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!
