designer diaper bag?

Hi there,

Let me start by saying I know many of you would never spend this amount on a bag-I respect that. However, I want to so let me ask around :)

 

I am looking for a high end diaper bag that looks more like a purse so I can also use it for work right now. I don't like coach bags (all the c's), and have struggled to find a kate spade one I like. I also disliked the MarcJacobs too-thought the preppy tote looked like an overpriced beach bag :( I am looking to spend around $300, and would prefer a tote style. I have a Timi and Leslie which is ok, but I was hoping for a designer brand purse that has a baby line. I have been considering the StorkSak Elizabeth but would prefer a tote.

(Petunia and JuJuBe look like diaper bags to me) 

I would love to hear your recs!

  • OiOi.....pricey for a diaper bag, but people always have complimented me on my purse when I've carried them.

  • Burberry...so pretty! I love it
  • Coach had several bags that don't have C's, my Coach diaper bag doesn't have any. Just a very small logo by the handle. Just a thought if you're only deterrent was the C's.

    ETA: Oops, just noticed the budget! Well the Armani or Rebecca Minkoff are pretty close. More Armani under $300 here and here.

     

  • you mentioned kate spade already, but i happen to LOVE their stevie line. If there is an outlet near you they are much cheaper. I got mine for 150. 

    They have this one in all black and the small dots.

    if you dont mind paying retail the large dots are nice. the black is probably the least baby bag looking gl!

  • I hated my Kate Spade diaper bag (I forget the name of it, but I have heard good things about the Stevie), it looked great but I did not find it functional at all.  I love my Timi and Leslie Dawn.  I too wanted a designer bag (hence the Kate Spade I bought at first) but I have found that purse designers who happen to make a diaper bag or two are not nearly as functional as diaper bags made by designers who only make diaper bags.  But, with that being said, the other bags you have not listed that I considered before buying my Kate Spade were the Storksak Olivia or Kate.

  • Thanks everyone! I have some more research to do now :
  • I love the lines of the Elizabeth but didnt like that it didnt have outside pockets. I went with the Olivia from Storksak, though just ordered the Marc Jacobs preppy to compare. I prefer totes also, but like really clean lines.

  • Have you looked at MZ Wallace? I have the "Kate" bag and love it. I also have the Storksak Olivia and have been very happy with it. GL!

  • I have this Kate Spade.  You can read my GLOWING review on amazon; it is copied below as well:

    I am so in love with this bag. Why, you ask? Let me share:

    1)It fits everything easily.
    2)The bright red liner is lovely and makes it easy to find items in the bag.
    3)The diaper pad is indeed thick however I don't use it. Rather I use the Skip Hop Studio Pronto Changing Station, so that I can easily switch my travel diaper station from one bag to the next without worry of forgetting any important items. It fits this contraption easily while leaving ample room for all other necessities and nice to haves
    4)Just the right amount and size of internal pockets. And they are NOT padded which is great because they are in my skip hop bag which serves only to add unnecessary bulk and waste valuable space.
    5)Two external pockets are the perfect size to fit my large wallet, keys, sunglasses and small bottle of water. All while looking totally adorable.
    6)The hideaway hanging straps are perfect for attaching to strollers or shopping carts.

    Of course this is a ridiculous amount to spend on a diaper bag. However this bag functions as so much more as it is stylish, doesn't scream, "baby" and can be taken to any nicer establishment or event without feeling like "frumpy mom".

    What is funny is that my friend offered to buy me a Kate Spade diaper bag from the outlet but I refused saying that there is no way I'd spend that much on a diaper bag. Now I know - she was SO right about this! This is one splurge you won't regret!

    Ooops, sorry I missed the part about how you can't find a Kate Spade that you like.  Check ebags.com or zappos.com?

  • Ohhhh I am loving the mz Wallace kate never heard of the brand! It looks strikingly similar to the storksak Olivia to me is the material nylon?

    I didn't want a diaper bag, I wanted a big purse that I could use as a diaper bag.  My DH gifted me with a Longchamp hobo bag for Mothers Day.  I've been using it as a diaper bag for a few weeks (DD is just shy of 3 weeks) and I love it.  It's not too big - fits the diaper clutch, a blanket for DD, my wallet and makeup/necessities pouch.  I have a few other Longchamp bags and they're fantastic - they wear really well and last forever.  This is the one I have - https://tinyurl.com/nyzrtsz
