Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a bag that keeps food and drink cold?

An insulated cool bag is the one built for that. Standard bags carry and organise rather than insulate, so if cold is the point, start with the cool bags.

Stanley 1913 Bags

Find the Right Bag

Carrying weight, or cycling.

You want the load on both shoulders and a back panel that copes with a full bag rather than an empty one. That is a backpack.

Light load, quick access.

Flat-bottomed so it stands up instead of slumping, open enough to see what is in it, and strong at the handles. That is a tote bag.

Hands free, minimal kit.

Close to the body, sized for a phone, keys and a bottle and nothing more. That is a crossbody bag.

Keeping a picnic cold.

Insulation rather than organisation, for a day out rather than a commute. That is a cool bag.

Room for Full-Size Drinkware

This is the practical difference between a Stanley 1913 bag and a generic one. Bottle pockets are cut for the sizes actually sold here, so a full 1.18L tumbler sits in one without stretching the fabric or tipping out at the first corner. If you have ever tried to carry a large tumbler in a bag designed for a slim sports bottle, that is the problem being solved.

Lunch Bags

Insulated, soft-bodied, and cut so a container stands upright rather than rolling onto its side. Sized for a proper meal rather than a sandwich. For the rigid version, see lunch boxes.

Work Bags

Built for a bag that gets carried loaded, five days a week, for years. The test is not how it looks in the first month but whether the zip still runs and the base still holds its shape in the third year.

Built for Life, Built to Last

A bag that lasts ten years is not four bags. Cheap ones go at the zip, the strap join and the base, in roughly that order, so those are the three places worth spending on. It is the same argument Stanley 1913 makes about steel, applied to fabric.

Complete Your Collection

Fill the bottle pocket from water bottles or tumblers. Pack a meal in an insulated food container. Everything Stanley 1913 makes sits under Drinkware.

Backpacks

The everyday workhorse. Room for a laptop, a day's food and a full-size tumbler without any of them fighting for space, with a back panel and straps built for a bag that gets carried loaded rather than carried empty.

Tote Bags

For days when a backpack is more than you need. Flat-bottomed so it stands up instead of slumping, wide enough at the mouth to see what is in it, and strong enough at the handles to be trusted with a full shop.

Crossbody Bags

Small, close to the body, hands free. The format for a commute, a festival or a city day when you want your phone, keys and a bottle and nothing else.

Lunch Bags

Soft-sided, insulated and sized around a real meal rather than a sandwich, shaped so a food container travels upright instead of tipping. If it is the rigid container you want rather than the bag around it, that is the lunch boxes range. And if the job is keeping a picnic properly cold rather than carrying a lunch, our cool bags for picnics and days out are built for that.

Room for Full-Size Drinkware

Bottle pockets across the range are cut for the sizes Stanley 1913 actually sells, which is why a full 1.18L tumbler sits in one without stretching the fabric or falling out at the first corner.

Built for Life, Built to Last

A bag that lasts ten years is not four bags. The parts that fail first on a cheap bag are the zip, the strap join and the base, and those are the three places worth paying for. It is the same argument Stanley 1913 makes about steel, applied to fabric.
