Let’s face it: you probably don’t give that much thought to your lunch bag — if you even have one, that is. Because you might be tossing your containers directly in a work bag.

But considering you save heaps every time you bring in lunch — and that putting it in an insulated, not to mention stylish, lunch bag might encourage more of that — it’s worth investing in one you like.

The very best of The Latch delivered straight to your inbox.

So, ahead, we’ve rounded up a few of our personal favourites. From a chic lunch bag made from natural jute, to another that, when you’re finished what’s inside, folds flat, these are our picks for the best insulated lunch bags.

Dinner’s got nothing on lunch with this natural jute lunch bag. It’s got a hook for hanging, and comes in canvas or waxed canvas, too.

Use this bag to carry nibbles to the beach, a picnic or work. The lining is made from aluminium foil and, inside, is filled with 3mm thick, heat-insulating pearl foam.

Though this bag is light (it’s 148g), it’s roomy enough to carry lunch and snacks. Once you’re done, you can flatten the lunch bag so it’ll easily fit into your workbag.

This lunch bag can hold up to 12 cans of 330ml drinks. The top of it is flexible, so you can roll it up or down, depending on what you put into it.

This lunch bag is made with polyester canvas, insulated lining and cotton handles. It features a picnic-ready gingham print.

This insulated lunch bag has a zip top, a pocket you can use to store utensils and snacks and a leak-proof lining. Place an ice pack on top of your food so that the air flows down and it’s kept cool.
