For Christmas DH is going to buy me a new diaper bag. The one I have now is getting in pretty bad shape. I'd love any recs on diaper bags you guys love. TIA!!!

I have a Vineyard Vines large tote - not a diaper bag. I really love it. Lots of pockets for small items but also a very large open area. I never actually used the diaper bag that I was given.
I love the Fleurville because it's roomy, has tons of pockets, and is comfortable to carry, but it does get pretty wide when it's filled and Dr Brown's bottles don't fit into the side zip bottle pocket, which is irritating. I'm thinking I'll end up using this a lot more when there's two LOs to carry a diaper bag for! I will say that their customer service is outstanding - my clasp broke and when I called, I spoke w/a real person who then emailed me a follow-up and they were very prompt at sending out the part I needed to fix the bag. I'm also in love with the bag's pattern.
I often end up grabbing DH's Skip Hop more frequently, because it's a much less bulky bag when filled. The outside bottle pocket is drawstring-style, which is nice for holding all sizes/shapes of bottles, and it has enough pockets that things can be organized pretty well. The issue I have with it is that it can be tough to get things in/out because it's a narrower bag, so it's hard to yank out a diaper or blanket or something w/o pulling out EVERYTHING that's in that section of the bag.
I'm convinced I'd find issues w/every diaper bag, though... and the issues I have with our two are so minimal that it's not really worth searching for another one.
I actually don't like Vera Bradley, so that should show that it is good. I like the space and that it can stretch/expand a little. It has a zipper at top. I'd buy it again. I had one I got from BRU that I wanted because I thought DH would be able to carry it too. A black satchel style. The bag seemed big (it felt big) but had little space inside.
All that being said, I only use our big diaper bag when we go on whole day trips - often flying to Indiana. For everyday, I use an Enfamil one I got for free at the hospital that is big enough for a few diapers, a change of clothes, a receiving blanket, and a burp cloth.
Re: Diaper Bag Recs?
It's not fancy but it's working really well for us: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Jeep-Clamshell-Diaper-Bag/9870627
Jeep Clamshell Diaper Bag.
I have the Vera Bradley Baby bag and I love it.
This one is a little different than mine - looks like they updated it.

Happy Birthday, little man. We love you so much!

I have a Fleurville MS3 in black bouquet and a Skip Hop Duo Deluxe in black. Technically, the Fleurville is mine, the Skip Hop is DH's... but we use them interchangeably.
I love the Fleurville because it's roomy, has tons of pockets, and is comfortable to carry, but it does get pretty wide when it's filled and Dr Brown's bottles don't fit into the side zip bottle pocket, which is irritating.

I have this Vera Bradley one and really like it: https://www.verabradley.com/product/Category/Mom-and-Baby/Baby-Bag/154882/defaultColor/Make+Me+Blush/pc/638/c/0/sc/643/p/154882.uts
