TLane: ‘Green’ Canvas Lunch Sacks

Take a trip to TLane’s Etsy store and you’ll find a candy shop for all ‘green’ shoppers. At the Crafty Bastards Festival, be on the look-out for her adorable canvas lunch bags!

1. Is there a specific product that you will be selling at the fair that you would like to talk about?

I’d like to tell you about my canvas lunch sacks because they are great for any green-minded person on the go! I use one everyday to carry my lunch to work. They are made out of cotton, washable canvas, and are 7″ wide by 10.5″ tall with a 4.5″ gusset. All of the stenciled designs are one of a kind (each lunch bag is unique).

2. Does this product have an origin story? Did the idea come to you in a dream or through a portal or other strange way?

Many of my lunch sacks feature utensils (knife, fork, spoon). I started using these because they remind me of signs on the highway notifying drivers that food is at an upcoming exit. I also create stencils featuring a bear with a giant fork or dropping/juggling fruit. They remind me of roadside attractions and oddities across America. I love road trips.

3. What famous personality (alive or dead, real or imagined) would most likely be found wearing/holding/admiring this product? Why?

Johnny Appleseed because he could easily transport his seeds in this sturdy sack. I think he would also really be impressed by the velcro closure and handle.

4. Convince me that this piece should be one of only 3 things I could take with me to a deserted island!

This sack would be very helpful if you were on a deserted island because you could collect food from the beach and the ocean in it. It is washable, so after collecting food you could wear it as a hat. Finally, if you found some soft grasses, you could stuff them inside, seal up the velcro and use it as a pillow at night.
