The Gold Brocade version of the Soapbox Bags Moppet Fabric Diaper Bag is certainly a thing of beauty. It reminds me of an old tapestry or a ceiling in a historic manor.

The bag works perfectly as a diaper bag, but it can also be used for a laptop bag - which means you can use this bag even beyond baby. The bag comes with a matching changing pad, several pockets including 2 elastic pockets for baby bottles, and a washable nylon interior.

Although the bag is available in two other colors - Green Floral and Orange Circle, the Gold Brocade color is my favorite.

Recently I’ve noticed that several handbag trends have made their way into the diaper bag world which is perfect if you enjoy having your baby bag mistaken for a fashion or designer handbag.

	Patent Leather: Searching for patent diaper bags? Check out the diaper messenger bags from Kalencom. While they are not truly patent leather, the laminated canvas gives you the same look.
	Metallic: Of course you can find a bag in just about every color which includes metallic diaper bags - silver, gold, and copper. Just check out the Sheri bag from Baby Kaed which comes in silver with a fuchsia lining. A truly bling baby bag that also has functional organization.
	Quilted: No one does quilted quite like Vera Bradley. This Vera Bradley Baby Bag comes in several of the renown Vera Bradley patterns and all are made from 100% quilted cotton. Perfect for the VB-obsessed mom.
	Exotics: Diaper bags come in all sorts of materials, but how about crocodile? Okay, so this particular bag is faux leather, but you can get the look of an exotic material handbag without the frustration of trying to clean a python bag or real croc baby bag.

Check out what’s hot and new in the way of diaper messenger bags. Kalencom has 4 new bags available and all are absolutely lovely and unique. Perfect for the woman not satisfied with a plain pink or blue bag.

Diaper Messenger Bags are arguably some of the most functional baby bags out there. With multiple pockets for things like wipes and bottles, tons of storage, and easy carrying by shoulder strap, it’s no wonder that they continue to be very popular with moms and dads.

Did you know, however that diaper messengers can also be fashionable? From fabulous prints to stunning colors to exotic materials, diaper messenger bags have come to look more like beautiful oversized handbags than traditional baby bags. Check out some of my favorites below:

As messenger bags have become an urban fashion icon, diaper messenger bags are also becoming quite popular. The great thing about these bags is that they can be worn by men or by women and are designed to carry lots of items comfortably.

Baby Kaed makes a diaper messenger bag called the Avi-U. This bag is so cute that you can hardly even tell that it is a diaper bag. It sports funky antique brass hardware and comes in six different color combinations, including rust/cream, pink/chocolate, pewter/black, black/tan, blue/chocolate, and brown. It also has two large pockets in the front and back, a zippered pouch, and five interior pockets. Not only that, but it also includes a changing mat, a zippered mess bag, a pacifier purse, wipes case, and a cell phone pocket. The Baby Kaed Masala bag looks like a traditional messenger bag with the large shoulder strap that is worn over one shoulder and wraps around the chest, resting the bag on the lower torso. This bag is made of pebble leather with an easy-to-clean lining, and the strap has an antiqued brass buckle. It also includes all of the essential accessories, along with five interior pockets and two slide pockets for toys, books, bottles, and extra clothing.
