I was given the opportunity to try out the latest offerings from Graze Organic – their line of sandwich and lunch bags, as well as their napkins. After using them for a week, I can recommend trying out a set for yourself. Of course switching from reusable containers to reusable bags took a little adjusting for me. However, I quickly got over the fact that instead of emptying my lunch bag into the dishwasher, they went into the clothes washer. After 3 washes the bags appear to be durable and should hold up well over the long run.
We put the napkins out for a dinner party last Sunday, and the guests (and my wife) liked them a lot. We especially like the black dog napkins. (Who is that Diggs? They should tell the story on the webpage.) The ant ones? not as big of a hit, at least in our household…
The price is admittedly a little steep, $24 for a set of 3 bags or for a set of 4 napkins. However, they would make a great gift, and will give you years of guilt-free lunch time snacking. The artwork is great, and silk-screened by hand. From the site:
We use only 100% certified organic cotton. All the artwork is done with water based inks, each silkscreened by hand. And everything is made locally to keep the carbon footprint light. Sure, we could have made our bags much cheaper with conventional chemical laced cotton and heavy metal dyes. But then that would defeat the purpose, don’t you think?
Stop by the Graze Organic site today to view their entire collection. Thanks to Heather and Leslie for the opportunity to try out their fine product!

With a little cutting and sewing (optional) our family has turned old shirts into napkins. It doesn’t contribute to mass production. I highly agree that cloth should be used and with a bit of sewing skill you can make them look store bought if that is what you desire. If not, cut up the shirt and they are ready to go. :~D I would suggest taking a paper towel and making your cloth napkin an inch larger on all sides. This seems to be the best dimension,
I just roll them up and have them ready to go in a basket sitting in front of the paper towels. Two thumbs up for cloth napkins!

Seems like people won’t jump on a trend until its functional and beautiful. Our boy will surely enjoy bringing his lunch in these cool bags. Could even be a show and tell. Thanks for highlighting this product!

I think this is a GREAT idea. They look like they would work very nicely and fit into a lunch box or bag very well; perfect for someone who often eats lunch away from home, I think. I like the fact that they are cloth and re-usable – much more flexible and easier to store, than tupperware.

[...] I went visiting. I began at the Groovy Green blog and discovered lunch bags…something that I really am looking for as I pack lunches for myself [...]

These are really cute, and will save a ton of plastic ziplock bags. Be sure to put them in an insulated lunch bag with a freezer pack to keep them “food safe”.
