Whether you’re a new parent or a seasoned one, top-notch designer diaper bags are a lifesaver. Instead of overdoing (and potentially ruining) your favorite leather or suede bag, choose a bag made specifically for your baby, whether nylon, canvas, or high-tech waterproof fabric, that will easily hold all of your baby’s essentials and is incredibly practical.
No matter how big or small your bag is, when you go out you need to carry all sorts of things, and a bag with lots of pockets, storage compartments, and a diaper bag is a must. Add in diapers, wipes, pacifiers, extra clothes, teethers, toys, and bottles, and it becomes obvious that you’ll need a roomy bag or backpack to fit it all.
Some of our favorite designers have created specialty diaper bags that can hold all of the above and more. “When I became a mom, I chose waterproof bags to carry baby items and folded them into a tote that felt comfortable to me, rather than diapers,” explains Marissa Galante Frank, fashion director at Bloomingdale’s (and mom of two). For a more traditional look, she recommends coated canvas or neoprene bags. “[These] materials are great for diaper bags because they’re easy to wipe clean.”
We followed Galante Frank’s advice and favored easy-to-clean materials and many of our favorite designers when putting together our list of the 17 best designer diaper bags.
