20 Best Designer Diaper Bags to Add to Your Wishlist
Can something as utilitarian as a diaper bag actually be—dare we say it—stylish? If you’re looking for a practical carryall that lugs your baby essentials but disguises itself as an It bag, the answer is a designer diaper bag. Name-brand diaper bags may not be cheap (though many are more affordable than you might imagine), but they’re an investment—and one that may actually pay for itself when you consider how much daily use you’ll get out of it. Designer diaper bags offer all the same great features as a regular baby bag (think: changing pads, bottle holders and plenty of pockets) hidden inside a chic exterior. Plus, high-end bags are typically built to last, featuring quality craftsmanship and luxe materials. And don’t forget designer items tend to hold their value, so when you no longer need it, you can recoup some of the cost by reselling your diaper bag on sites like Good Buy Gear or eBay.
Ready to find the baby bag of your dreams? We’ve rounded up some of the best designer diaper bags out there, from backpacks to totes and everything in between. Plus, we’ve also included some helpful tips on how to find a killer bag for less—score!
The best designer diaper bags make a fashion statement without sacrificing practical features, such as changing mats, bottle insulators and roomy compartments. Whether you’re looking for luxury bags for dads or trendy tote bags for moms, here you’ll find the perfect style to fit your needs.
