1. Do you even like the bag? It's not really my style
2. What would you change? I'd make it very functional. Lots of pockets, deep pockets for bottles, a changind pad, the lining should be made of a material that can be wiped down easily (bottles leaking, etc.)
3. What color would you choose if you were to get one?
Pink, blue, yellow, green, purple-kid friendly colors
5. What color lining would you like? (nylon so it is washable)
Patterned/ Print or just a solid color? A patterned lining would be fun.

FOr me the key is functionality. It has to be easily accessible, able to hold a lot of items, but at the same time not be too bulky-you spend a lot of time stuffing it in the basket underneath the stroller
 
Needs to be deeper and larger,perhaps open end pocket sfor bottles...cell holder is handy as well.OTHERWise very cute...I do not like contrasting colors on my bags though..I tend to stick with tone on tone...

hello Everyone...

I have a deadline in 24 hours!

What do you think of this bag. It is the first sample made. It is actually going to be a lot bigger since it is going to be a BABY/ Diaper Bag.

So, use your imagination and make it bigger. The pockets will be deeper on each side for baby bottles

They left out the rivets and studs that will be in the front and back CORNERS and slightly up the sides.

Hardware WILL BE changed, I haven't fully decided on the buckles yet, I hate the ones they used

Italian Leather and all made in ITALY!

1. Do you even like the bag?
2. What would you change?
3. What color would you choose if you were to get one?
a. Black
b. Brown
c. White
d. Red
e. Blue
4. Which top do you prefer
5. What color lining would you like? (nylon so it is washable)
Patterned/ Print or just a solid color?

The edges are black right now but I was thinking to make the edges red. You know, like the part of your shoulder strap where they have like a melted edge? Does that make sense?

ANY AND ALL COMMENTS, whether good or bad will really help. This is a huge deal for me and I really need imput. I cannot imagine who else to ask but you guys! You guys are my purse gurus!

Especially if you are a mommy, I am not one so I don't know what I wish I'd have in a baby bag. There are lots of pockets inside!! And pockets on the outside...

Thanks SOOOO much!!


1. Yes! I like the bag!

2. Changing pad inside, feet on the bottom, wipeable lining in case of bottle spills. Loads of pockets: Bottle pockets inside and out. A few wide elastic bands for holding toys (small stuffed animals and such). Maybe even a keychain holder for moms who don't want to carry both a diaper bag and a handbag.

3. Of the choices you've provided, I would choose black. BUT, I would much prefer lighter colors including pink and blue.

4. Which choices for tops are available?

5. I prefer a solid color lining.

It's a great idea for a baby bag! I like the idea of leather studs. Kind of edgy and funky! I like that! Hope this helps!:D

Thanks.. No, the are making new sample for me. The new sample will be MUCH LARGER, in every way. Wider, deeper, taller.

Thanks!
 
1. Do you even like the bag? I like the shape of it, but there is something that doesn't seem right... might be the black.
2. What would you change? should be easy to open and access with one hand (figure the other will be on the baby), and not sure about the studs, but its nice originality. Make sure there is a comfortable shoulder strap, so when its loaded to the brim it doesn't hurt.
3. What color would you choose if you were to get one?
chocolate brown, lemon yellow, pale pink... mostly spring shades (but not white.. gets dirty too easy). Think refreshing/energizing!
5. What color lining would you like? (nylon so it is washable)
Patterned/ Print or just a solid color? A very feminine one, flowers, stripes, girly colors.... solids are boring ;) .

Hope that helps! I really wish you great success!! Make sure you update us on what happens!!

Yes, there is a changing pad inside, the side pockets will be taller to hold bottles.

Hmmmm, bibs. cute idea! Thanks.....

right now there is the matching wristlet and brag book (leather photo album with the matching studs, rivets....

Good idea about the bib!! I will name it after you or your little one if I make it. Would rivets and studs scratch a baby though?
 
I really need imput on which top you guys prefer. The black, tote-ish zipper. Or the white bag where it folds over and zips, kinda like a speedy where it rolls over. But it is easier to get into than a Speedy because it opens up, check the photos....

thanks guys!!
 
1. Do you even like the bag? Yes I like it.
2. What would you change? cute diaper pad with a cute saying on it. bib.

1. Do you even like the bag? not as a diaper bag
2. What would you change? make it taller, deeper, the side pockets on the end will not hold baby bottles.
3. What color would you choose if you were to get one?
a. Black<<of these choices, this one
b. Brown
c. White
d. Red
e. Blue
4. Which top do you prefer<<second one
5. What color lining would you like? (nylon so it is washable)
Patterned/ Print or just a solid color?<<doesn't matter.

In my opinion: and I am rushed right now, I would not even give this bag a second look as a diaper bag. It's made out of leather??? That might be OK to take some places, but I wish I had some pictures of my diaper bags after just a few months use. I got a really good one from Lands End and it was great, but after a year of lugging it around, getting milk spilled on it, spit-up, dropped in the dirt, cheerios crushed in it, etc....I may be different but I wouldn't choose a leather bag for a diaper bag. It is cute, though.
The one thing you have to change is to make it deeper. That bag wouldn't fit much stuff.
Sorry if this sounds terse, it's not meant to be. I'm just rushed and you said you needed feedback asap. Good luck.
is this a school proejct?
 
Hi iliabags-
Pretty bag- I was thinking back to the diaper bags I used and why I bought them....
I would make it out of a tough leather, like a pebbled leather-something beautiful and wipeable, and something I'm not afraid to get babyfood smeared on. A nylon printed material on the inside is a great idea- maybe with contrasting stitching around the outside- ie: red patterned/print inside with red stitching outside- or blue polka dot inside with blue stitching out- I loved my bags that had a front flap that could snap down to make a little "changing rug" if I was in some gross dirty area, and I didn't want to lay the baby on the ground to change the diapers. Or, have a slit in the inside that holds a matching nylon changing pad. Little mesh pockets inside to hold baby food, spoons, wipes, etc. would be handy as well.
So, I take it you are a handbag designer? Good luck and let me know if there is any other feedback/help you need! Marly
 
One other thing, the hardware deco on there, those cant come off can they? If so they may be a choking hazard depending on their size.

Even if they can't come off, any child will pull that bag up and try to chew on it. Wouldn't have any metal on there.

1. Do you even like the bag? Yes
2. What would you change? More pockets/less holes
3. What color would you choose if you were to get one? Black or red, or maybe a pastel colour
4. Which top do you prefer? No preference with ones shown, but in my experience, zip-tops and flap-overs are always good - no fussy buckles, for quick access!
5. What color lining would you like? (nylon so it is washable) Bright, fun and funky
Patterned/ Print or just a solid color? Patterned without a shadow of a doubt - got to think of possible spillages!

Like the sound of the 'piping' on the edges, a contrasting colour, perhaps in baby blue with pink edging, or black with red edging would be cool.
