My Top 5 Fancy Diaper Bags

My Top 5 Fancy Diaper Bags




When I was pregnant with my son, there was one thing I wanted for myself on his baby registry... a fabulous diaper bag. I wanted one that resembled more of a bag that I would tote around with a chic ensemble. One that matched my personality and style. I ended up with a beige bag with Winnie the Pooh on it. Classy and tasteful right?
I thought to myself, oh well. It's just a bag that's holding diaper rash ointment and an aspirator to suck the gunk out of my baby's nose, right? No biggie. Then came baby number two, three years later. And, before I could create a registry for a little girl, a bright blue and brown bag was gifted to me. It's still not what I had in mind, but at least it was sans Pooh. Am I wrong for wanting a nice bag? Is it selfish to want a bag that will not only hold my baby's things but will also replace my everyday bag? So now, here we are at baby number three. I'm ready to shake out the old crumbs from my current diaper bag, give Lilly her own little backpack, and keep it moving.

I was prepared to take on this new baby without a baby shower. I mean, what do I need one for? I just had a little girl, why would I need more stuff? But, I do want a  themed party. Shoot me! I love themed parties. It's a tea party. I made the decision that it will be a "diaper party". I'm not asking for any special gifts for the new baby except for diapers and wipes. This was a wonderful idea. We would get a large supply of the items that would cost the most over the next two years. But, as it turns out, I have a few friends that want to go above and beyond the call of duty. They wanted to know what it is that I could possibly be missing for my baby.

Specifically my bestie/newly minted god-mother of the new baby, wants to give a gift that I really want. I told her the only thing I wanted was a cute diaper bag. She went on to ask me what designer bag do I want. I told her it doesn't need to be designer. (I'm bougie, but I don't consider myself THAT bougie) I care not of labels and brands. She shrugged it off and said, "Okay." A few days later, while updating my baby registry (that I was forced to make) I looked at the diaper bags on my list and sighed with dissatisfaction. I called my friend to see if the offer is still standing for a fancy diaper bag. She said sure. She gave me a price limit to stay within and told me to choose three so that whatever I open will still be a surprise...I love her!

So, enter me on the hunt for a fancy bag. Wish me luck! What's the first thing I do? Google it of course!!! What are the fanciest diaper bags on the market? Money's no object! $1,000 Gucci baby bag!!! I take it back, money is an object, you're nuts to think that I'd let a friend pay that much on a bag that will be toting around a sippy cup! But I did find a few tasty options that I will be sending to my bestie for her approval:
