apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

It's nearly time to go back to school so it's the perfect time to think about reusable lunch bags. These Lunch Monsters really made us chuckle - each is made to order from your choice of six cotton fabrics: red, green, blue, purple, brown or grey and your choice of white or black snaps ("eyes"). If they become soiled you can wash them in the washing machine.

The Lunch Monsters' official name is Harold, but I don't think their creator, Samantha, would mind if your kids renamed them. They cost $32 or $38 for the "huggable" version (top) with straps.
