Swoop Café Tote | Stylish and Practical Art Deco Lunch Bag

Posted on: Feb 2

Swoop puts the style back into work lunches with this chic Café Tote.

At first glance, it appears like a regular tote bag. The art deco print might look a little dated, but it still wouldn't be out of place braving the urban jungle or hitting the mall. There are more appealing tote bags out there, but very few lunch bags which look this good.

Its appeal goes beyond the surface though. The interior is lined in PEVA, a fabric which acts as an insulator to keep your lunch at the ideal temperature. The lining wipes clean too, so it's perfect for its practical purpose. Lunch bags need little to stay organized, but I appreciate the mesh pocket. I can just imagine using it to carry napkins, utensils, or tiny condiment sachets.

My only gripe is the zip. While it keeps the tote safe and secure, it's just not long enough for us to get things in and out. Extending it would have made the Swoop Café Tote much more user friendly.

Still, this is a minor quibble for an otherwise well thought out tote. And at just $25, it's a flaw I'm willing to forgive.
