I know that there have been a lot of reviews for the Jessica, but I thought I would chime in my $.02 about the Nicole, which is the smaller version of the Jessica. I purchased it NWT as an alternative to my OiOi Lime Dot Messenger (who am I kidding...it was also an alternative to my Red Skip Hop, and soon a T&L Mia Backpack, and a Graphic Timbuk2! :) )...I am really pleased with how it looks and what it fits. It's a tight fit for a day bag (I have a toddler and a 10-month old), but I like how the compartments have ample room and the look of the bag - not too bulky.
Here's what I fit into it:
2 size 4 Huggies
1 size 5 Huggie
wipes container
hand sanitizer
2 Sassy snack cups
1 SnakTrap
Insulated bottle holder
1 jar of baby food
Timbuk2 Medium Zip case (DS's meds) - these cases are awesome!
Wallet, keys, cellphone, palm pilot
little things like baby scissors, plastic spoon & knife, etc.
I could probably fit more stuff on the top of the bag, but I like having room to look for things, without taking stuff out.
I was really pleased with the workmanship. The bag is definitely more "home-made/custom made" than I am used to...but I thought the print would be fun (I'm more of a tailored gal). I appreciate the magnetic closures and the fact that it doesn't look huge on me (I'm 5'2").
Pics enclosed. I don't think Bumble Bags sells these anymore, as they have completely made room for the Jessica. But the Nicole is a great bag for those who have just a toddler or are light packers. If you can get your hands on one, it's a nice, neat package (and for $50, I thought was a pretty good deal :))...
