I got one made when I was pregnant the first time at www.1154lill.com. They have SUPER cute fabrics to choose from. A little pricey, but great quality, and well worth the money in my opinion as you will use it almost everyday (or at least I will).

I have gone through many of them.
My first was a Vera Bradley baby bag- which i liked, but i overstuffed it too much and the one strap would always fall off my shoulder- so drove me nutty.
then i got a VB knock off at Home Goods for $30 that was HUGE and loved it for the summer- taking extra things with us to the pool, etc. it was also plastic lined- very nice.
that fall I got a $20 bag that was really cute at Walmart- a skip hop knock off that i really loved. It got pretty beat up - used it until may, when my DH got me the bag of my dreams for mother's day...
www.pinningtonbags.com - got it 1/2 price at a sample sale - it's perfect! One large strap (does not fall off my shoulder), is huge, plastic lined, has many pockets inside, closes on the top so i don't have to worry about my wallet falling out, etc. I used it all summer and winter.
I got a Mothership from babybargains.com to use in the spring.
I like to change my bags with the season, like I used to do with purses :0)
We're actually getting a TimBuk2 Tote bag and will purchase a portable changing pad to fold into it. It is more practical for our needs and is super durable.
Did y'all get seperate diaper bags for you and for DH? ?He was thinking about a generic backpack and I want something pretty. ?Think it's impractical or a good think to have two??
My DH had a skip hop bag for our DD and I found myself using it more than he did as it was really practical. My DH goes out alone with DD a lot so it was worth him having his own as mine was very feminine.
DH is just going to use his backpack from university. It has some handy pockets on the outside for bottles and all kinds of compartment and such... I think it'll work great!
I had 2 Coach bags when DS was a baby. They were not very practical so we switched to a North Face backpack which worked out GREAT (so many compartments for storage). For x-mas DH got me a Babymel which I love and I just ordered a PPB clutch from the sale yesterday. I am a bag junkie

Re: What diaper bag have/will you buy?
I'm going to re-use the one I had with my son.
I like this one...
