Ready to School – Insulated Lunch Bag And Water Bottle Review

Today’s post is about two stylish products that made my girls happy! I received Hango’s lunch bags and Francois et Mimi’s water bottles to review. First, let me share a picture of how cute these products are followed by my review.

Insulated Lunch Bags and Water Bottles

As you know, we are vegetarians, and I cook a lot. There is always leftovers that can be easily packed for lunch. And, it is always not easy to find enough portions of vegetarian meals at cafeterias. With that said, the stylish looking Hango’s pink lunch bags are being throughly tested by my daughters.  For testing purposes, I left hot and cold food in there at two different times  – cold stayed cold for about 5 hours and hot food stayed warm for about 4.5 hours. I noticed that the thermal insulation is quite dense and the exterior is made with a good quality material. The zipper is made of stainless steel, and feels sturdy. I don’t see this falling off and it zips up completely to secure insulation.

Large bag measures 6L x 6H x 10W inches and will hold decent sized lunch, a size that can fit in a six pack of your favorite soft drink. Small bag measures  5L x 5H x 7.5W inches, and will fit in fruits, yogurts and snacks. Both these bags fold up inside themselves for easy storage. Small bag initially seemed too small for me, but it is perfect to carry a fruit and a yogurt.

Next, the water bottles – my most favorite feature is these are lighter than I expected. When I read “Double Wall Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel” I assumed that it will be heavy, well that’s really not the case. This water bottle offers a ton of other features – BPA free, unbreakable, leak-proof with a flip-top lid, soft rubber mouthpiece, and a easy to carry handle grip. I tossed this into my bag, and to my surprise my cold beverage did not leak. The vacuum seal in the bottle keeps the liquids in there unless sucked from the straw top. BTW, my beverage stayed cold for several hours. Each bottle holds 20 ounces, a size that is not too big nor too small.  This is my second Francois et Mimi’s product, and I’m totally impressed with the style and quality of their products.

Overall, I’m impressed with both these products. The insulated lunch bag and water bottle are perfect to take to school or to work!

  1. Vidya your review makes it more desirable to get one set immediately

  2. I take my lunch to work with me everyday (or at least I try to). These lunch bags would be amazing! Also the thermos would be great!

  3. They sound like such great products, I am actually in the market for insulated lunch bags, so far what have seen has not been impressive enough for me to justify the spend but will need to look into this. Great review

  4. Maybe this is weird, but I really love lunch boxes. These look stylist and adorable! Thanks for sharing!

  5. Those lunch bags look awesome! I take my lunch to work everyday (I’m a teacher), and could totally use a bag like this!

  6. 4.5 hours is pretty good for an insulated container to keep things the right temperature – just enough time from packing lunch in the morning to lunch-time! I would have loved to have such a set as a kid, and am sure I’ll use something similar for kids if/when it’s appropriate. So much better than the metal or plastic lunchboxes we had as kids!

  7. THANK YOU for this! My son insists on packing lunch every day, and it is freezing here! I’m not sure which lunch boxes work best. I’m glad I can score them on Amazon!

  8. BPA Free and unbreakable is a great start. I like the way the water bottle look. Also that’s a pretty good lunch box for keep the food temps good for that amount of time.

  9. I love the color of that lunch bag! I have no use for a lunch bag as I work from home… but I would totally still buy it to use for other things.

  10. Totally sounds great for this household… my husband takes a lunch to work every day. So I’m always looking for something new. Thanks for sharing.

  11. I love using insulated water bottles when we travel and are on the go! The lunch boxes look like they would be perfect to take on the go and at work.

  12. The lunch box is spacious enough to fit a good meal. The bottle also looks impressive as it doesn’t leak.

  13. I have seen these before and they look like an awesome way to pack a lunch! This would be a great way to pack a small picnic or snack for the park!

  14. I couldn’t have seen this post at a better time. I just signed my daughter up for ballet and she needs a water bottle. I really like this one. Thank you!

  15. I want these both! I am definitely in need of a new water bottle. Can I ask how these wash out? I’ve found the stainless steel bottles sometimes get moldy after I take them out of the dishwasher- maybe they don’t dry well enough before I put the cap on? Not sure but it’s kept me from buying another one. I’d love to know how your experience with cleaning the Francois et Mimi’s was!

    1. Hello Ashley! These water bottles have a wide mouth therefore, is easy to clean. I have not tried the dishwasher yet, logo is too cute.. it might disappear if I put it in the dishwasher.

  16. Insulated lunch bags are a must! Love the colour and durability of these!

  17. I’m a vegetarian too…the only one in my family. 😉 It really is hard to find an ample number of options in so many places when your’e out and about, or people look at you like you’re crazy when you say, ‘no meat.’ I wish I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard, ‘No meat????’ 🙂 The bag and water bottle look handy! We pack lunches almost every week day here so we’ve always got our eyes open for new insulated bag options.

  18. That insulated lunch bag sounds awesome! I love that hot food stays hot and cold food stays cold, that’s super convenient for ant kind of meal <3
