So, I've come up with this bag:
It is approximately 7" wide x 11" high x 4" deep, a perfect lunch size.The tabs you see will have snaps (poly resin snaps), and the snaps will have two points to snap.
First, they will snap here:
And then if you want to fold the top down further, they will snap here:
The bag outside is 100% cotton with a ribbon embellishment, and the inside is lined with a PUL, waterproof laminated knit.
The entire bag is machine washable, lightweight, and oh yah, also comes with a cloth napkin! I'm expecting retail price to be about $18. I also plan to offer a set with matching snack and/or sandwich bags too.What I'm looking for is opinions! I want to know what you like, what you don't like, what you think the bag needs, what it doesn't need, etc. I want to make a great lunch bag, and that requires hearing from more than the voices in my head (lol!).
So let me hear what you have to say!

I love it! It looks great for a kid's lunch but would it be big enough for reusable plastic containers most adults use for their lunches? Or will you make it available in bigger sizes as well? I love the idea of making coordinating snack bags plus a napkin.
love it! finally a reusable lunch bag on etsy! (and it has a 2-step rise, lol)
I love the coordinating snack bag and napkin idea, and the demo is gorgeous. if there's any way to add a handle I think that would be awesome.
Insulated, perhaps, so yoggies and cheese sticks could be kept "fridged" til lunchtime? A handle would be a great idea, too, for easier carrying on a commute with the purse/backpack :) Love the idea of coordinated sandwich/snack bags, too - very fun and practical idea!
I totally second the comments about the napkin and snack bags and I would say it definately needs a handle.
Great ideas!
i think that's a great idea! but seeing how many sales you currently have to work on, i'm thinking we'll be seeing this in the future! :) but yes... it's a great idea.
Aww, looks lovely!! :)
Not too sure about the PUL myself - maybe need to read up more about it, health-wise..
about refrigiration mentioned, maybe something like 'insulating bag in a bag' could be done?
(I have a pic of something like this at my blog here, it was Mum's idea, great for shopping or carrying around edibles!)
this one is big, shopping-tote-size, not sure if smaller ones just-for-lunch exist!
I am SO looking for a lunch bag - I second the comments regarding having it be big enough for reusable containers. The biggest problem I have with lunch bags right now is that they don't hold all of my containers - I usually have a sandwich sized one as well as at least 2 smaller ones for fruit/veggies. LOVE the idea of it coming with a reusable napkin as well. Let me know when it comes out!
