Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag question

elm306

I'm on the hunt for a new diaper bag - my $30 bag from Target is completely worn out...but it lasted 16 months of heavy use, so I can't complain!   

I started looking at Petunia Pickle Bottom bags...there are a few bags exclusively sold at potterybarn kids...and I love the Relaxing in Rome style bag.  It's the backpack/messenger style bag with the changing pad built into the front (also removable).  It seems like a great bag. 

 Questions - is it worth the money?  If you know this particular style - is the "relaxing in rome" a black or dark brown?  I can't tell from the website and I couldn't find any additional information on the color. 

It's a lot of money for a diaper bag but it's the only thing I carry all the time.  so I want to buy a really good quality bag and have it for the years/babies to come.

I'm not sure of the one you're speaking of but I have the PPB glazed bags which are easier to clean and keep clean.  i love mine! I've had it since DD was born and it's still like new. I used it everyday too! When DD was a baby I used to think it was too small but now that DD is a Toddler and doesn't need as much, it's perfect!

it looks like the boxy backpack I think? I have one & ditto pp, the glazed fabric is great.  I really like mine & use it for twins... if it is like the BB, then teh velcro on front is a bit loud & bugs some ppl but I've never had an issue w/ it. 

the one you're looking at looks like black to me.

I have a PPB Scout. Its really nice but I have rarely used it. Im not sure if its b/c Im a SAHM or that I didnt like carrying a diaper bag plus a purse.

But if you actually use a diaper bag a lot then I say go for the PPB since  they are great quality.

Thanks for the help.  It's the glazed finish that a few people mentioned...seems like a great quality and easy to clean.  interesting comment about the velcro being loud...that's annoying! 

I always use my diaper bag...I have a very small purse that I can throw in any diaper bag.  So I never have to carry two bags. 

The nearest potterybarn kids is about 45 minutes away...so I'd rather order online, but I was nervous about the color.  I definitely want a black bag. 

Thanks again!

Just an FYI Target is also carrying a line of Petunia Pickle Bottom you can find it online.
