Does anyone know the brand name of this type of bag? (driving me nuts!!!!)

[Bathsheba]

Yes! Oh Dach you're a genuis! (will return after I have shared some love )

I tried to upload their homepage but it's too sophisticated for my poor dinosaur of a 'pute... but I got to confirm that, yes, CRUMPLER is the brand I was looking for. I really need a good quality satchel and back pack... my current ones are deteriorating fast.

How fantastic that Crumpler are a Melbourne company (I didn't know that)... started as a cottage industry and hit the big time.

I can't wait to go into a store now and choose.... how exciting!

And thanks again Dach! *mwah*

If anyone has a Crumpler bag please let me know... they are pricey and I assume good quality but it'd be good to know how happy (or not) people are with them.

Off to Google some more!

Also: This thread probably now belongs in the fashion/lifestyle section.... move if you need to Mods (Thanks)

ETA: It seems that lots of mums use Crumpler bags as nappy bags (from scanning Google) and the feedback is pretty positive in that regard. I'll need the bag to carry all my usual stuff; wallet, phone, diary, water bottle, and a few spare nappies etc.

Crumpler bags are awesome I have one for my camera gear.

I have a Maurice Messenger and I just LOVE it. I have had it for about 3 years, and use it constantly, and it is still in fantastic condition. The maurice would be good for what you mention, might be a bit small, but it has good pockets for nappies, and I do use mine for short trips when I only take a spare nappy too...

I was going to get one as a nappy bag too, but ended up with and OiOi...

I would definitely recommend them!!!

We have one as a camera bag and I also a tiny one in my nappy bag for DD's epipen & claratyne - oh and a mini one in my handbag for my mobile. They are absolutely awesome. If I didn't already have a funky Nicola Cerini nappy bag (also a Melbourne designer) then I would definitely get a crumpler one.

Thanks girls Only reading positive comments all 'round so far! (Here and on other forums) I'm fairly certain there is a Crumpler store in Little Bourke street (Melb. CBD) so guess where I'm going to be tomorrow morning during my "me time"!!!

ETA: there also seems to be a few fake Crumpler bags going around... so buyers beware! I'm going to buy mine from their own store just to be certain... it seems the store also does repairs on the bags when needed! Gotta love after-sale-service.

Bath- if it is for your computer, take your computer with you when you look at the bags. I was shopping for a bag for my mum over the net and phoned Crumpler to see if a particular computer would fit in a particular bag and they recommended always trying it in store. Just a little tip!
