Need suggestions for a mommy bag.

Hi ladies,

I have been looking these few days for a crossbody bag that I would carry everyday. I have 2 boys: 8 years and my other son just turned 2 years old and I've been carrying a diaper bag, but now want to sort of down size. I want the bag to be fashionable and would like it to have pockets on out side to put my phone,sanitizer and also fit a few diapers, wipes case, wallet, my youngest drink cup. I have seen the fossil bags, but they look like they would be long on me, I'm 5ft.

Any help and suggestions would be Greatly appreciated...Thank you all so much!!!!!

I highly recommend the brand Kipling!On you tube you can watch videos of many styles packed for use as diaper bag,toddler bag,etc. These might be good. ...Defea,Sady,Kyler,and Sherpa. I own the Defea and the Sherpa. I love them both so much. I have many Kipling badge and the quality is superb and they are so lightweight. They come in colors and patterns,are easy to keep clean,and have very adjustable straps. The d Defea is one I always use for travel. It's a perfect crossbody that holds everything i need and then some. I got all mine at Amazon and Ebay. You tube has the best ideas on packing these bags and the show them on a real person.

@LittleT Just came back from the Nordstrom sale and saw several really cute ones there. You might check them out online. You can search "baby bag." Sale through tomorrow.

For a casual look, I always recommend Vera Bradley for their ultimate organization and fun patterns....for a more sophisticated feel, MZ Wallace bags are amazing!! I would suggest taking a look at your local TJMaxx...they offer alot of great handbags in all price ranges

You don't mention your price range. Kate Spade has great bags (I own 5 or 6 of them) and only one is not a crossbody. It sounds like you need a medium crossbody bag and you want something that will last. Like I said, Kate Spade and Coach and check out their sale items online or if you are near an outlet store. Good luck.

P.S. I was looking at OrYany bags and came across two that may work for you.

261744 is $109 and offers lots of color choices plus it is crossbody or hand held and then there is a254258 (the sane bag but less color choices(; however, free S&H and the priceis $129. Check it out. I don't know your taste but actually it's a nice looking bag rather fun.

Someone already mentioned Vera Bradley, so I would just like to add that if you're not into prints you can shop their microfiber line. The black microfiber is quite sophisticated looking.

Hey Little T! Or should I say Little Mommy? I know they're a bit pricey but I HIGHLY recommend any bag from the Aimee Kestenberg line here at QVC. She's a hot name in the industry and is known for making super-stylish bags in crazy- soft leather that are known for smart organization. She's got a great assortment of cross-bodies. I hope you're able to find the right bag for you whatever you decide!
