A name you may or may not know in the diaper bag world is Cherubini. With their first diaper bag introduced in 1990, this company was founded my a NY handbag designer and a NY advertising executive. The brand is about fashion and function - combining great design with impeccable quality.
Some of their bags are actually diaper duffle bags. These diaper duffels are made from either Crypton® suede fabric (stain resistant suede-like material) or vinyl depending on the color you choose. They all include matching changing pads with a wipe-clean surface, easy access, matching cosmetic case, lining (some with leopard print), and multiple pockets for things like bottles and other baby needs.
Cherubini diaper duffle bags are perfect for mom or dad.
