5 out of 5 starsMy lunch bag was just as described and somehow even better. I first had to touch it fully to appreciate the fine, quality fabrics in complementary design, expert sewing and attention to every detail from Velcro placements, charming buttons and forgivingly long cross-body strap for those of us normally with their hands full. It is also agreeably bigger than expected, fully lined and durable. You can even wash it! This gentle craftswoman has thought of everything. I highly recommend her wares.

5 out of 5 starsWhat a marvellous lunch bag! It looks even better in person than in the photos. The size is perfect: its height is slightly less than the length of my forearm, and it is longer and wider than it is tall. This allows it to be functional without appearing bulky. It is made with high quality materials: the outer fabrics are soft and creamy, and the inner insulation does not have the cheap hard plastic feel that many lunch bags have. The entire bag is thick and durable, but can also be completely flattened and folded. The top has velcro strips on all sides, inside and out. The stitching is hidden perfectly, and there is not one single seam that feels loose nor weak. It even comes with an extra, longer strap for portability. At my request, France made this lunch bag in only on week. I am so grateful to her.
About cousudefilgris
You never know where life will lead you ...
The cousudefilgris story began when my fourteen-year-old daughter wanted to make a lunch bag for herself. We got the fabrics out and made the very first prototype.
During the year that followed, I made several lunch bags, improving on the design with each one. I added insulation, a shoulder strap, etc.
One day, a friend asked me if I would make a lunch bag for her daughter. Soon after, I started getting phone calls from strangers who had heard about my lunch bags from others.
Three years (and as many Christmas bazars) later, I opened shop on Etsy with my lunch bags and occasionnaly other products in the cousudefilgris line.
All are made by hand, using mostly recycled fabrics: damaged clothes and fabric leftovers.
And by the way, what does cousudefilgris mean? In French, we have this expression: "cousu de fil blanc" which translates, litteraly, to "sewn with white thread". It is said of a story that is obviously a fabrication: the white thread gives it away. When I decided to use only grey thread in my work, I just knew that my products would go by the name "sewn with grey thread".
