Toby + Rei spin bamboo and cotton into a whole lot of cute
I don't think I could ever send my kids off to school with a flimsy paper lunch bag after getting one of Toby + Rei's sturdy and very cool reusable Robot Lunch Sacks. These heavyweight, 100% organic cotton sacks are so much bigger than the typical lunch bag, meaning I can get a sandwich, fruit, treat and reusable water bottle in there without later hearing about a squished PB&J. The stick-figure robots on the front of the bag could be passed from my daughters to my son and, unlike their latest pop obsession, would never become "so last year".

Boston-based Alanna Mallon and Kate Browning of Toby + Rei do not limit their amazing talents to reusable lunch bags, though. There are also super-soft, thick organic baby blankets made from bamboo fleece and organic cotton with adorable birds embroidered on, plus modern organic cotton t-shirts, all dyed locally using the most environmentally friendly techniques.

Nice to find another company that really is walking the eco-walk and not just jumping on the "let's get some PR out of this green trend" bandwagon
