Best lunch tote for work

greendiamond · Marc Jacobs

C'mon people, I know what kind of handbags you lust after, and I find it hard to believe you brown bag it. If ever a perfect lunch bag weere made, an STer would find it.

KaffeeKlatsch · Marc Jacobs

Errr...I like mine...cause it's purple!
It's California Innovations and an older model of this:

I got mine at weight watchers and I love it. It's tall and zips at the top, but you can fold the top half down and velcro it to the bottom. It also insulates really well.
My only compaint is the width - it's hard to fit a salad in there, but I found a bowl at target with a spot for an icepack inside the lid, so when I have a salad I just use that instead.
Here's a picture of the tote.

And the salad shaker

I didn't comment because I don't use one, but bring my lunch most days. Usually, I shove my lunch in my oversized purse!

S11ygoose · BCBG

Ditto with the not using one. I always use plastic bags from the grocery store or mall. (The ones I get when I forget to take my reusable bags :-/) The ones posted are cute, though!

Kel · Coach

I just saw a really cute one in a magazine and I forgot where it was. Let me check... The one I use now I got from Target @ last summer's end of season sale for .75 cents. Awesome deal!

I just have a regular square looking one from Walmart. Not very cute :( Hungrygirl usually offers one through their site/newsletter every now and then that looks cute.

There are other, more basket shaped but that might be hard if you have something that needs to lay or stay flat. I try to stay with the shapes above for that purpose.

Sandy · Kate Spade

I just use one of my reusable grocery bags everyday. Target always has the cutest lunch bags when they put out the back to school stuff, though. I wanted to get one last year but coudn't justify it, as my lunch goes straight from the car to the fridge at work to my belly.

Escrime · Kate Spade

I got one of these in a polka dot pattern from TJMaxx for $10. I really like them. Sturdy and cute and easy to clean and insulates really well. I have had in for a year now, and it still looks brand new.
