I’ve used a couple of my Chanel bags as purse/diaper bags…the Cambon Travel Tote and the Square Vintage Tote. I actually have a couple Coach diaper bags that daddy can use without it looking too girlie.

I use the Mulberry Poppy as my diaper bag and its perfect! I definitely reccomend it – roomy, nice side pockets for discreet diaper, etc. storage. Plus, you can expand it and make it larger if need be. Only drawback? It can be a tad heavy (but thats not the bag’s fault, it’s mine for filling it w/so much stuff!).

Yay Thanks Megs, this has been a major dilemma since I had my baby a couple months ago. I love the Foley and Corinna.

HERE IS THE DEAL…..

If a woman is willing to get fat, I mean really fat to carry a baby for 9 freaking months, only to follow-up that terrific marathon by stretching her lady parts to the point that a human can come screaming out of her, deal with the horrific stretch marks and psycho-trauma of breast feeding……SHE AT LEAST DESERVES A NICE FREAKING BABY BAG!!!!! To be frank, she deserves one that walks on it’s own so that she doesn’t have to carry around awhole bunch of diapers and gross drippy bottles!!!! GET THOSE BAGS BITCHES, and dont FEEL ANY GUILT!!!!!!

<3 your home girl!!!

I don’t think that the Miu Miu is big enough to use as a diaper bag although it is gorgeous! I think a line called Storksak makes non-obvious and chic diaper bags. The line is pretty reasonably priced too, under $500!

I would never use a $1K bag as a diaper bag. Ugh. No offense. Especially beautiful bags from Prada and Miu Miu. Marc Jacobs seems doable, since the price isn’t too much. But I have to disagree about using a Prada/Miu Miu for hauling icky baby stuff in there. I would go for a Coach diaper bag since it comes with a changing mat. And that’s seems to be the only bag I wouldn’t mind getting dirty.

What I discovered from my friend who just had a baby is getting a *proper* diaper bag – instead of just a big tote – is really helpful, because the size is appropriate for bottles and diapers, most come with changing pads and are wipe-clean.

I got her a MBMJ black leather diaper bag that came with a cute logo’d changing pad and several fabulous bottle-sized pockets. The leather is wipe-clean and even her hubby likes using it as it isn’t too girlie-looking. I got that at Nordstrom for about $350, but if you search Neiman Marcus Online for ‘diaper bag’ they feature diaper bags by Chloe, Gucci, Prada and Burberry, all with changing pads and lots of pockets. The Gucci is nice at $975:
