Tough & Sturdy Dabbawalla Bags

By now the school year is in full swing but in the midst of hunting down back-to-school supplies, escorting your children to birthday parties, work and everything else life throws at you, you actually forgot to grab a new back-pack. So, your child is still using his pack from the year prior which has two new tears making the total 7. Well, if your child is in need of a new pack we highly recommend Dabbawalla Bags.

Flexible and strong, Dabbawalla Bags are crafted entirely from neoprene, a versatile, washable, material that insulates and protects. Tough enough to take a lot of rough-and-tumble yet stylish enough to standout from the crowd, the bags are designed for children and child-minded adults who like to combine style with practicality. The water- and stain-resistant fabric keeps food cold for hours and is completely machine-washable. Inside and outside pockets provide extra convenience for stashing gear, and the backpack straps adjust from the inside to fit toddlers to tweens. Available at www.dabbawallabags.com and at specialty children's and gift retailers throughout the U.S.
