    Oi Oi or Storksak Nappy Bags...or others

    So DH's anniversary gift for me never came....like the poor guy ordered it and it never came...so i have no idea what it was. The bank is chasing up getting the money back for us....SO...he said he will get me a leather nappy bag instead of my other gift.

    I have seen the oioi tan slouch bag that i love and there is also the storksak elizabeth. Anyone have either of these?

    What is quality like, appearance etc?

    Also, if anyone else has a tan bag they love and recommend please let me know

    I have an OiOi leather hobo, which I love! Can't say a bad word about the brand. I also just got a Vanchi Zepplin, because the OiOi isn't big enough for two kids. I haven't really had a chance to give it a good run, but it is great size and beautiful design. The only thing I don't love about it is that it isn't real leather, they call it enviro leather (or something like that), it looks great, but doesn't have that lovely texture that real leather does. But, I would still roecommend the Vanchi's because they're designs are just gorgeous.

    I have the Storksak Elizabeth in a dark brown leather, and it is BEAUTIFUL!! I already had a vanchi but they were selling them for $150 to raise money for the Japanese earthquake and I couldn't pass up the bargain! (My poor Vanchi is sitting in the cupboard).

    I love the look of it and the size, and it has worn really well. Probably looks better now than when I bought it. It has lots of compartments and a little bag inside (which I keep bonjela, lip balm, etc in ) and 2 really deep external pockets for keys and phone. The only thing I would say is that the bottle section is not a completely insulated pocket, it's a removable sort of half insulated section, which might have bothered me if I was still toting around bottles.

    Can't recommend it enough, although it is pricy. It has definitely lasted better than my other nappy bag though.

    ok I just googled the oioi and that is gorgeous too! They are both fairly similar look so I would just go with the one that you like the look of better and look at the sizes and accessories that they come with. Good luck deciding!

    Oooh, lusting after your choices. Let us know what you decide on.

    I'm still deciding whether I can justify a leather nappy bag or not. One of my friends just carries a regular leather oroton bag - no waterproof liner but I'm sure it was a lot cheaper than a real nappy bag too.

    I have a OiOi satchel that I love and have had since DS was born nearly 5 years ago. Fits plenty in and comfortable to carry.
    I purchased a Storksak when I was pg with DD but barely used it. It was too structured and small for my liking. It's still sitting in it's dust cover looking all new and shiny

    So I'd go OiOi anyday but I might have just picked the wrong style of bag for me!
