Lunch Bag for Adult Male?

Good evening,
My OH takes his lunch box and fruit etc in a carrier bag but I'm looking for an alternative that looks a little nicer. I was thinking something along the lines of this http://www.amazon.co.uk/dotcomgiftshop-Woodland-Charlotte-Bag/dp/B001BGP5DE/ref=tag_dpp_lp_edpp_img_in
The only problem is the design is a bit girly him!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dotcomgiftshop-Lunch-Bag-Cars-Blue/dp/B001AEFH6W/ref=pd_sim_kh_31
I'm not sure if this one would be big enough as it needs to fit 1 or 2 takeaway sized boxes, fruit and a biscuit. Does anyone know of anything that fits the bill? Maybe a patterned tote that may appeal to a 25 year old male?
Thanks for any suggestions!
EDIT: Some people seem to be missing the point that the above links aren't a suitable pattern, hence why I'm posted here. I'm just after something of a similar shape, preferably not in plain blue or black!

Your 'aving a laff
Try something like this instead

Bless, I think even my 6 yr old would be embarrassed to take that!
I like the above suggestion, but how about just a plastic box inside his bag?0 -

Hysterical
sorry for laughing0 -
Does it have to be specifically a lunch bag?? OH takes an Eastpak backpack with some tupperware tubs with sardines or leftover pasta etc. Also big enough for his newspaper, iPod, keys, extra jumper etc. In the summer he sometimes uses a mini cool bag but that still goes inside the backpack....0

Some ideas here:

Can't he just take tupperware type boxes in a rucksack?:hello:0 -
Yep, either a rucksack-type thing or a plain black messenger bag that you can wear over the body for hands-free travelling pleasure0

I don't really see what's funny about wanting to find something that's a little nicer than a carrier bag...
A rucksack wouldn't really be suitable as it doesn't need to be that big and needs to fit inside his locker at work. He also drives so there's no issue of travelling, it's just to keep everything together. I was hoping to get something that wasn't plain and boring.0 -

I understand what you mean, but posting a link to a small lunchbag that is more suited to a toddler boy is what people find funny, well I did!
There's nothing wrong with wanting more than a plastic box, but surely he'd be embarrassed by something so babyish?0 -
How about something like this, the he can put a plastic box or bag inside.
