I received my Fleurville Mothership this week! It's a great big bag! Anyone that's looking for a day bag or has multiples, this is definitely one to consider.
I bought the White Corduroy color. All of Fleurville's Mothership bags have a clear vinyl layer covering all exterior fabric. This turns off some people, but I love the idea of being able to wipe it clean with a wet cloth. This will also serve as my pool bag this summer. There are three exterior pockets, one large one in the back, and two side pockets with a velcro closure. The strap is a good lenth for shoulder use or as a messenger style. The strap is not adjustable, and when being worn messenger style, this hits a little high. The strap has a nylon underside and the same fabric with vinyl on the top side. It is nicely padded as well. To protect the bag, there are 4 large metal feet on the bottom.
The interior is a caramel colored nylon. There are three interior pockets, one very large one in the back that holds my diapers and burp cloths, one long pocket up front which is perfect for holding a packet of diaper wipes, one shorter pocket up front, which will also fit a wipes packet. There is also an insulated bottle holder which will hold a jar of baby food and a 9 oz. Avent bottle on top of that. Opposite the bottle holder is a sleeve which holds the rolled up changing pad. You can remove the changing pad if you want the extra space. There is a key clip too.
The Mothership includes a large ditty bag and large padded changing pad, both nylon. If I fully pack this bag with my normal day-long supplies, I can only fill it up half way! This is a big bag. I could easily fit a pool towel on top of everything, if I wanted to.
The pictures below show it packed with the following:
Three size 3 diapers
Huggies wipes container
2 burp cloths
2 outfits
Sassy fomula container
Teether
1 jar of Stage 2 baby food
9 oz. Avent bottle
Bib
Stuffed doll
Ditty Bag containing sunscreen, a couple creams, spoons, hand lotion, Tylenol drops, etc.
Changing Pad
I usually add my Loom watermelon clutch too, but it's not in this picture. Fleurville make a matching wrist bag that serves the same purpose as the Loom clutch.
The pictures below also compare the Mothership's size to the Loom Marsupial. I's say the Mothership has about twice the capacity of the Marsupial. Let me know if anyone would like more photos or details. Enjoy!
