I mentioned new diaper bags from DadGear last week, but there was another type they were showing off that I'd never seen before either. The Billboard Series diaper bag is made from a piece of a real billboard, making each one durable and one of a kind.
I never knew, but the material that makes up the billboards that we drive past every day is a kind of vinyl with nylon "cloth". The stuff is extremely durable (as it would have to be to hold up to the elements) which is also great for dad diaper bags.
The way it works is the guys from DadGear get a used billboard, clean it thoroughly, and lay it out on the floor. Then they go around with a template and decide where they should cut the cloth into the shape for a diaper bag. So each diaper bag is unique and one of a kind. The bags have all of the standard diaper bag stuff that DadGear provides (including the "Quick Access WIpes Case") and are all very graphical and look cool. They're definitely my favorite bags in their product line.
The Billboard Series diaper bags are eco-friendly (they're made of recycled material after all) and cost $99.00 at DadGear.com.
