stylish lunch bags?

I prefer the insulated kind so I don't have to put it in the communal fridge (ours is always smelly/grungy even though it's emptied and cleaned every week).

I'd love a Coach one if it was insulated (since I'd keep it at my desk anyway, I wouldn't worry about drips/smells/ theft).

I've seen some nice ones called "Elle" - not sure if they have anything to do with the magazine or not, but they were in a bookstore.

They looked like stylish purses (not the "kid's lunchbox" styles they sell in Walmart and such). Prices were around $20-25 depending on the size/style.
 
If you've ever seen some really cute lunchboxes/bags, show them! I'm searching for one right now, that's not kiddy or dumpy, but still pretty and cute. If I didn't find one that I liked, I was thinking that I could take a bag and try to use it as a lunchbag. ( Like a longchamp or a Cath Kidston) I don't know how I could insulate it though. Can anyone help me?
 
I just use almost any of my regular purses as a lunch bag, sometimes with other stuff and sometimes alone. I just make sure that the lunch is in a quality tightly sealed container which is also in a Ziploc bag. The utensils and sides are also in Ziploc bags. I frequently reuse the Ziploc bags after washing them to prevent waste.
 
a Longchamp is a great lunchbag!

Agreed! It may not be insulated but it's so easy to clean up! I've spilled tons of sauces and dressings in there and all I had to do was turn it inside out and wipe it down with a wet paper towel! It's great cuz it's water resistant granted you don't let whatever spillage sit and soak in there for long!
