The Beauty of the Pinnington Diaper Bag - A Babble Review

SunnyChanel — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 18:00:00 GMT

I may not be homeless, but I am a bag lady. Clutches, handbags and a flirty purses were my poison before the birth of my daughter. All those smaller (read=unpractical) carryalls have since been shoved to the back of the closet. My new fetish? Diaper Bags.

I got the opportunity to test drive one of the most stunning and also practical diaper bags in the “stylish mom” category – The Anna Diaper Bag by Pinnington Bags. This gorgeous handmade number is made from a silk damask and has a sturdy wool base. Their line includes a bevy of brocades, gorgeous damasks and other luxurious fabrics and rich, subtle and dare I say, romantic hues.

The bag is lined with a colorful laminated thick fabric for easy clean up. A baby bottle, a sippy cup and a diaper could explode in there all at once and after a little clean up, it would be as good as new.

The size of the bag is perfect, I was able to carry all my baby necessities as well as a couple of favorite books, a change of clothes and all my own personal tidbits. And it comes with a laminated cushioned changing pad that matches the lining.
The thick strap is a perfect length for those of us who like to carry a bag slung across the body, something I haven’t been able to do with my other diaper bags. This makes for some great weight distribution, especially when you’re lugging around a ever growing baby/toddler/kid. There are five roomy interior pockets which makes for some super easy organization and two subtle bottle/sippy pockets on either side.

Best of all, when you are done lugging around diapers and changing pads, the Pinnington bags can transition into a fabulous carryall for every day use. It doesn’t scream diaper bag, just style. Now that’s my kind of bag.

You can get one like the one pictured above for $330 here.

A Diaper Bag to Drool Over

SunnyChanel — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 18:00:00 GMT

For those of us who may have a bag fetish, this one is for you. I should start off by saying that this diaper bag costs $415. But it is a style that doesn’t scream “I’ve got diapers, wipes and spit up covered clothes in me,” and better yet it can transition easily from ‘Diaper Bag’ to a everyday "what kids?" bag’.

The Mercer Diaper bag is by Nest and is made of a ‘sleek’ patent leather with suede details. It also comes with long removable stroller straps. If you’d like to check it out or at least ogle it a little longer, you can check it out from Lifesize Kids here.

Liv + Co's Stylish and Smart Diaper Bags

elizabeth leach — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 14:30:00 GMT

My first diaper bag looked like a diaper bag. It was a nice diaper bag but it was a diaper bag. And I was a proud mommy thrilled to be carrying a diaper bag everywhere I went. I’m still a proud mommy but I miss the days of carrying a stylish handbag. I miss leaving the house without my darling daughter. I miss reading books… okay, I digress.

My second diaper bag looks like a purse but it’s got all the necessities of the best diaper bag - the handy pockets, the washable lining, and the very important matching changing pad. Liv + Co diaper bags are sophisticated, luxurious, and smart. They have everything my old diaper bag had but cleverly hidden inside a stylish handbag. And I don’t mean “hidden” because I don’t want people to know I’m carrying a diaper bag. I still have my darling daughter in tow, after all. But I’m stylin’.

Hand Made: Elephant Handbag Lets You Pack a Pachyderm

Mir — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 13:01:00 GMT

If she's nutty about elephants, she'll want this hand-felted elephant handbag from Chasing Fireflies. An elephant topped by all kinds of pompoms? Heaven.

Of course, at $48 I'd be studying the design and then gluing my own pompoms to an old slipper or something, and I'd burn myself with the glue gun and swear a lot and end up with something hideous-looking and wonder why she's crying about it, and... okay, maybe you're better off just buying one.

Hand Made: Sweetie Pies Petal Purse for Little Tulips

Mir — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 21:03:00 GMT

There's nothing a sweet little girly-girl likes better than a purse befitting her feminine feelings. Enter this hand made petal purse from Sweetie Pies; if you can look at that patchwork flower and not smile, then you are dead on the inside. Besides, how often can you make her feel like a lucky little princess without the use of glitter and/or pink feathers? And for just $12? I rest my case.
