Once baby is done wearing diapers, you don’t want to have to throw out your purse with the Pampers. If you’re going to invest in a diaper bag, get one that can have a life beyond just hauling baby’s nappies, snacks and bottles. Here are ten stylish picks of purses that can perform double duty from storing diapers to day-to-day dashing.
Maelee Chloe Diaper Bag (above)
This supple leather bag has a couple amazing things features. There are eleven, yes eleven, easy access pockets inside as well as one big zippered interior pocket and that’s in addition to the two exterior pockets in the front of the bag. With that many pockets, you’ll need access (and it comes with labels so you'll know what's what). Luckly, the purse’s zipper opens all the way around so that everything is easy to get to. With or without baby, you’ll need to get access to all your stuff. $255 here.
Storksak - Emily
Say hello to Emily! This soft nylon shoulder bag really does look like a standard purse, but with a couple key differences. Does a normal bag have dual side zip thermo-insulated hidden bottle pockets? Yeah, I thought not. The bag also comes with a changing pad and a detachable inner bag for your baby’s wipes or mommy’s make-up. $175 here. 
Timi & Leslie Black Mod Diaper Bag

Not Rational – Grey Kelly Diaper Bag

But Not Rational uses a superior material such as that for their Kelly Diaper Bag.
