    I've seen a lot of people carrying Little Brown Bags which are quite cute. They're plastic tote bags with 'Little Brown Bag' on front. Just had a quick Google and they have a popper as well so will keep your stuff in. They're the right kind of size to put your lunch in.

    Personally I use a plastic bag, but stick it inside my handbag. The bag doubles up as a bin bag once I've had my lunch!

    I got a big handbag from Primark and I'll be using it at uni when I'm not dressed in jeans and a hoody - brown with studs on it (around the sides on the edges) and decent sized handles - think it was under a tenner.

    I do it all because I'm scared.
  • I have 1 of these http://www.cathkidston.co.uk/c-480-box-bags.aspx

    which i find is a perfect size for my lunch plus a water bottle and a book.
  • I was in TKMaxx last weekend and they had some really cute cooler bags, not like the regular type, they almost looked like handbags. I only wish I could remember the make! I think they were about a tenner.
