Some serious design work has gone into these bags for carrying containers of food and bottles of drink. The line is called Bloom because the bags open wide, like flowers, to make putting a bowl or pan of food inside easier. The large size spreads to 14.5 inches (the small, to 8.5). The colorful canvas is lined with water-resistant material, has a removable insulated base inside, a drawstring closure and a convenient outside pocket. The company also makes a two-bottle wine carrier.
