If you ever find yourself in that situation, then the Dinner Bag by Nik Bentel Studio might just be your lifesaver.

Known for pushing the boundaries of everyday objects, Nik Bentel Studio has transformed the classic handbag into a playful accessory that can turn heads and spark conversation. With its unexpected inspiration and meticulous attention to detail, the Dinner Bag is both a purse and a delightful piece of wearable art.

Designer: Nik Bentel Studio
At first glance, it appears to be a beautifully crafted leather handbag, but a closer look reveals its delightful twist: this is the world’s first designer purse that lets you take dinner anywhere, complete with a detachable ceramic plate, steel fork, and knife. The Dinner Bag’s design is sleek and modern, with a clean silhouette that’s both stylish and practical. Crafted from genuine leather, the bag exudes quality and attention to detail. The smooth exterior is complemented by sturdy handles and a matching leather crossbody strap, so you can carry it however suits your style. The leather hangtag is more than just a fashionable accent—it holds an authentication card, underscoring the exclusivity and artistry of this collectible accessory.
Functionality is at the heart of the Dinner Bag. Securely fastened to the front of the bag are a full-size ceramic plate and a set of polished steel utensils, held in place by tailored leather straps. The plate and cutlery are not just for show—they’re fully detachable, allowing you to enjoy a proper meal wherever you find yourself, whether that’s a park, a gallery opening, or a spontaneous picnic with friends. This clever feature takes the concept of on-the-go dining to a whole new level, blending practicality with a sense of fun and adventure.
Open the magnetic closure and you’ll discover an interior lined in soft suede, offering a luxurious home for your essentials. There’s even a zippered pocket to keep your valuables organized and safe. The thoughtful layout ensures the bag is as useful as it is unique, making it a standout companion for both everyday errands and special occasions. The Dinner Bag is available in three classic colors: black, brown, and red, so you can choose the hue that best matches your personality or wardrobe. Each colorway offers the same meticulous construction and playful spirit that make this piece a true original.
What truly sets the Dinner Bag apart is its sense of novelty. This is not just a handbag, but a creative statement about how we dine, socialize, and express ourselves. It’s perfect for those who appreciate a good conversation starter and love pieces that blur the line between art and utility. Most likely, those who carry this bag will never actually use the cutlery attached, but if the occasion ever arises, it’s nice to know you can simply pull them out and enjoy your meal in style.
