hold quite a bit of extra stuff (utensils, salt/pepper, etc.). It will keep your food cool throughout the day, though not super cold.

It folds up very easily, though it makes it less sturdy in my mind. It just feels a bit on the cheap side, as if this was purchased at Wal-mart. However, for a lunch bag it serves its purpose.

It's an excellent lunchbag. The top portion has a nice roomy area and the bottom is large enough for quite a bit as well. My son hates that his napkins get soggy from the ice packs so the little zip compartment on the front is perfect to keep his napkins dry! It's the best dual compartment lunch bag I have ever bought. I will be buying this same bag every year from now on....maybe just vary colors to make it look different every year but that's it.

It's a lunch bag -- meant to keep warm food warm and cold food cold. It works!  The best part of this lunch bag is that it is large enough for two sandwiches, a pudding cup, a few other snacks and a bottle of water for my 15 year old's large lunchtime appetite!!!

This is the nicest lunch bag I have ever owned. The size is wide enough for the square Rubbermaid containers that I like to take my lunches in. I haven't tried the containers that come with it yet but I'm impressed with the engineering of them. The two small containers fit inside the larger one, with ice pack if desired.  This comes with two ice packs.  One can snap into the lid of the large container and/or you can put one in the middle. There is a little ridge that holds the ice pack in the center. It seems very versatile. There is a mesh pocket inside the bag as well as one on the outside. I use the inside pocket to hold utensils.
The Velcro at the top closes completely and easily. Then you roll the top down and latch the strap together. It's kind of weird but it works. One of the other comments complained that there is no handle but I have had no problem using the strap as a handle.
I don't really need the ice packs because I keep my lunch in the refrigerator at work. For that reason I don't need an insulated bag. This one seems that it is insulated well enough that it could keep things cool without refrigeration but not so much that it's bulky.

This is a very stylish bag that holds a lot of food.  I can find only one downfall to this bag and it is the lack of a shoulder strap.  I feel it could benefit from having a shoulder strap, especially when you are juggling other things.  The bag keeps my food cold for a very long time.  I pack a frozen lean cuisine at 6am and it is still nice and cold by time I heat it up at 12:00 pm.  There is plenty of room for lunch, snacks, and water bottles.  Personally, to keep everything colder, I freeze a bottle of water and place it in the bottom.  By time I am off of work and driving home, I have a ice cold bottle of water to enjoy.  Great bag and it gets lots of looks and compliments.

This is a capacious lunch bag! Additionally, it is a well-constructed, well-padded, quality bag. All the stitching is done well - reinforced where it needs to be, no loose threads, etc. There is an adjustable reinforced shoulder strap, a deep netted bottle holder on the side of the cooler large enough to fit my Hydracentials 24oz stainless steel bottle comfortably with no fear of it falling out, and a reinforced padded soft handle on the top of the bag if you prefer to carry it with your hand. There is a zipped pocket on the front to hold your napkins or utensils. The plastic lining is not stitched in so that you can pull it out of the bag all the way to the top making it very easy to clean if something spills.

The base is 5.5" x 8". Not quite wide enough to fit my rectangular 3-cup Pyrex dish typically used to bring lunch to work. So, the dish has to go into the bag sideways. However, there is no strap to hold the bag sideways (horizontally). :( Also, there is no separate area to place an ice pack. Lastly, the padding, though certainly thick enough on the sides, is thinner on the bottom of the bag. BUT, making it worse, the side padding doesn't extend all the way to the bottom of the bag. For some reason it stops short of the bottom of the bag. It's not even an inch short, so I don't understand why they didn't just continue the padding to the bottom of the bag, or - even better - sew all the padding together and simply insert that into the bag prior to sewing on the lining. It's a large design flaw, as far as I'm concerned..

So, do the things I DON'T like outweigh the qualities of the bag that I DO like? No. It's still a good quality. large cooler bag for the money. So, I do recommend it. I just have to remove a star for its minor shortcomings.
