The New Wave Of Baby Change Bags
Sunday, 12. July 2009
One of the biggest maternity style trends has been the adoption of cool baby changing bags by expectant moms and new moms. Gone are the days when moms would throw baby items into whatever bag they had close by.
These new styles of baby changing bags hold their own in the fashion stakes yet are robust and large enough to be a practical option. When you are choosing a baby change bag you need to bear in mind that this is an investment buy which should not only see you through your baby’s early days but still be around for any later additions to the family. But when you’ve finished using your bag to carry baby items, the best baby changing bag will convert effortlessly into all purpose designer bag.
When you’re choosing your change bag there are several key points you need to follow:
Fabric – you are no longer restricted to “wipe-clean vinyl” – the new wave of baby change bags include bold prints and tactile fabric. Leather is the hottest trend at the moment and a leather baby change bag will not only turn heads but age well and endure the rough and tumble of the early days.
Accessories – the new style of bags include many accessories to make life easy for the new mommy, but which can be removed when the time for fashion bag conversion is here! Co-ordinating travel wipe holders, changing mats and insulated holders for liquids or food are handy accessories you cannot afford to be without.
One brand which has cornered the market in style and practicality is OI OI. OIOI first hit the scene with their unique Hobo baby changing bag which has become a classic style in its own right. Completing the range this season are messenger bags (which make a perfect bag for Dads) and the robust carry-all. OIOI make careful selection of fabrics including wool, patent leather and microfibre. The standout statement piece this season though has to be the gorgeous chestnut leather Hobo.This is a beautiful baby change bag in snakeskin printed leather with chunky metal hardware and an adjustable shoulder strap. Effortlessly stylish it combines the best in practical styling but its cool features mean it is a perfect baby change bag for fashion conscious mommies.
