From Handbags to Chic Designer Diaper Bags

Share This



Handbags turned Chic Designer Diaper Bags

Petunia Pickle Bottom, OiOi, Timi and Leslie and the list goes on for brands that are devoted to the diaper bags market. However, most diaper bags, no matter the designer, tend to dull me really quick; with the usual solid colors and boring abstract prints. Moms we have to lug around the diaper bags all day, and they should be fashionable and affordable enough, that we can interchange bags every now and then. Not to worry, I made it my mission to peruse stores to find chic regular handbags that could easily be substituted for your diapering needs.

Pocket-Friendly Crossover Designer Diaper Bags

My 23 month-old is constantly running, jumping, and climbing into things. Like most kids, he reminds of the energizer bunny…..he keeps going and going and going. Nonetheless, he is not a big fan of transitions. For example, he is the type of kid when told “It’s time to leave the park,” throws himself to the ground and cries bloody murder…………..these everyday moments are so precious; Not! So, I do as I always do. Strap on my diaper bag, pick him up and carry him to the car for a quick exit. So what is my ideal diaper bag of choice when fleeing a scene? The crossover bag! What is there not to love about a handbag that you can just strap on cross-body, and has a removable strap to give you the option to wear as a tote. Moms who have to be hands-free at all times and require large pockets to carry bottles or sippy cups, I’ve got just the perfect crossover bags and a backpack for you. Check them out!

Totes as Diaper Bags

Trend-Setting Totes
Not all moms require a ton of pockets for organization or care for wearing a handbag cross-body. So, what better handbag will suit you is none other than the basic tote. Every now and then I will use a tote as a diaper bag, only for quick errands of course, or just a beach day where a tote seems ideal for the location. Spring/Summer 2012 clothing and accessories are trending color blocking and neon colors. So, it was only inevitable that I would include some trend-setting totes for the upcoming season. Take a look at some of my potential diaper bags!

 



 

Organization 101: The Diaper Clutch
No matter your handbag of choice for diapering…….. the crossover bag, tote, or even a hobo. My best advice is stay organized with a diaper clutch. You don’t have to run out and buy an actual diaper clutch, for there are regular fashionable clutches large enough that you can purchase to store items for your diapering needs as well. However, I can promise that this strategy will make it an easier transition for using regular handbags for diapering versus the regular diaper bag.
