Who wouldn’t think sophisticated style when they hear the words Burberry Diaper Bag? I know I do.

The Burberry Nylon Messenger Baby Changing Bag is certainly among the more sophisticated looking baby bags out there with its signature Burberry plaid design and trademark inscription on the handle. In fact, you would almost mistake it for a Burberry handbag if not for the fold out changing mat in the zip around front pocket.

The bag is made from nylon with patent leather trim, sateen lining, and an adjustable twill canvas cross-body strap. There are several interior zip pockets and patch pockets including one zip pocket that can divide the bag in two or be attached to the side with velcro.

I could see myself carrying this bag somewhere in New York or Paris this time of year with anything from designer jeans to a slightly dressier look.

Find the Burberry Nylon Messenger Baby Changing Bag at Burberry.com for $850.00.

If you know diaper bags, you know that these days they are far from the pink and blue cutesy bags of the past. Now you can find designer baby bags and diaper bags that look like purses. Brands from Vera Bradley and Gerber to Kate Spade and Cole Haan are all making diaper bags that are so stylish that you’d never think they contain bottles, diapers, and wipes.

If you’re shopping around for diaper bags that look like purses, here are some things you should consider:

• This season’s handbag trends: What’s hot this season (or this coming season)? Think about what the handbag trends are and try to find diaper bags that have these elements as well. For instance, spring 2010 handbag trends include bright colors (even neon), bohemian chic (tassels, fringe, and hobos), hardware (studs, grommets, zippers, buckles), and floral prints.
• What you like in handbags: Go with what you like in your purse. If you love carrying a tote bag, then carry a diaper tote. If you love the look of hobo handbags, look for a diaper hobo. You don’t want to buy a cross body bag or messenger if you don’t like those as normal everyday bags because you’ll feel uncomfortable carrying that style of diaper bag.
• Label: Are you label-obsessed? Do you just love being spotted with names like Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Coach, and Cole Haan? Then you should look at carrying designer diaper bags. Do you want that designer look for less (are you trendy by less spendy)? Well, check out brands that offer stylish designs for a fraction of the price of designer bags - Timi & Leslie, Liz Lange, and Kalencom are great options.

With Coach, you either love it or hate it. Chances are if you’re reading this you love Coach. And when looking at their latest diaper bags, it’s no wonder. Like their always trendy handbags, Coach diaper bags are beautiful pieces that go with just about anything from casual to dressy. In fact, their baby bags don’t even look like your average baby bag (and they’re not of course).

Take, for instance, the Coach Addison Op Art Baby Bag. While I’m not a huge fan of pink, I actually like this bag in that color. It’s a softer pink with patent leather trim. The bag features a coordinating changing pad, multiple pockets inside and out, detachable strap, zip top closure, and plenty of room for baby items.

And if you like patent (which is totally hot of course), you’ll love the Coach Addison Patent Baby Bag. This patent leather diaper bag also features multiple pockets, zip top closure, changing pad, and detachable strap.

These days diaper bags are all about fashion and style. But if you want style without a huge price tag, where do you turn?

You turn to Timi & Leslie. Timi & Leslie diaper bags live up to their tag line “For the Woman in Every Mom” but don’t come with the outrageous price tag of other designer brands. The bags hardly look like diaper bags, but rather handbags. And these bags are chock-full of features including wristlets, key fobs, changing pads, dirty clothes bags, and just about everything that makes a mother’s life easier.

Timi & Leslie diaper bags have been spotted on the arms of celebrities like Courtney Cox, Christina Aguilera, Angelina Jolie, and Nicole Kidman.

Sure we’ve all heard of designer diaper bags. When you hear that maybe you think of Coach or Kate Spade. How about Burberry diaper bags? That’s right. Get the same signature Burberry look in a baby bag. Whether you are looking for a flap over bag (messenger style) or a classic open top shoulder bag, you can find it with the beautiful check pattern and leather trim you’ve come to love at burberryusaonline.com.

Also be sure to check out (no pun intended) the Burberry stroller with quilted chair.

Check out the latest diaper bag from Debbie Rott. The Sienna Diaper Bag Handbag is made of leather and is sort of a slouchy tote shape with pink accents and bow. It has a zippered top closure though to keep contents safely inside. It features multiple pockets including 2 inside for bottles, 2 outside pouches, 1 large zippered pocket, and 4 more inside pockets for baby necessities. The bag also has a beautiful swirl patterned lining with matching changing pad. It’s perfect for the mom who wants a diaper bag that’s more chic.

Have you seen Storksak bags? They’re gorgeous! Truly designer diaper bags if I say so myself.

Storksak diaper bags come in several styles including ShoulderSaks, Mid-SizedSaks, Backpacks, and UnisexSaks. If you shop on their website you can check out these styles plus accessories including changing pad, bottle holder, and stroller clips.

One of my personal favorites is the Jess Red Label Red StorkSak. It’s new for Spring ‘09. This bag is a water resistant canvas satchel with faux-leather trim. It features tons of pockets both inside and out, a padded changing mat, insulated bottle holder, and adjustable shoulder strap. And at $158.00, it’s beatiful style for a great price.

Elaine Turner’s baby bag - the Prince bag - is a sophisticated designer diaper bag. It’s chic style and quality without being too flashy like some designer bags. It features a baby logo plate reading “prince” so it’s perfect for mom’s of baby boys. It also includes 2 exterior bottle and pacifier pockets, 2 front slip pockets, 1 interior bottle pocket, 1 pull out zip pouch, and a diamond quilted changing pad.

 

 

OMG. Have you seen Juicy Couture Baby Bags? I like to think of them as diaper bags with attitude. Made from luxurious velour, these bags are soft and stylish and they make a statement - that you’re no ordinary mom.

The bag featured here is the Juicy Couture Velour Baby Tote in espresso quilted velour. It features goldtone hardware, golden embroidery lettering (says “Couture Baby” and “Enfant de Juicy”), crown changing pad, and even a Couture burp cloth and bib.

 

	Cole Haan may be best known for designer handbags, but did you know they also have a diaper bag? The Cole Haan Kyle Baby Bag is stylish and lightweight. It features:
	Custom nickel hardware Logo jacquard lining Strap that can detach and attach to strollers Exterior pockets - both zip and magnetic 2 interior slide pockets and 2 interior drawstring pockets
	Be the ultimate fashion-forward mom with a Cole Haan diaper bag.
