Before I begin, this review is not sponsored. Neither can I take any credit for the discovery of this amazing product, I blatantly copied my friend Lisa from NCT who had it first. I saw it, I wanted it and my parents kindly bought it for James and I as a gift.
I’ve written about my short trip Man Bag bargains before but it’ll come as no surprise to you that as soon as weaning was in full swing, Mabel’s paraphernalia increased ten fold – thus resulting in the requirement for an altogether roomier solution.
The Laessig neckline changing bag might actually belong to Mary Poppins, so seemingly never ending is the space and compartments available. I love a good “section” me, there are pockets for nappies, toys, wipes, food, bibs, muslins, spare clothing….and it comes with it’s own pouch that I use for cutlery, a bottle insulation case AND a sizeable travel changing mat. Yet it never seems to be bulky – certainly not compared to other designs that genuinely hold such vast quantities of stuff.
I love the soft grey textured material (purely aesthetic I know but I do have to take it practically everywhere with me) and even though lime green wouldn’t be my first choice of interior hue (!) it’s wipe clean and the contrast against everything I pack inside means I can find exactly what Mabel needs super quick.
The bag isn’t cheap at £109 but for me it’s already been great value, in fact I’d go as far as to say it’s been one of my best ever baby buys.
I’ve recently discovered that you can purchase a sky blue version of the Laessig neckline changing bag – very cool. I am equally impressed by the John Lewis “Mama” model’s pairing of a gold shiny legging with a pixie-esque bootie….
Do share your nappy changing bag best buys and thoughts in the comments box below, I would also love to hear about any “travel” size necessities you would recommend and where to purchase if possible!
This looks right up my street! I am in the process of making lists of all the things i will need for baby #1! I am 24 weeks now… the baby changing bag is something which has baffled me as i would still like something stylish!! But i am also very practical so this decision is killing me. This will definitely be on the short list and the colour is fab too.. just because we are expecting a girl doesn’t mean we want pink!!
I have also just spotted the tibi and marl bags has anyone actually bought one and are they any good??
Love this blog so much to say you & all the people who have commented on posts have helped me out is an understatement!!
I love the look of this bag, I’d use it outside of a changing bag. We (well me) went for the Storke Sak Sophia bag at a very decadent £250 (in my defence officer I was very hormonal when I made the purchase) however I don’t regret it for a moment, it’s beautifully made from the softest leather and will just look better with age in the way leather does. It’s roomy, has great accessories and when the need to carry half our home out with us has passed it can then be used as a stylish overnight bag (for all those grown up weekends away we’re going to be taking when little Miss is old enough for sleepovers at Nana’s) It is a classic piece that suits my style (feminine but not girlie) and looks just as good on M after all he’s as much her parent as I am so why shouldn’t he be considered in the styling.
Hormones are a great excuse for pricey purchases Jo! Love the Storke Sak. My friend had one and I was very jealous. xx
