anyone have this diaper bag?

I have a gift card to Coach and am debating between the Alex stitched patent leather baby bag or the Baby Bag Patent Tote. Just looking for additional reviews if you have either one (or coach diaper bags in general). Thanks for any input!

I don't know the specific ones you are talking about, but I did buy a Coach diaper bag a few weeks ago and I can't wait to use it! It was funny because when I went into the store and asked where their diaper bags were the lady was like "We don't carry diaper bags." I explained what I was talking about and she told me that those were called their "multipurpose bags". Ummmm ok.....it comes with a changing pad and I'm asking for it so I'm pretty sure that's what I'm looking for. I left a happy girl and am excited to have one!

I love Coach bags in general and I have had good luck with the one time I have had to take a bag in when the zipper stopped working. They didn't ask any questions just told me to pick out a new bag equal to the original full price.

I don't have either. I love, love, love Coach and have several purses. I was really wanting to get a Coach diaper bag before #1, but decided against it. (I wound up getting a rather straight-forward patterned Vera Bradley instead, as I'm not normally a fan of the wilder patterns.) I'm now really glad that I didn't get a Coach one. For the money, there wasn't as much room and milk and goldfish get crushed everywhere! ;-)

As I mentioned, I went with a different one and treated myself to another purse later on. ;-) Good luck with you decision -- just wanted to offer another perspective.

I do! I do! I have the patent tote in berry. I wish I would have got the grey though. I love, love, love it. One, the adjustable cross body strap is awesome. It adjust high enough for me to wear and it not hang to my knees (I'm 4'8"). It's not overly huge. The top close zipper comes apart on both ends (like a jacket, not like a purse) which is great when you are trying to stuff something lager in there. The inside is wipe-able but doesn't look like plastic. The smaller straps can fit on your shoulder if you want to wear it under your arm.

Cons: I wish it had a few more pockets on the inside. Mostly for my stuff like lip gloss and such. And I am using glass bottles and while I was playing around with it the glass wasn't easy to slip into the side pockets with the patent.

I had a $100 off coupon when I bought it and I feel like the money was well spent. I am using it now with the other 2 kiddos (4 and 2).

Thank you ladies for your input! I've always been a Coach fan and really wanted one with my DD, but ended up with a Petunia Pickle Bottom. This time DH got me a gift card to get one, and I'm so excited, but my nearest store doesn't carry any of them (or the "multipurpose").

The gray patent tote is the one I'm thinking of, but the other is so beautiful too--only it is white which scares me. Decisions, decisions! Thanks again!

I had to order mine without seeing it . But it came really fast and I could return it to the store if I wanted. I'm sure you'll love it.

P.S. They are having 20% right now If you don't have the coupon just tell them you left it at home and they will still give it to you. My 100 dollar off expired the day before I went to the store and they still honored it. Score.

Thanks! Yes, I got the coupon too! That's why I'm trying to figure out which one while my coupon is still good. I do like that I could return it to the store.

I use a coach diaper bag... I also got a smaller bag from BRU as the coach doesn't fit in my strollers (BOB) storage basket. I rarely use it unless we are going out all day, but its kinda big to lug esp. if its full. Just my opinion!
