Petunia Pickle Bottom Diaper Bags
As I get closer to my due date (mid July, yipeeee!) I realize what a monumental role the diaper bag plays in the whole baby paraphernalia ordeal. Women carry their diaper bags like they would a purse, so obviously a certain status symbol situation occurs, I'm starting to notice it everywhere I go, moms casually scoping out the other moms diaper bag. As far as brands go the must have diaper bag du jour is without a doubt, say it with me ladies.... Petunia Pickle Bottom. If you live in Orange County or LA you are probably sick of seeing the signature tweed tapestry-esque bags, every mom has one. They cost considerably more than the competitors bags, the most useful and desirable ones are around $350. The problem I'm noticing is that you can't really have just one! I was browsing the collection a few days ago and the color combinations are so specific (think pinks and browns...or blacks and reds) that even if I could afford one I would probably go into consumer panic and want either 2, or none at all! See for yourself why these are the must have diaper bags of the decade...petuniapicklebottom.com!

I have one in black. I saw it in a boutique in Hawaii and incredibly, it was $600. I had to have it -- and I don't have a child.
Pros: It's exceptionally attractive, heavy, well-made, and makes a great travel bag for me. All the various pockets hold my passport, handiwipes for freshening up on the plane, cosmetics, and more.
Cons: It's VERY heavy. Rivets, thick upholstery fabric, all equal a lot of weight on your shoulder and on the bars of your stroller. Also, and this is the biggest con of all. For some reason, the strap which goes through the top to be used as a hand-carryable bag, is so thick, that my average sized palm cannot close around it, and it's quite stiff. It makes it very uncomfortable to carry in your hand, by the strap. Fortunately, there are many over the shoulder and stroller bar clip options, but this remains a big con for me.
I watched for mine on eBay, and bought it brand new, for $185. They turn up all the time in some of the more cutesy colors. The black, being the most "business like" or adaptable to travel, goes very quickly, but you can almost always find blue, pink and green for significantly less.
