Got my Chester and Dobre

[blnony]

I recieved both bags today!! Whooo Hooo.
I haven't got to really play with them much; but I have great first impressions on both.
The Chester tote is more slick feeling, has two pockets on the outside, and two bottle pockets on the inside.
The straps are a canvas webbing, much like the ISM tote. It will def. stand by inself and it has a slick canvas interior. ITs a darling bag.
The Dobre Bag is the Bambino style and seems great. It has more of a fabric feel than slick, and has a huge zipper pocket on the outside and a hugh pocket on the inside for the changing pad and two other big pockets and one bottle pocket. Its a very good quality bag; more so than I thought when I ordered it. It does have a slick interior for easy cleaning. Both bags have zipper closures. The Dobre bag is bigger than the Chester, but both are good size.
I don't see myself getting rid of either like i thought I would because both are just adorable.
The Chester bag did come with a change purse and changing pad and the Dobre bag came with a changing pad too.
I'll try to post so pics later when I get a chance.

Oh good! I love my Dobre bag too! I got mine before DS was born last year, and I don't use it all that often, but I am always really happy when I do. I have the Washington Square fabric - what do you have???

Brianna, I'm so glad you like your new bags! I can't wait to see pictures!

Did you order them from the same place? The store I ordered from no longer carries the Bambino Bag, so they can only send me the Toddler Tote.

Glad you like the bags.

If you have time, I would be interested in seeing pictures of the Chester bag. Also, can you tell me where you got the Chester bag--I like the zipper top closure and I only am able to find the magnetic button closure.

Brianna,

I've been eyeing the Dobre Goods bag for a while and am dying to see pics when you get a chance! Which print did you get?

Here are some pics.
The Dobre Bambino is the Cirque print and the Chester Classic Diaper Tote is the Red Flower print (I forgot the real name)

Cute bag! Love the pattern!

ETA: let me specify, I love the Dobre bag's pattern.

I went ahead and ordered it from the totshop. I wanted that size and that pattern so I paid the ridiculous shipping! :D
I ordered the Chester bag from chesterhandbags. I had great service with both places.

Mariana, where did you order your bag? I didn't see a toddler tote on the dobre site.....I REALLY LOVE the baby bag in cirque.....but maybe the toddler tote would suit my needs right now.

I ordered the Toddler Tote from http://www.bellissimama.com/diaperbags.htm, but they only have it in the Green Hawaiian and Denise's Doodles prints. But I think it's the same as the "Phys Ed" bag on the dobregoods.com site.

The dimensions on the Phys Ed and Bambino are pretty close. I was torn on which to get.

The Phys Ed is 12x18x5
The Bambino is 12x15x6
