    You should know this is a handmade one of a kind item.
    And I do mean one of a kind.

    Ooh, this is a cool idea. I make totebags for people- I should make a bento! Does everyone like the flap version of opening or what about a zipper? I have some marine window plastic that would make a nice waterproof flap, but then is it just flapping around when you open it? I haven't seen one in action. Suggestions for optimal size would be great too.

    My local shop has them made with Hawaiian (hibiscus) prints. Of course, I had to have one.

    They also make saddlebags out of the same material.

    I love the idea of a zipper for a bento box on my mountain bike, where tipping over and spilling of contents is much more likely to happen! Something washable is good too. I keep my snacks in there- crumbs and stickiness are inevitable.

    I like the idea of a zipper because I'd be confident the contents would stay inside. But unlike a lot of other road cyclists, I've yet to master the art of riding without hands. Even with one hand I feel shakey. So the bag would have to be rigid enough that the zipper could be operated with one hand. Or I'll just have to open it when I'm stopped
