My Best Friend Is a Bag – Leather Nappy Bag

By 1 Comment

Baby bags or nappy bags as many know them as have come a long way in the past few years; they no longer look like daggy old bags designed specifically for carting around nappies, wet wipes, bottles, spare clothes, snacks, etc. They now look like stylish handbags; yet they are still practical for the needs and requirements of a newborn or toddler.

My Best Friend Is a Bag has a gorgeous range of baby bags that double as handbag. When you are lucky enough to go out alone her name is Victoria and when you have your little ones in tow she is known as Harper. I love that regardless if you are using for yourself or for your baby it caters every need. It can hold all babies things with room for your essentials as well; all while looking fabulous and downright stylish. Oh did I mention they are top quality Napa leather? Which ultimately means it is easier to keep clean, it’s as simple as giving it a quick wipe down.

I love the range of colours available in this handbag / leather nappy bag; there is definitely something to suit everyone. I have been reviewing the giraffe animal print which is absolutely adorable but there are many others to choose from that I wouldn’t say no to owning either! The colour selection includes: Burnt Orange, Chocolate, Giraffe Animal print, Truffle or Watermelon Pink. It is very hard to pick a favourite colour.

 The Harper/Victoria Leather Bag  (leather nappy bag) would make a great gift for baby showers, Mother’s Day, birthday or even anniversary because it is so versatile. They retail for $295-$320 but they are all currently reduced to $160!! That’s half price for a great quality, practical and stylish handbag/baby bag.

So many gorgeous options and there is definitely something for everyone. Pop over and check out journie.com.au  you won’t be disappointed and with Mother’s Day coming up you can leave your hints laying around.

The designer of these gorgeous bags has put a lot of thought into the size, shapes, appearance and fabrics giving them all their own individual appeal. Each handbag appears to have its own story to tell when you look at them, they are unique and distinct without being over the top or weird. The current range/collections have their own style that suits both day and night and are perfect for the upcoming cooler months with natural and earthy tones.

I have had my Miami Chic Hobo bag for a week now and have more complements about it than I can count on both hands. The colours of this bag are natural, refreshing and yet funky and fun. What I love about this bag is the thickness of the fabric, the storage space and pockets. There is more than enough room to fit all my useless and never used crap essential items with plenty of room to spare and individual pockets for easy finding of the items you actually use. Journie does not comprise on quality and that is a hard thing to find these days.

For your chance to win your very own Miami Chic Hobo just follow the easy instructions on the rafflecopter.
