The tub of ice cream always looks like a good idea in the supermarket. Then you remember there’s an MRT ride and a walk home between you and the freezer. These eight insulated bags and boxes include foldable totes, a backpack that leaves your hands free and hard-sided coolers for bigger outings.
1. Foldable Full-Zip Cooler Bag
Two cooler bags sit side by side, each with a beige front, a black zipper, a short top handle and a small red CAMPS patch. One has an orange top and the other has a green top, so you can tell them apart at a glance.
The bag folds away when it’s empty, which is handy if your grocery run starts on the way home from work. The same page also has a green bag, so go for the “Orange” one.

2. Japan Chepeli Foldable Insulated Drawstring Tote
White flowers cover the orange body of this Chepeli tote, and two brown handles sit above the print. The pale yellow top closes with a drawstring, which is a cord you pull to gather the opening shut once you’ve packed the bag.
The tote is insulated to slow down changes in temperature, so it’s handy for picking up something chilled on the way home. It folds up when empty. For the white flowers on the orange tote, go for the “Orange Floral” one.
