New stylish changing bag needed (well wanted)...

10 replies

Mrsdp123 · 02/12/2011 18:49

I have several changing bags from DS1 but am hankering after a new one. I have 2 OiOi Hobo ones and a similar shaped one from Ollie and Nic.
I am a fan of Orla Kiely bags in general (owning um about 10) in oilcloth or leather but their changing bags don't have a zip across the top and as the nappy bag is usually on the pushchair surely things will just get wet!
I quite like the look of the Storksak Kate in Chalk and the Pacapod things but I need something roomy. I struggle to get nappies/wipes/change of clothes etc in the bags let alone my purse/phone/keys etc.
Any good recommendations (I don't like those cup cake ones - Yummy Mummy)? Ta.

I got one from Sophia and Matt

They started out as a stall in Greenwich market and have just opened a shop and you can order online. Some really nice designs plus a good sized bag to fill with all your baby stuff, pockets inside and a changing mat in the same design as the bag. And a zip across the top! Have found their service lovely.

Thought I could always use mine as a weekend bag afterwards too.

I have a Longchamp le pliage , and one of these, jobs a good'un.

With DC1 I had a Cath Kidston one and the fecker broke.

I have a lin and leo which has been worth every penny.

I like the fact it has lots of compartments, and pockets. The leather ages really well and I much prefer it now its a little more worn.

i never used a change bag as I've never owned a pram, and used my rucksack or longchamps pliage but I am selling a Bill Amberg leather one, which is lovely. Was eyewateringly expensive originally.

What about the Audrey leather changing bag from Mamas and Papas? I'm fancying that at the mo and we seem to have similar tastes.

Oh my! Have just found Sugarjack on the John Lewis website....

I have a purple leather Storkbag Emily and I love it. My children are nearly 2 and 4 so I've started using it also as my work bag and in-flight cabin bag when I'm travelling without children. I can fit in a few books, my laptop, my makeup pouch, a light shawl and the pockets are brilliant for my iPhone, wallet, keys etc. And I love the bottle pockets - I keep a steel Muji water bottle and a steel tea thermos there.

DonaAna, that is indeed a beautiful bag!

I have the JJ Cole mode tote bag in grey flora. It's got lots of pockets inside and out, seems durable (I've been using mine for about 21mo) and is wipe-clean. More designs here. Possibly more functional than stylish, but I like mine!

Thanks for the links. I already have a couple of Longchamp bags but the bottles would just rattle around in them (and leak, i'm rubbish at putting the little disks in them). I definitely need something with compartments as I do overfill things and can't find them. I didnt know Sophia and Matt were now online I live near Greenwich and have one of their bags too!
I had a look at a new Storksak bag at the weekend but it was only a shoulder bag and doesn't sling across your body which isn't much use when your hands are full with a baby and a toddler...
