I want a diaper bag that doubles as a designer purse - Storksak???

carichan · February 2010

I am not super cutesy girly and remember with my DS that a diaper bag ended up pretty much replacing my carrying a purse. With that said I'm leaning towards ones like Storksak sells, because from the outside they look like designer bags, but from the inside they have all the compartments, etc. you like in a diaper bag.

Anyone have any other suggestions of brands I could look at and where to find them? The cheapest Storksak bag I've found is $158, which is not bad since it's going to serve both the purse and diaper bag purpose.

TIA!

I am thinking the same...I like the kate spade coach and juicy bags though they can get pricey. I am holding off until i find a great deal...considering I wont be leaving the house with baby for a little while I am in no rush....but the right bag comes along and I will def buy it!

I LOVE Kate Spade - so I'm very biased. However, I would recommend going to a Kate Spade outlet if price is a concern - the outlets tend to have a bigger selection than the regular stores and you can get great deals. I used to buy her diaper bags and use them for work since they would fit my laptop - so i have quite a few already - I bought them anywhere from $99 - $350 - but I have seen them as low as $70 in the outlets. Plus a lot of her diaper bags are pretty classic styles so it would defintiely last for a while and they are very well made. I used to love traveling with mine -especially when flying because it was big enough to store lots of stuff, but would still make it under the seat.

I'm a designer purse whore...I love nice bags, but I always buy them on the cheap.

We are on a tight budget because with insurance/new job changes it's costing us $4450 more than expected to give birth to LO. So I've been trying to find something...anything that I actually like. I've looked at hundreds of diaper bags online...lol!

I came across timi & leslie bags last night and I've got in narrowed down to 2 bags, I just can't decide what bag I like best. They range from $125 - 400, but I've found a lot on clearance with some as low as $50.

Check out the custom made bags at 1154 Lill Studio. The Susan bag is the one I ordered. VERY well made and you can choose your own fabric. Plus, they look great for when baby grows up and you don't need a diaper bag. The website is:

DH bought me the Coach diaper bag for Christmas. He was able to find it at the Coach outlet and then got an additional 20% off so it wasn't super expensive.

I bought a Juicy Couture diaper bag on ebay - it was a factory second because it was missing half of the ribbon tie at the top of the bag - I sewed my own black ribbon on it and got it for a steal. They still have this one on their website and it retails for $298. Or if you stalk eBay you can probably find a good deal like I did!

I hate the Kate Spade bags for diaper bags. Not enough pockets and nothing fits right. But I love them for work bags.

I totally forgot how much I loved their bags.

Check out mamabargains.com and babysteals.com. I bought a couple bags from there for super cheap.

I got my Liz Lange Frankie bag at Luggage.com. They have a desinger diaper bag section that has really cute bags at discounted rates.

Vera Bradley has a black microfiber bag for $135 that is really nice as well... They also have the baby bag in all their beautiful patterns!!!

My hostesses got me the nest quilted black bag. It's really cute in person, everyone really liked it. Definitely looks like a purse but has good compartments.

Baby Mel isn't bad either for about $100.

I totally fell in love with the Tim & Leslie Aurelie II bag. It's close enough to looking like a real bag, cause I really don't want to be walking around with cartoon characters on what i'll be using as a purse. And they aren't too expensive.

Thanks so much for all your suggestions! I may have found a hook up through one of my friends. Her friend has a store in Alabama that somehow involves getting discontinued styles on designer bags, sunglasses, etc. for cheap - AND they have Storksak! She's supposed to email me some pics of the bags she has. If that doesn't work out - you guys have given me LOTS of great ideas and places to look!

Thanks again! What a relief to know I won't have to carry some vinyl ugly something or cutesy bag that doesn't fit my personality. You still have to be you when you're Mommy!
