HOW IT'S MADE
Your lunch tote is hand sewn and might have some slight imperfections. Like a vintage timepiece, the slight imperfections add character to our professional lunch bags.
The Exterior
The exterior is made from the highest grade of vegan leather, also known as polyurethane (PU). PU is a synthetic polymer that mimics genuine leather without the drawbacks.
