Designer Handbags

Seems like many women on the Purse Forum and many women I know are pregnant right now or have a brand new little bundle of joy already (congrats LucciBag on her new mini!!)! The perfect diaper bag is a must have and there is a way to look fashionable and still be practical. The Bumble Bags do just that, implement chic momma style with practical pockets, easy cleaning, changing pad, and every other add on that is a necessity for a baby. The feminine pink paisley print on the Bumble Bags Kimberly Diaper Bag enchants the eye while the practical stain resistance, water resistant lining, zipper pockets, bottle pockets, and changing pad, add everything imaginable for your tot. When traveling with your baby, you need a bag that accommodates all needs, but also appeals the eye. Measurements are 17.5″L x 13″H x 6 “W. For a little girl, I love the pink paisley, but there are numerous other options. $128 via Diaper Bags.

It has been a while since I have paid homage to the momma’s with babies out there. It is kinda funny, because you would think I pay more attention to it all- seeing that I am a part time nanny of sorts. I watch the most adorable little girl who has a baby brother or sister on the way. Ask me about all the latest DVD’s, toys, and craze for the life of a 2 year old, I know it. Right now I am starting to think of a baby bag for the expecting mom. For a late spring/early summer baby, a bag adorned with flowers is practical and fun just like the Petunia Pickle Bottom Dogwood Blossom Bag. All that is packed into this bag is what is truly important for a mom with baby on hip, but the color arrangement is beautiful, including a brown/teal/raspberry/tan floral brocade. The slue of add-ons include a shoulder strap with a cell phone holder, a key clip, front and side pockets, a detachable stinky diaper pouch (we know how bad the smell gets), water-resistant liner making it easy to clean, four bottle pockets, a wipe case, a changing station, and ample room at 14″H x 15″W x 4 1/2″D. The price is right ($175 through Neiman Marcus), and in my opinion the bag has all a mom could want. What do you mother’s think?

Just because you are running on 1 hour of sleep, look disheveled, and just want to collapse, being a mommie is a great thing. For bag loving women, being a mommie means needing a great diaper bag. The Timi & Leslie Hardware Mommy Bag is designed from durable leather and lined in waterproof metallic bronze which helps baby proof the bag. Inside there is also a changing pad and a matching Chinese brocade wristlet. On the outside you will find enough storage room with two front and back open pockets and side pockets. While some baby bags scream out ‘this is yet another baby bag’ this black bag is a little more edgy with gold hardware and a hanging gold heart charm dangling from the front. The bag closes with a magnetic snap and measures 16″ x 13″. Buy it for yourself or a mommie to be for $400 via Shop Intuition.

So little Miss Fiore has not been my favorite lately. Some of her designs are cheaply appalling. But then I stumbled across this Isabella Fiore “Bubbles” Large Baby Bag and realized that I really really liked it. Just plain and simple, I like the bag. It’s a cute summer diaper bag that can show off a fun-side from the average black baby diaper bag. I know when I have kids, I will be sure to have different bags to tote around like a diaper is a fashion statement. Hey, it is! So for you mommies who want to prove to the world how much fun you can still have when being a new mom, I really suggest this bag. The bag measures 16.5″W x 10″H x 6″D and can be purchased through Adasa for $310.

All I keep hearing about is women who are expecting. I bet this is actually some of you ladies, right? It must be spring. Yes, let’s blame it on spring. Either way, finding a diaper bag must be a pain. I know there are beautiful designer bags, but I have noticed that many of them are made of cotton, which is probably a really bad idea when you think of it. Think of spit up, dirty diapers, baby food being slung, and all of that other beautifully clean “stuff” babies do. Don’t get me wrong, I love babies!! But I know they always find a way to make a mess, and I, being the Purse and Handbag Connoisseur, don’t want to let you mommies have your precious bags be negatively affected!

With that being said I ran across this Crystalyn Kae Bossa Nova Baby Bag and that ding-ding-ding, light bulb flashing sort of deal went off in my head. Not only is this baby bag not the typical box shape, it is also washable!! Score! For this one I am going to let the website do all the talking because I don’t want to leave any important information out:

“The striking contrast of metal hardware and draped sashes, punctuate these buttery-soft glazed handbags. Delicately ribbed grosgrain showcases front flap details and lining. The draped strap is cinched into metal rings and attaches with silver snaps to allow for you to wear it long across your chest, or shorten the strap to 18″ or 24″ to tuck under your arm. Inside, 3 elasticized pockets, large enough to accommodate bottles, plus cell phone pocket, PDA / Mp3 player pocket, and inner zip pocket keep everything in place. Zipper closure with snap flap. 15″ tall, 18″wide, 3.5″ deep, 34″ strap - (snaps to adjust to 18″ or 24″). Hand wash in cold water, hang dry.”

So women, let me know what you think! I think this is one of the most practical and stylish baby bags ever. If this bag does it for you, click your way to Virgin Threads and buy it for $145.

To you new and expecting mommies, I didn’t forget about you! Diaper bags become the acccessory you end up carrying when you have a newborn. The DKNY Baby Bag Tote combines style and simplicity to provide you with a new mommie neccessity. The bag comes with a removable changing pad, bottle wrap, and removable pocket, and is consumed by colorful lining and soft leather trim. Other features include the leather tie closure and inside zip pocket for your valuables. The bag finishes off with double leather shoulder straps with 11″ drop. There is no reason not to love this bag for a mere $185 of gorgeous practicality. Available through Eluxury.

What more could an expecting mommie want than a totally personal and adorable diaper bag? Look no further. The Shih “Jet Set” Charm Diaper Bag is not only practical but personal and fun. The bag can hold up to 11 charms which can be used to spell out the new baby’s name.

Want to buy it as a baby shower gift? Here’s an idea: put “BABY” on the bag and then get a gift certificate so that when Baby gets a name, Mom can order the charms to spell out the baby’s name! The bag is made of PVC so those messy spills will clean up easily. This hip bag comes with a baby bottle warmer, detachable shoulder strap, and changing pad. Dimensions: 14″ x 12″ x 5 1/2″. For merely $149 you can make the expecting mommie to be the trendiest mom at the playground!

Not sure how many blokes will be all over this bag, but I sure know many sheilas who are gonna love getting their men one of these Diaper Dude Camo Diaper Bags. There is no more excuses for the gentlemen to talk their way out of diaper duty.

It seems celebrities these days are having babies left and right and of course you know these super star parents would never carry just any diaper bag. Their bags are as diverse as their babies names which means they are totally original and one of a kind.
