Who says you have to give up your purse fetish just because your tote of choice these days is a diaper bag? Â Just as maternity clothes have evolved from the dumpy, fluffy caftans of yesteryear, so too has the diaper bag evolved in to a fashion accessory of stylish moms everywhere.
Consider the go-to designs of Kate Spade. Â Chic, classic, timeless. Â Her Denise Diaper Bag, available for $395 at Amazon.com is totally hip and has the Hobo Bag trend nailed to perfection.
If you are a plaid fan, Burberry, has some lovely bags, including this messenger style, as well as a more traditional tote, both available at us.burberry.com with prices starting around $700.
My two personal favorites are the understated Prada diaper bag, yours for a mere $1100 at Neimanmarcus.com
and this awesome Hansel Diaper Bag, by the aptly named company Not Rational, available at celebritybabygear.com. Â It reminds me of my much loved Rebecca Minkoff Stud Devote bag, which is currently full of tons of stuff, but not a single baby related product!
With any one of these fabulous diaper bags you can keep your chic and feel glamorous, which is probably a good thing since you likely won’t be able to afford a babysitter or even another handbag for awhile.
I always considered getting a really nice diaper bag but then I look at the one I have……crumbs, milk stains and leaky desitin tubes and decide to stick with my durable yet cheap one.
