10 Stylish & Spacious Carry-All Bags That Double Up As Diaper Bags
When is a diaper bag not just a diaper bag? When it’s one of these chic, spacious carry-all bags that come in interesting shapes, textures and prints.
By Aaron Kok -
Let’s get real about something: we all know that buying a diaper bag often feels more like an obligation than something you look forward to.
The designs aren’t always the prettiest (and we know you love a pretty bag) and while they're functional for new parents and their myriad of needs, there isn’t much longevity once your kiddo outgrows the diaper and bottle-feeding. Cue up the Carousell post to list your diaper bag on the resale market.
It’s not all bad though – because there are plenty of sac options for new mums out there to consider. Just as spacious and practical, these stylish carry-all bags trump the regular diaper bag in two other aspects: aesthetics and versatility once the kids have grown up.
Whether it’s a printed shoulder bag, a sturdy shopper tote or even a bag that’s perfect for the upcoming Chinese New Year, these are some of our fave carry-all bags that combine form and function.
Maybe you’re not traveling in the foreseeable years until your kiddy is a little older, but this doesn’t mean we can’t love the idea of Longchamp’s iconic Le Pliage bag as a stand-in diaper bag. You probably already know its durability and roominess, but it’s going to serve you well on the next grocery run with your baby as it would on your future family holiday.
