These fun lunch bags are made of neoprene, the material used for wetsuits, which makes them light, water resistant and insulated to hold temperature for hours. An internal ice pocket can be used on very warm days or for longer outings. Their design is simple and functional, which automatically makes them attractive to preschoolers and primary school kids. I like the upright design with a large zip opening for easy access ideal for little hands to get to the food without trouble.

These colourful bags are made of the good stuff and are the perfect alternative to vinyl bags as they don’t contain any of the bad-for-you substances. Not only eco friendly, they are also made supporting fair working conditions by workers in Taiwan who earn a fair wage and operate in a safe working environment. Dabbawalla lunch bags are available to buy internationally, check their website for a retailer in your area.
