Drawstring Empire Cinch Lunch Cooler*
Perfect for the woman that isn't afraid of bold prints, this cooler tote is inspired by the art deco architecture of New York City: strong lines, repeating geometry and the kind of pattern that looks deliberate on a desk, a kitchen counter or a picnic blanket. It is a lunch cooler that does not look like one, which is the whole reason it gets carried instead of left in a cupboard.
The main compartment cinches closed with a drawstring, so it pulls shut in one motion and stays shut on the walk to the car. Inside, an insulated PEVA lining is what makes it a cooler rather than a tote, keeping a packed lunch, a bottle or a snack for the drive in better shape than a paper bag ever manages. An open front pocket with a Velcro closure takes the small things that should not be hunted for at the bottom of a bag: keys, a phone, a fork, a train pass. The handles have an 8" drop height, so it carries comfortably in the hand, and at 12" H x 10" W x 6" L it holds a real lunch without becoming a second piece of luggage.
Then it becomes hers. A name, a monogram or a short line is embroidered in-house by HansonEllis, personalizing gifts since 1999, in the font and thread color you set on this page, stitched rather than printed so it lasts as long as the bag does. Embroidered, the Drawstring Empire Cinch Lunch Cooler stops being a bag from a shop and becomes the one she recognizes across a break room, a beach or a car trunk full of everybody's things.
It is a natural bridesmaid gift, and it keeps working long after the wedding: a bridal shower, a birthday, Mother's Day, Christmas, a graduation, a new job, or a thank-you to a team who eat lunch at their desks. Give one and it turns up at work on Monday, at the beach in July and at the soccer field on Saturday.
Add your personalization text above, choose your quantity, and give her a lunch cooler she will actually want to carry.

Which one should I choose
A lunch bag is either hidden in a tote or carried openly, and that decides which one to buy.
| Drawstring Empire Cinch Lunch Cooler | Choose it when the bag should look good enough to carry on its own: a bold art deco print, an insulated PEVA lining, a cinch top and a name embroidered on it. |
|---|---|
| A plain insulated lunch bag | Choose that when it lives inside a larger bag and nobody sees it, and there is no reason to put a name on it. |
| A disposable bag or a plastic container | The thing this replaces: nothing insulated, nothing personal, and nothing left at the end of the week. |
For a bridesmaid or a gift, the embroidered cinch cooler is the one that keeps being used on ordinary Tuesdays.
