The choices are indeed amazing now. Top brands include OiOi , Fleurville , Kalencom , Skip Hop, Mia Bossi, and JP Lizzy among others. Designer fabrics such as custom prints, full-grain leather, and buckles just like a Kooba purse are standard on a lot of designer bags.
Take for example, a very high end product such as a Mia Bossi Diaper Bag. Just check out this list of bag features from their website. We’re talking about a machine washable changing pad, zip-in and zip-out inside lining with an additional insert for computer or briefcase even available! Hello, this is seriously an ‘I mean business’ kind of bag! But there’s more. A cell phone holder, a keychain holder (so you aren’t fumbling for your keys in the bottom of the bag. And believe me, sometimes you’re NOT putting the keys in your purse, but rather they end up time after time in the diaper bag! ) A baby wipe holder, private zippered pocket for personal belongings, and straps that are adjustable and detachable to strap around a stroller. Whew.
These are good looking items. I guarantee you will get multiple compliments about your bag should you be able to pick up a good looking bag from designers such as these. Who knew? But you certainly don’t have to spend a bucketload just to get the style you want with the function and practicality that you need. Some bags can go for $150 – $500. But you can absolutely get an amazing bag for 65 bucks as well.
The Kalencom line has some great colors like Baby Blue and Avocado. It’s got adjustable shoulder straps, outside pockets, insulated bottle bags, a big padded changing pad that folds out easily, and has a super handy magnetic strap to close the top. Always a welcome addition when you’re hands are plenty full with baby activities! This line of bags is really nicely priced between $50 to $75.
The OiOi line is in between these price ranges of the bags already discussed. It’s become a very hot item in the mom community as well. These range from $110 to $250. They come with some great looking patterns and styles. Being from Australia, these bags have a little difference influence and it shows in the dynamic color choices. Big bold prints help give this brand a distinct look. If you are a mom or parent with a little more flair and want to be bold, these bags may be for you. They offer many of the same features as the truly high end bags, but without the sky high prices.
So whether your incliniations lean more toward conservative tones and practical hues, or bold colors with dramatic design and eye-catching looks, there is a bag that has your name on it!
