Wondering what fits in this bag? See Size Guide

Bazura Medium Insulated Lunch Bags are made in the Philippines by a women's cooperative, utilizing used juice containers. These containers are purchased through a network of local school children. Indestructible and non-biodegradable by nature, foil juice packs clog landfills, fields and streets throughout the Philippines. Using clever designs that combine the material's strength & brilliant colors, the co-op helps keep the environment clean via this very cool method of recycling.

About Bazura Bags

Bazura Bags come from a women’s co-op in the Philippines that set up a Livelihood Project assisted by the local village council. With almost no capital, the women found a very clever way to support themselves.

Every day, children from the local schools collect over 50,000 used drink containers, called doy packs, then sell them to the co-op. The bags are sanitized and the women sew them together into attractive, durable bags.

Unlike most third world factory workers toiling away in sweatshops, these women are entrepreneurs and shareholders. They work for themselves and have a positive impact on their community and, at the same time, they encourage environmentalism.

Tips
  • Got a stuck zipper? Rubbing both sides of the zipper with a bar of soap or wax helps! Or try our other zipper tips.

Fact

  • It's estimated that millions of juice containers get thrown in the trash everyday in the Philippines.

    by brenda h - 11/2009

    I got one for my oldest son last year, who was 11, and he loves it. It did however start to rip near the handle at the end of the year. He doesn't mind that and keeps using it becuase he likes it so much. I bought one this year for my youngest, and in the second week the lining inside cracked at the corner, and of course he had a major spill in the lunch box too. So the food leaked through this crack between the layers. The crack is too small to be able to clean it out, and water gets in and just sits there. So I checked our first bag and it too has cracks in the inner liner, but since there have been no major spills it hasn't been a huge issue. So we love the concept, and the size and the look, but the cracking liners and ripping handles mean I can't really rate it very highly

    I love my insulated lunch box. It thrills me that it is made from post consumer waster and that it is assisting woman to sustain themselves. The bag is very fun and colorful and I get lots of comments on it.

    Great lunch bag

    by Anne M - 08/2009

    Great lunch bag. I have been using it this summer for beach trips - it is roomy enough to several sandwiches. I also really like that it is big enough for a frozen meal or the larger size tupperware - perfect for taking leftovers to work! It is also adorable and bright- mine is made of all orange drinks.

    by Sonia M - 07/2009

    I have been using this bag for a while (maybe over a year now). It is generously sized, easy to clean, and sturdy. I don't know if it really insulates very well; my stuff always goes into a refrigerator as soon as I get to work. The biggest problem is the zipper. It was problematic from the beginning. I have to be very careful to prevent the 2 sides from separating. It is only a problem on one half of the bag. I would not recommend this for children.

    by Marie H - 04/2009

    Received two bags about 2 weeks ago. Well made, cute, easy to use (zipper is sometimes a little hard to get started from corner). Bags were bigger than expected! We are very pleased with the productand the fact that the materials are recycled and provide work for people who need a source of income!

    by Laura J. F - 04/2009

    This sturdy lunch pail is roomy and colorful. We have ordered two so far, for our daughter and her friend, but only wish we could have received a different design on our second order, instead of another identical one.

    by Valerie S - 03/2009

    I've gotten quite a few compliments on this bag at work. Since my family is from the Phillippines, I thought it was a cool way to keep the trash off the streets. I've seen the horrible amount of trash that accumulates there, the saddest in a lake that my dad learned to swim in. It's a nice size, and will hold a 12oz kleen kanteen, 2 sandwiches, 2 small apples, a tiny tub of grape tomatoes and a full size of salad dressing all at once. I was surprised that after leaving my lunch with a cold klean kanteen (full of water) in there for two hours, the kanteen was still very cold! I would suggest using this with an ice pack or other cold item if you know your lunch needs to stay cold. However, if you put it in the refrigerator, it will easily chill because it's not think or of a traditional insulating material. I love this bag! I put my utensils and napkin in the pocket inside, though you could use it to hold an ice pack. My only complaint is that yesterday, I noticed that the material used as trim was starting to fray in the back, where they had finished it off. I'm going to put some Fray Check on it, which works really well and you can find it in a crafts store. Or use nail polish. It is a little bit disappointing, but since it's an easy fix I am not very troubled by it. I can see this product lasting a long, long time! The other reviewers do mention that it is hard to zip around the corners; it's more like an annoyance than a hassle, though I also recommend not unzipping it all the way.

    by Sarah H - 02/2009

    The medium Bazura bag is the perfect size for lunch - enough room for a to-go container or a couple of sandwiches, fruit, snacks, and a bottle of juice or soda. The rectangular shape and two sturdy handles make it easy to carry and store upright with little risk of spilling. It fits easily into the communal fridge at work without taking up too much space, and everyone comments on its fun appearance! Best of all, its made of re-purposed materials by a cooperative. What could be better?

    by Lori H - 02/2009

    I love the bag and have had several comments on it. It is an unusual size though and I can actually put less in it than the standard square lunch bag that I was using. The zipper sticks on one side. Overall though I am pleased and plan on using it for a long time to come.
