The crossover of food and fashion is not unheard of, and its quirks continue to thrive today. Even global style stars like Heart Evangelista can’t get enough! Displaying a masterclass in print-on-print suiting, she layered a ribbed tank top with a pinstripe waistcoat and blazer. Juxtaposing the structured garb were a pair of palazzo pants adorned with a solar-like pattern.

Heart brought coolness to the corporate chic attire with dark-rimmed specs, and a scarf complete with an adorable dachshund brooch. In her hand was none other than Saint Laurent’s Take-Away Box.

The Best Lunchbox-Inspired Bags
Saint Laurent
Take-Away Box
We start off strong with the very bag spotted on Heart Evangelista. The designer bag exhibits Italian craftsmanship, as its handles function just like an actual takeout box. Made of calfskin leather and lined with suede, it provides a luxurious spin on the famous gastronomic symbol. It’s also elevated by a debossed YSL logo all over, topped off with an eye-catching metal emblem.

Louis Vuitton
Sandwich Bag
Also drawing inspiration from the classic lunch bag is the Louis Vuitton Sandwich Bag. Painted in the iconic saffron and blue hues of the French fashion house’s retail packaging, it’s far from ordinary. Crafted from premium cowhide leather, the clutch is nothing short of meticulous.
First introduced in 2023 and made available for purchase a year later, the audacious bag has kept an elusive status since. It was sold exclusively at the brand’s West Hollywood pop-up for over $3,000 (around P170,000), and now resells for triple that amount.

Lunch Bag
If streetwear is more up your alley, the Carhartt Lunch Bag would make a great choice. The canvas bag comes in the brand’s renowned hamilton brown shade, and it features the classic fold-over top—complete with a snap button closure for security. As thoughtful and efficient as you’d expect from a workwear company, it’s coated with dry wax for a water-repellent finish.
