    I love the bag. Bought 2 of them, use one for lunch and the other for my knitting. They work great. I love that they have a zipper.

    This is a great bag

    by Kresta L - 11/2009

    This is a great bag. My daughter loves the ladybugs on her lunch bag. It is large enough to carry a reusable water bottle, a sandwich in a reusable wrap, veggies in a reusable bag, a small whole piece of fruit, and I can't forget to mention a small size ice pack.

    I have two lunchbags

    by kara j - 09/2009

    I have two lunchbags. One for my 6 year old and one for my 4 year old son. I love them! They are just the right size, easy to carry, store and clean. The quality makes me confident the zippers won't get stuck or break at the tugging hands of a child. I would suggest that when you order your bag get your sandwich/snack sacks too as the school usually throws out the plastic ones.

    by Alison H - 06/2009

    My daughter has this bag, and I have a different pattern. We both love the bag. I love that its made in the USA (hard to find anymore), 100% lead-free, and easy to take care of (just throw it in the machine.) My daughter loves it because its different than everyone elses. They also hold quite a bit, more than you would think. The bag has held up great. She used it all last school year and I am sure that it will last many more. The only drawback is that an ice pack will sweat through the bag, so she has to keep it separate from her school folders and paper, but that is just a minor inconvienence.

    We love, love this lunch bag. Our daughter has used one for the past three years. It is cute, easy to pack, easy for her to carry, and most importantly, we throw it in the washing machine all the time and it still looks great afterwards.

    The medium size lunch bag was just the right size

    by Sonya W - 04/2009

    The medium size lunch bag was just the right size for taking my own lunches to work. I would be interested in seeing a smaller size for my little ones to take their snack/drink to school/daycare in. The price was reasonable, although you can purchase a similar style, larger, insulated, thermos bag for less - I have a couple different lunch bags I use. Of course, you won't get these styles. I will definately recommend and be back to browse/shop the new additions.

    by Lydia C - 01/2009

    I bought this lunch tote along with the happy sacks sandwich bags and happy sacks snack bags for my daughter for Christmas. She loves them and was the talk of her lunch group at work. Everyone wanted to know where she got them. She says they hold so much, and she is planning on getting more snack bags and sandwich bags. She also wants another lunch tote so she can switch around. Love your product. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!

    The bag is cute and I feel as though I'm helping the environment by reducing the number of plastic bags in the land fills.

    We love our "bug bag"!

    by Edith K - 11/2008

    We love our "bug bag"! It's the perfect size for my 7 year old son's lunch. The bag is big enough for a small thermos, water bottle and one or two other small containers or ice pack. The big plus is it is easily washable and I don't have to deal with lingering, smelly, sour odors! Edie

    I bought this lunch bag for my 4-year-old daughter

    by Stephanie M - 10/2008

    I bought this lunch bag for my 4-year-old daughter and the similar floral one for me. I feel so strongly about having products that are 100% lead free (not just "lead safe" as many lunch bags are labeled now). But I know my daughter also wanted something fun and colorful. She just loves the ladybugs and is always excited to take lunch with us in it. I love it because it's safe for her (and me) and is lightweight and very easy to clean.

    by Alison H - 09/2008

    I ordered the Ladybug Mimi the Sardine lunchbag for my daughter. She loves it because she loves the ladybugs, and no one else at school has one just like it. I like it because it is lead-free and made in the USA (which, when I looked at retail stores, I could not find a lunch bag that was made in the USA!!) I like that it is washable, though I haven't washed it yet. I can fit alot in it. The only drawback, which really is not that big a deal, is that if I use ice packs to keep her food cold the bag gets a little damp since it is not insulated. I just put the ice packs in a plastic bag and that seems to work out fine. I also ordered myself one (the Mimi Cats and Dogs), and I really like it too!
