bags for mothers - what do you look for?

[treacletart]

My colleague made a gorgeous bag for a friend from a ruined wooly jumper - (yes really!) Whilst browsing with the friend and said gorgeous bag in a Brighton Baby Boutique today she was asked to put together a range for the shop on a sale or return basis...so girls... what do you look for in the perfect trendy mum and baby bag?

sounds pretty exciting!
I wish you could get trendy changing bags that aren't HUGE. i only carry a couple of nappies and some wipes so don't need a gigantic bag. i really like this style of bag, the extra pockets are really good for a change of clothes for ds, also tissues, keys phone etc.
also would like one pocket which was lined with some kind of waterproof stuff to put dirty stuff in in emergencies

able to carry it over one shoulder but not have it banging on hip, so large but not long strap IYSWIM; wide top opening which can be completely shut (eg zip); waterproof section is a great idea; basically tardis like, ie will hold everything including kitchen sink yet look compact; small internal pocket for keys/change.

oh yeah, i like to carry it over one shoulder too. one with an adjustable length strap is good, straps are always too long for me, i'm short.

thanks for these, I'll pass them on
