Stylish changing bag

10 replies

Hello - can anyone recommend a stylish baby changing bag? Ideally leather and not necessarily a bag that markets itself as a changing bag? Want something stylish that doesn't scream 'mummy' or 'this bag contains nappies and baby powder' :) Willing to spend a little for something that will last and wear well...

I have a Storksak Emily in purple. Use it as a work bag and cabin luggage as well, I keep a water bottle or tea thermos in the insulated pockets. Il Tutto Stella and Mia look nice too.

I have an Il Tutto Mia in red. Bloody gorgeous and doesn't look like a changing bag. Also have a Storksak, think its called Elizabeth in a tan colour. Again, fab bag. I think they both cost about £250.

I have a Lin and Leo in Tan. Lots of internal pockets and compartments, and doesn't look like a changing bag at all. Was about £130 ish.

I got mine from here, it was fairly expensive but 4 years on it still looks like new and it means i don't need to move purse/lipstick etc etc over to a new bag when I go out on my own.

There are some gorgeous ones by Sugarjack (I think it's called). Sell them in John Lewis. Could easily pass for a work bag, once the nappy days are over.

Or go the other way, and buy a biggish bag that you love and just put a few changing things in it, because it's all you'll probably use. I use an ordinary cheap cosmetics bag for the changing stuff and move it between bags because I don't always want to take the same one with me. (And easier to persuade DH that he can take her out alone if he can easily grab the basics and put it in one of his own rucksacks!!)
Changing bags are a total rip off! All they are is a very ordinary looking square bag with a travel changing mat, which you can easily buy. And I've never seen one that looks as nice as an ordinary bag, either... The only thing I found with using an ordinary bag was that the strap wasn't long enough to go over the pushchair handle. Got round this by buying a couple of karabiners!!

bag clips

I can't find a link to the changing pod thing I got, but I just slip it into an ordinary bag.

Widens my choice right up :)

I love Lin and Leo too! Have a pink one which feels really quality and even though it came with a changing mat looks not much like a changing bag.

DH just bought me an Animal Bag for Christmas. It is nice and big and colourful and in no way looks like a nappy bag. I can fit a folding changing mat into it easily and all the rest of my junk.

I can't believe how much some of you spend on bags no matter how beautiful they are.

I love Lin & Leo too, for all the reasons mentioned. I also have the tan one and when it arrived, I was very excited! Well worth it imo.
