"The days of brown-bagging are finally over." -- Travel & Leisure
"Lunch boxes are back in vogue -– and not just in the school cafeteria..." – House Beautiful
We were wondering why no one else thought of this: make a lunch bag out of neoprene -- a material with great insulating qualities that also stretches to protect contents. (Neoprene is the material used to make wetsuits.) Smart material plus great design makes the Built NY Gourmet Getaway a winner.
12" H x 12" W x 1.25" (about 6" wide when expanded)

Design & Functionality
Use it to carry everything from food to electronics. Its material not only insulates, but cradles and helps protect items from impact. Bag zips shut to keep items in place. Stores completely flat or can be rolled up for easy storage.
Avoid any possibility of lead exposure in your lunch bag or lunch box. Built's Gourmet Getaway has been tested and is lead-safe. To read about recent finding of high levels of lead found in some children's lunch boxes click here.
Materials
Made with lightweight insulating neoprene. Neoprene is water-resistant, abrasion-resistant (there's a reason why it's preferred by coral reef divers), has insulating properties & is extremely lightweight. At less than 5mm thick, it protects while not being bulky. It's also vinyl-free and lead-safe.
Sustainability
Built Gourmet Getaways are made to last and designed to be reused over and over again. Using them can help eliminate thousands of throwaway lunch bags over the course of their lifetime. These innovative bags fold flat for easy storage and portability.

Great lunch bag!
This is my second Built lunch bag and I love it just as much as the first one (the first one got left on a plane). The greatest feature of this lunch bag is that I can throw it in the wash. Washing the first one about every other week for a year did not make the colors fade or weaken the fabric in any way. The second greatest feature is that it stretches to accommodate different sized lunch containers.

Excellent Lunch Bag--Great Colors!
This lunch bag is excellent. Like many other reviewers have said it can hold a mighty amount of stuff. Today I carried a can of soup, a large bowl and an apple and still had room left over. It looks great and never is mistaken for anyone else's bag in the shared office fridge! Great product.

I love the Built Insulated Lunch Bag!! It's so stylish yet so practical. It fits all of my lunch and snacks for a long day at work and looks lovely when I'm carrying it!! Everyone asks where I got it from. At the end of the week I just throw it in the washing machine ready for the next week. I love it!! Thankyou for a wonderful product.

Bigger on the inside
1 out of 1 customers found this review helpful
Like Dr. Who's TARDIS, this little wonder is bigger than it looks at first sight. I have used it practically every day since I got it, bringing t to the office with 1) a container of soup, 2) my glasses, 3) a fairly thick paperback book, 4) pocket package of Kleenex and 5) my security badge tucked inside. And there is room for more. Even better, the flexible handle allows me to slip it over my wrist, so I can carry my briefcase, handbag or a grocery bag at the same time. Excellent product, plus it is easy to launder.

Roomy, easy to clean, fits a lot
I bought this for my daughter for her first year in school as I own one already and really like it.
The fabric is soft and moldable so it fits a lot of stuff in it - at least 3 containers, a Thermos Foogo and an apple. It's easy to clean, easy to open and great to hold.
I am really happy with this product.

Horrible Smell
Great looking lunchbag. Seems well made. Neoprene material smells like a gas tank. I'll be sending this back.

Good basic lunch bag

I bought this for my 6 year old daughter to take to school. I like the washability of this bag and the large capacity. I also love the color- a super deep raspberry- beautiful. My daughter likes it because it is easy to open and because it is soft. It is well made.

Great for work
I got this bag to replace a small cooler type bag I had. This bad is more flexible, is stylish, and holds A LOT of food. The only issue is that it doesn't stay as cool as I would like, even with ice packs and sitting in the fridge all night. It's great for work, but I wouldn't travel with it in the car for long periods of time.

A great carrier!~
This was a gift to a dearest friend who already has food/take-out containers but nothing to carry in except for her shopping bags or every-day bag. She was elated to have received this gift!

Best lunchbox ever
This lunchbox keeps things well-insulated, looks chic and sleek, has a nifty handle that also fits over your wrist if you need to use your fingers for other duties, and it holds a lot of food. A lot of food! I can fit four medium-size Tupperwares in there no problem, and because the material has give, it still zips up no matter the shape of the containers. It is basically amazing. It also folds flat when not holding a remarkable amount of food. Seriously, buy this lunch box!

OK bags but need improvments
3 out of 3 customers found this review helpful
I have 5 bags of various designs. I liked them so much and had to buy them as gifts... Then I regretted... They aren\'t as roomy as I thought. I couldn\'t fit my long stainless steel water bottle in without have a tug of war with the rest of containers. My son refused using them as they looked GIRLY. The bags stain easily and won\'t come off with a good scrubbing either. They do keep food fresh provided there is an ice pack or fronze drink inside. The bags are super light and can be folded and packed easily when empty. They are not bad but need some improvement, esp on size and shapes so they can store longer items and men/boys will want to use them too.

best lunch bag...ever
I love my Builty Gourmet tote. I replaced a bulky, boxy bag with this and I'm so happy. This squishes down into my work tote and is very sleek and stylish. I wish it did a little better keeping things cold (I use a cold pack) for longer, but for 4-6 hours you're solid. Very, very happy with this purchase. I encourage all considering this product to buy it!

Terrific lunch bag
1 out of 1 customers found this review helpful
I use this lunch tote for my 4.5 year-old daughter's lunch at pre-school. It is the BEST lunch tote I have ever purchased and would highly recommend this to any mom. Not only is it insulated and well made, but it also easily STRETCHES when you need to fit an odd-shaped container in it. It wipes/cleans easily and my daughter loves the handle at the top for easy carrying. She is so proud of her lunchbox that she will not allow me to carry it. I am also very glad that I purchased this in the large size for her, as it is perfect. I initially thought it would be too big but it really is not bulky for her, is easy to carry (doesn't touch the ground when she carries it) and holds a typical container or two, utensils and thermos. You also can't beat the price!
