Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Flip Top Lunch Box

It's a great lunchbox and all of her lunch containers fit in it. However, less than a month into school, the handle frayed and came apart. Very disappointed with the quality.

Holds up well except the liner in this particular design. The liner broke on day 2 of use when I sent in an insulated container of good. Third time this happened over years with this design.

The top handle frayed and is hanging by a string after 2 uses!

I don't typically submit reviews but felt the need this time. I've had two of these lunch boxes over many years. This one is, by far, a much lower quality. The material is thinner and clearly the stitching that holds the lunch box together and the handles on is poor quality. The shoulder strap is almost useless as it is in the wrong place so the lunchbox hangs upside down consistently. Very very disappointed, especially since this lunchbox is pricey. Very disappointed in llbean!

Nicely constructed , but smaller than I expected. At $30+ not worth the money in my opinion

Make sure to measure I found it way too small vs Prior 5 yo model

I initially bought this lunchbox for my husband a few months ago. We initially liked the size and design. But I just noticed that the handle is breaking off on one side. I do not pack heavy lunches and my husband merely carries the lunchbox from the house to his car during the week (so not holding handles for any extensive length of time).

The handle on my son's lunchbox broke in January. I see others have had the same problem. These are expensive, and I expect them to last the whole year, not break less than halfway through.

Not happy at all! This is our second lunchbox of this type. The first one had to be replaced after two weeks of using it. The handle on the top came out of the stitching and began to unravel. Got it replaced and the second one has done the same thing!!! I've always thought LLBEAN had the best quality product but I'm beginning to question that!

I purchased this lunch box as a replacement to the one my kids have used for the last several years. The old one was slightly larger but you no longer seem to have it in stock. Even though it's the same shape as the old one, it is by no means comparable. I can't fit an ice pack and a water bottle in it, I need to choose one or the other. Please bring the "cooler" sized lunch box back.

Small & not quality

The handle broke first time it was used. We reported it and received another. Same thing happened again. My grandson now just has to carry it without a handle.

The lunch box handle detached the first day I used it.

My son has used his for 1.5 months and the handle broke this morning. I'm so disappointed. Now we have to pay shipping to send it back. Would not recommend.

I love the size of this lunch box but it only made it two days at school before the handle broke. It not only left us in need of a lunch box but also dreading having to call and attempt to get a new one. We have loved everything from llbean so I'm hoping this was just a one time thing and not representative of a change in quality.

The handle fell off on day two of use. My son used it to pack a light lunch for school! Not typical LL bean quality. Will be taking back to store this week!

Horrible quality, did not even take my son two weeks through school.

I have always been a huge fan of LLBean backpacks. Ours have always lasted for years and years. I recently ordered my 7th grade son a LL Bean backpack and a lunch box. On the first day of school part of his lunchbox handle broke. On the second day of school the other side of his lunchbox handle broke. We were so disappointed!

My son used his new lunch bag for 3 days and the handle came off. It has been very gently used as is evident from the picture attached below. Very unhappy with the quality of the bag for the price. Need a replacement.

The same manufacturing defect on two lunchboxes caused the handle to fall off the first time my son took it to school. The handle came off on one side, my son is quite careful with his things and BOTH lunch boxes fell apart the first day. The first one came off before he got on the bus. Avoid these until they figure out what is going wrong.

This lunch box is too small! Nothing fits into it.

The top handle ripped off mid school year within first year of purchase. Won't be repurchasing.

I bought this for my son, and the handle ripped right off of the top after 2 days of carrying to school. Very disappointed, as i have purchased these in the past and they are still good.

Cutest lunch box for my toddler. Unfortunately, after his 2nd use, the handle broke. Can you please replace this item?

This is much smaller than it looks. It also seemed poorly made. The next size up for $44.95 had a sturdier handle and is considerably larger.
