MY THOUGHTS
I received the Michelle Insulated Fashion Lunch Bag in Denim for review. It's been a very useful bag, and I can see more use for it in the future. I was thrilled to review this bag because most of our reusable bags are for kids or they are not insulated. This bag combines several features that would please moms on-the-go. First, it's stylish. I like the denim print; it's simple but chic. Quite honestly, it doesn't look like your typical insulated lunch containers, but it is. So far, I haven't gotten the outside soiled, but only time will tell. Just like jeans, when I get something on it, I just brush it off and it's good to go. I also like the handles. They are long enough so that I can hang them on my stroller, elbows, and shoulder. I'm okay that they are not adjustable, I just won't wear the bag across my shoulders.
The bag is a good size and the flat bottom helps with stability. As you can see, this bag can hold a lot of stuff. Although it is structured, the bag does have a little give. I've been able to squeeze in enough food for a lunch and 2 snack breaks in this bag. It will certainly come in handy when the I have to bring lunch for 2 kids and 1 adult, as well as beverages and an ice pack to keep everything cool.
The insulated part is easy to clean and maintain. I simply wipe with a damp cloth. So far, I haven't had anything leak or spill that required more clean up than that. On a hot summer day, this bag has been a savior. The insulation has kept our drinks nice and cold. I will be commuting quite a ways to school for the rest of the summer to finish my program and feel confident that my food will be safe in this bag. The price point of $24.95 is comparable to others in the market and will pay itself in the long run. The Michelle Insulated Fashion Lunch Bag is a great bag for yourself or a gift for a friend. It comes in 2 chic designs, Denim and Black, for a functional and reusable accessory.
