I want to get a funky new nappybag- any suggestions!
OK girls i need some recommendations
I decided that it is getting impractical to take around my handbag, nappy bag and all the other guff that goes with a baby- so i am on the lookout for a funky bag that is a nappy bag- but without looking like one!
I am prepared to treat myself so budget isnt a deciding factor- i just want a really good funky bag that 'works'! Dont have to worry about bottle comparment as b/fed, but need to be able to chuck in nappies etc as well as room for purse, camera and all the other stuff you have to carry when you have 3 kids lol!
After stylish rather than trashy, classic but funky rather than trendy and bright!
Has anyone got a brand they recommend and where do you get them from
thanks lovely ladies
mwah!!
Well I have a funky but bright (giraffe canvas print - love it), but they also make leather. Oioi hobo is what I have. It manages to carry all I need for the three of us to head out. Not too heavy, sturdy, enough pockets for the impotant stuff without being a vortex....
I have an OiOi Nappy bag. THey are around $150 but I love mine, people always comment on it. I never take a handbag anymore as I just put my stuff in the nappy bag.
I got mine from David Jones but I think Babies Galore and other baby shops have them.
OiOi ones are good, you can google them & find them online. Or I too agree with the large handbag....there are some great ones out at the moment. Otherwise on the other end of the budget (think around $400 eeekkkk) are the bags by Il Tutto....google them.....very nice. I would love one but a bit out of my price range.
For me I like the longer bags with a strap that fits over the pram so I don't have to juggle it & child/ren & easy to get the stuff out.....so I've gone with the funky rush bags. DS had retro cars on his but its now trashed so I'm thinking the red with white star for next bubs.
I have a storksak (Mia) - great bag, looks nice and carries all the essentials! - just google storksak to see there full range - they can be pricey depending on the style you go for, mine was a gift, but i know it retails for around $199
I have 2 Storksak nappy bags - they're gorgeous! I have the Emily in gold (my fave!) and another stylish black one which they no longer stock. I got them both half price direct from their website during their end of financial year sale, hence why I bought two
This thread has inspired me to look at the OiOi website and I found the perfect bag... its purple - my fav colour.
Is it bad to buy it, even tho I'm not UTD (yet)?
Thanks for the suggestions.

Yep, the OiOi hobo is what I have, just in a plain blue though. They have some gorgeous prints. I saw in a local shop the other day this huge big handbag looking thing that was sorta like a guess bag and it was really a nappy bag too. I don't know what the actual brand of it was though.
If money is not an option you can't go past a ju-ju-be. you can order from their American website or from mamasandmunchkins (a site recommended to me who sell to australia and have good postage rates). I am getting one of these...they are teflon coated, machine washable (big Plus!) and have metal hardware for durability........and they have heaps of oh so funky prints!!!
If you are really really rich you may want to have a browse of petunia picklebottom......bit pricey but lush fabrics!
Just a couple of alternatives to the OI OI which is probably the best of the aussie labels...either OIOI or ISOKI if you want an aussie bag.
I love my Isoki nappy bag.
I had an OiOi, which I also really liked, but the zip gave out, I think cos it was plastic.
The Isoki is a bit heavier than most because it's made from a really sturdy material and has metal zips, but it fits all I need for two kids and has a good little nook underneath for my nappy stuff and other nooks too. And it's reversible, if you ever want to change from a solid colour to pattern or vice versa.
thank you so much girls for your feedback- i looked on the web and found a oioi red leather one that i liked but it said it wasnt released yet, and a Storksak one was well.
Went to DJ's today and they had both in the flesh!!!!
So after much deliberation, i am now the proud owner of a Red leather Oioi hobo nappy bag- I love it!! Just can wait to test drive it tommorow!!
oh yes! Kirrily nappy bags (google it), she makes them at home, we have the plus 1 here and it's great, you get to choose the fabric, she makes them at home, and they are great for a bub in cloth so I am sure you would have plenty of room!
I have a Kapoochi bag...black fabric but leather straps, bottom, and funky bits! It's so nice, it looks like a handbag...but it's NOT! I got mine from David Jones, but they have them in babyshops too...I Luuurve it! It doesn't make me feel mumsy! It has pleanty of compartments for phone, drink bottles, nappies, dummy pouch thingo.
