Butterfly Insulated Lunch Bag with Zip

This insulated lunch bag is covered in a naturalist's print of butterflies. Each one is drawn in fine detail and labelled with its common and Latin names, from the Small Copper and the Comma to the Painted Lady, the Brimstone and the Large White. The ground is a soft mint green, while the zip and the two carry handles are a deep brick red that picks up the warmer tones of the wings. It is a neat box shape, 21cm long, 12cm wide and 16cm high, so it sits upright on a desk or slips into a tote without taking over.

We see it as an everyday companion for packed lunches away from home: the office, a day out, a picnic in the park or a long walk in the countryside. The zip runs around three sides of the lid, so the top opens wide and you can see what you have packed at a glance. The pair of handles makes it easy to carry by hand or alongside a work bag. Because each butterfly carries its name, it is a cheerful talking point at the lunch table and a gentle way to learn the difference between a Comma and a Small Copper.

The outer is 90% recycled polypropylene with 10% OPP, and the bag as a whole is made from 47% recycled materials. Inside, a layer of EPE foam and a foil lining provide the insulation, and the handles are nylon webbing. When lunch is done it folds flat, so it tucks into a drawer or a bag until the next day. Care is simple: it is wipe clean only, so a damp cloth over the inside and out keeps it fresh. Pack it with an ice block for warmer days, or wrap it with a few treats inside as a thoughtful present.
