Small Felt Tote Bag

Minimal yet cute handbag made of 100% wool felt. 

I designed a lunch bag with water-resistant inner bag, and this bag is the same design WITHOUT the inner bag. If you are carrying a lunch box with no fear of soup leakage, you can use this bag as a lunch bag, too!

- 2 inner pockets can organaize your small articles like a smartphone, a card or coin case and keys
- Smooth zipper closure
- Wool's high insulation performance keeps the contents cold / hot for long time
- Flat on the bottom so that you can keep food upright, or you can use this bag as a camera bag, too
- Can hold a lunch box and 500ml pet bottle / thermos

- The body size: height 9", bottom 9.4" x 6.3", width 14.2", handle loop 11.4" 
(height 23cm, bottom 24cm x 16,5cm, width 36cm, handle loop 29cm)
- The handle is enough big to be looped through the arm, but not to be hooked on one's shoulder
- Total weight: 0.75 lbs (0.34kg).

****The design story:
In Japanese cuisine, we have a style of food called bento, which is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal. Some years ago, one of my Japanese friends suggested me to design a lunch bag using wool felt, because of the wool's high insulating quality. She said that due to the long-lasting bad economy and the stream of concerning about health, people in Japan have been enjoying cooking at home, and home-packed bento lunch had been booming even among businessmen. That was the trigger of designing this bag, and this bag is without the inner bag. Read my trial-and-error prototyping story on my blog.
