Tips for Finding a Stylish Diaper Bag

Becoming a mom doesn't mean that you have to banish all fashion sense. Yes, you can find a functional, yet stylish diaper bag (that doesn't have a Winnie the Pooh logo on it). And just because the diaper bag is stylish doesn't mean that it has to be expensive - a stylish diaper bag can be found for under $25 if you look in the right places.

Our first tip for finding a stylish diaper bag is to think outside of the box. Although typical baby supply stores such as Babies R Us carry some cute diaper bags, you are more apt to find a stylish diaper bag at any department store where you would buy a regular handbag.

When searching for your ideal bag, you'll find that many department stores are selling large bags and totes which would make perfect stylish diaper bags at a reasonable cost. We recently found a green, quilted Nine West bag on a clearance rack for $20. This bag has plenty of room for diapers, bottles, and other baby supplies, but looks great too, making it an ideal stylish diaper bag.

Vera Bradley also makes cute, spacious bags and backpacks which can double for stylish diaper bags. The Vera Bradley diaper bags can be a little more expensive than our bargain Nine West find, but with a price range of $50-$100, these colorful, stylish diaper bags are a great find and you'll see many ladies using these Vera Bradley diaper bags instead of the dowdy Winnie the Pooh option.

If price is no limit, then you can consider converting a Coach bag into a stylish diaper bag. Coach's website features the pictured Coach "Signature Stripe Multi-Function Tote" which Coach says is a "great gift for new moms." This Coach diaper bag even comes with a changing pad, but also comes with a hefty price tag of $398.

The truly style-conscious can go for the pink Louis Vuitton diaper bag or the Louis Vuitton Congo tote which comes with a waterproof pocket. These stylish Louis Vuitton diaper bags can retail for well above $1000, so you might want to make sure to keep these away from the kids crayons.
