Finding a diaper bag that isn’t frumpy is a struuuuggle. The entire maternity sector leaves a lot to be desired, and I was deadset on not giving up a part of my identity when the baby arrived, and that meant finding items that are functional but also fashionable. My litmus test in buying anything I wear while I am pregnant and once I am a mom is that it has to be something I would have worn before becoming pregnant. Essentially, I have a really high bar.
Luckily, Freshly Picked came to the rescue with its fashion-forward line of vegan leather designs that are cute enough to wear even if you don’t have a newborn attached to your hip.
I opted for their Classic Diaper bag in Ebony for a number of reasons. First off, this bag has the richest looking vegan leather and super saturated color. It was very on brand with my existing wardrobe and purses, so it fits right in. The size and compartments of the bag make it possible to store ALL of the various products that come with providing for a tiny human. Seriously, this bag has ten different compartments, so you can stash diapers, wipes, teething toys, sunglasses, a changing mat, etc. and keep everything in its own place — a major must for moms on the go. One of the pockets has cold storage, perfect for bottles and snacks, and it also has a laptop sleeve to store your MacBook. It also wears super versatile, with straps that can make it a backpack, crossbody bag or purse.
One other reason I love vegan leather is that it has the look and feel of regular leather but isn’t as precious. I was very focused on finding a diaper bag that can get wet, because spills will inevitably happen, and be easily wiped down without damaging the materials. Both the inside and outside of this diaper bag can withstand spills and water.
The large size is ideal for me, but they also have a smaller version of it if you tend to travel light. It’s got a totally approachable price point at $175, BUT our readers can get 25% off of their purchase now by using code “FPXBELLA” at checkout!
If you’re looking for a different silhouette, we also love their City Pack. Each bag comes in a range of great colors, from creamy tans to millennial pink.
Lastly, we are obsessed with Freshly Picked’s signature baby moccasins, which we just ordered in camouflage for our baby boy. These mocks are seriously adorable and from what my girlfriends say, the newborn pairs last until the child is a year and a half old, so it’s pretty good value.
