In the Bag


We wrote about a lunch bag before.

But there are only so many who have access to a cafeteria that doles out pretty sea-blue bags in which we can tote home our goodies.

The rest of us have to — sniff — settle for the plebeian brown lunch bag.

Till now. Your shameful, crumpled bag-lady days are over. Enter Brave Brown Bag, a tote that’s impossible to rip, rumple, or destroy, is crafted with a cotton twill fabric, is water resistant, and has plastic handles that intertwine. It comes in six sizes (mini, midi, maxi, marche, madi, and ditty.)

Best of all, it’s not even brown. (At least they don’t call it such — rather terms used are “chestnut” and “walnut”). Other colors include avocado, almond, eggplant, raspberry, and ebony. Or for even more flair, indulge yourself with the prettiest Vivienne Westwood TartanBagtartan shopping bag from Vivienne Westwood.

Just in case you want to make sure your fellow bus rider knows you didn’t get your bag at the local deli.
