Finally! Pics of my Dinatelli A7!

[twofallbabies]

SO sorry it's taken me so long! My digital isn't working right, so I had to take film pics, then take them to Walmart's 1hr, and then get them saved from disc, edited and then saved to Photobucket. But here they are!

Outside of the bag, hanging on the back of my P3:

Well I'm confused - that looks just like the Fleurville Alpha 7. Is it the same bag? Or did we have this conversation already? (the "knock-off" thread?) If so, then disregard my question :) It sure looks great though - I LOVE my Alpha. I hadn't thought of hanging it off my stroller that way. Great idea. Though I have a twin stroller and the strap fits perfectly over all 3 handles. But that's a great idea for a single. Anyway, enjoy your bag!

I love it! How do I get one? What other colors does it come in? And finally, how much $$ is this going to cost me?

Thanks!

[twofallbabies]

Yep, this is my Dinatelli A7 knock-off. :)

Heehee! All questions in the right order, lol!

These are knock-offs of the popular Fleurville diaper bags. The Fleur's name for this model is the Alpha 7, and I think the real version runs about $110. Mine is a knock off, and cost me $25 USD including shipping from a VERY nice Canadian mommy named Melissa. She bought it at a Walmart in CA. We're talking co-op, but it seems to be slow going keeping in contact with the distributor, and are waiting to hear what kind of discount we'll be able to get. They also said there are about 8 different styles, so everyone wants pics, too! Fabrics...this one is called Blue Rhapsody, the Fleur version is called Blue Chocolate. I think this one also came in Pink Rhapsody, and a White Corduroy in Canada.

Is it the same color as the Blue Chocolate Fleurville? If so, I think your P3 is Synergy? How does it match?
Thanks!

[twofallbabies]

Yes and yes. It matches just okay. I'd have rather had the white cord, but that was only available in the Mothership version, I think. But hey, for $25 it's great! The Blue matches my new Tuscany stroller a bit better, though of course not perfect. I'm thinking the lighter blue Skip Hop will go well with my Tuscany though.

Thanks for the pictures. Did you decide if you are going to keep it or not?

The colour of the Dinatelli knock-off is *very* similar to the Alpha Blue Chocolate. Very. I had both here for a bit before I gave my friend the Dinatelli.

Also, if anyone is interested in the Dinatelli white cord knock-off, let me know...I have one here already (still NWT, no bill though) that I bought that I was going to keep for myself, but have my eye on something else, so am going to get rid of it! Cost is $27.93 (I think) + shipping (and, when I shipped these out to a couple of other Mom's on here in the US, shipping was about $11.25USD, give or take...actually, I think that's a touch on the high side). Let me know...I may post this seperately as well.

So are these only available in Cananda?? I did a Google search & couldn't find ANYTHING on these bags. It's very cute, & the right price! No Fleurvilles here unless I go back to work :-)!!!
Oh, also...does this bag have the backpack straps that convert to messenger bag?????????

[hellokitty]

Oh wow, that looks sooo nice! I hope the co-op is able to get up and running, b/c now I am drooling over this bag. I don't remember, but what is the material of the outside of this bag, it is that shiny plastic or more of a dull vinyl?

My DH is going to killme, I have about 10 diaper bags!

[cchavez]

not the A7 or am I wrong? thanks!

[RiaHannam]

Jessica,

First off, thanks for going to so much trouble to take pics, get them developed onto disc, resize and uploaded onto here! Phew, that is no small feat. I know we all appreciate the legwork you did on this.

Gosh for the price that bag is pretty nice! I currently have an Ameribag Tote and just love it, however it was more expensive than this. If I saw one of these IRL I'd probably just buy it - I mean why not??

Perhaps I can snag one via a co-op if it ever works out.

Thanks again for the pics and review :-)

[Truska]

It seems to be that right now, they are only available in Canadian Walmarts...someone did a search and discovered that they're based out of Montreal, but other than that, there isn't much info out there on them, unfortunately!

And yes, the knock-off A7 does have the two sets of straps, so that it can be worn either shoulder/messenger style, or backpack style!

HTH!

(Sorry, I'm answering because I've sent some of these out to ladies here, and have seen both bags!)

[Truska]

It depends on which bag...the A7 knockoff is the dull vinyl (just like the Alpha 7) and the mothership knockoff has the shiny plastic/vinyl on the exterior, over either white cord or a pink (similar, again, to the pink chocolate motherhsip)!

HTH!

[Truska]

Yes, you're right!

[slecompte]

I definitely am interested in a co-op!!! I would love to have one of these!

Haven't decided yet. Have a cousin expecting her first, a boy, in Sept, so may give it to her for baby shower gift, packed with all those great diaper bag things.
