I bought the Oi Oi Blue Stripe Messenger Bag during the Diaperbags.com sale, and it's on its way back today! I was a little dissapointed in it, but I thought I'd go ahead and do a review for anyone that may consider this bag.
It's a large bag with a very spacious main compartment. It includes several accessories including the full size changing pad, insulated and removable bottle holder, and a clear vinyl zippered pouch. There are a few pockets inside and 2 outside. The exterior is a heavy cotton twill with no coating. The interior is a bright red lighter-weight cotton twill, also with no coating. The strap is not long and is not adjustable. I was not able to wear this bag messenger style, and I'm only 5'2". The closures are all velcro.
The reason I'm returning it is because of the fabrics and the strap. I don't see why they call it a messenger bag, if you can't wear it messenger style. The cotton fabrics look nice, but I don't think I could clean this bag myself if it got dirty or soiled. I'm also picky about the velcro, I don't want the whole world to hear when I open my diaper bag.
Overall, this bag is cute, but in my opinion, not worth the money. I exchanged it for a preorder on the Robin's Egg Blue Loom. :)
