Stylish Tote for a mother of two!
"About to become a mama to two! My current diaper bag is cute, but is really a beach bag that doesn't close. I need a stylish tote that is more functional and can carry diapers, a changing pad, all my baby essentials and NOT look like a diaper bag. Designer bags I generally love: Balenciaga, Celine. I hate bags that have big labels. Subtle and edgy, but functional and easy to carry around. And I don't want to worry about it too much... so I set the budget because I want to make an investment, but I don't want to have to worry about putting the bag down on the floor while I chase my kids around. Thank you!"
