    Yes, you can. I have one OiOi Hobo left if you really want one, which I'm selling at cost. It's a woolen check. Black and white. Have a look on their site and PM if you're interested.

    I had an OiOi CarryAll which was great - except that it had plastic zips, which eventually broke - didn't take kindly to being routinely stuffed to the seams. Loved it though.

    Hated the messenger one I got, because if you're trying to get to things one handed, the flap keeps falling down.

    Now have an Isoki one (without the carry-all style straps, just the one big long strap), and I love that, the downside to that is that it's made of canvas so it's HEAVY (Falguni DID warn me!). But, considering I have 2 kids and pack like I'm travelling overseas when I'm really headed to the shops, any bag is going to end up heavy. It's got metal zips, so should work out tougher, and I talked to the owner who said that if anything goes wrong to bring it back to them, cos they don't want unhappy customers.
    I also unzip the bottom off the Isoki if I want it to be lighter, and keep the nappies in the main section of the bag, in one of the separate bags.

    Oh, and I use cloth nappies, and the Isoki, and OiOi CarryAll fitted nappies for both boys just fine.
    Let us know what you end up with! I love bags.

    Just had a look at the OiOi website...they have leather Hobos! Drooooling over the green, which I would buy if I was rich. And I like the Hobo Sacks too! They'd be perfect if they had tough zips!

    Hi,

    I have bought one of the leather OiOi bags in Orange, and it is beautiful. I got it when I bought all my nursery furniture, so got about $70 off the retail price, which brought it down to about $209. Still expensive, but it is lovely, and not as heavy as the Isoki- I wanted one of those until I picked it up, they weigh a ton empty.

    I would normally buy a new handbag every 12- 18 months so I figure this is the substitue that I will use as both baby baby and handbag.

    You need to buy something you will be happy to use for 2-3 years.

    For short outings I bought an Isoki clutch change pad with a pocket for small wipes pack and a nappy and bib. Got it at the Parent & baby expo for $15 so rapt with a bargain there!

    Hi, I'm new to this site. I found this thread on nappy bags whilst trawlling the net for the perfect bag! I guess it's an old thread but I hope someone is still reading? I was all set to buy the OiOi Hobo but then found out about Jujube here. Now I'm all confused as the leather OiOi Hobo looks lovely but the Jujube Be All seems so much more practical. My big conundrum is the change mat (do I even need one for a 13 month old?!) and how much room it takes up in the bag. With the OiOi I'm pretty sure it goes in the main compartment. Does anyone know whether there is a separate pocket for the change mat on the Jujube? I think that would swing it for me. Don't want my whole bag taken up by a change mat! Hope someone can help me decide. Thanks.
