First, the customer service is great. Jennifer sent me swatches of
two fabrics I was looking at (Vermillion and Velvet Swirl), answered
all my questions and kept me posted on the progress of my bag (i.e.,
when she bought the fabric, when she took it to the seamstress, when
she picked it up and mailed it). And my new made to order custom
bag is here in my hands less than 2 weeks after ordering it!
Ok, now the bag itself...I bought the Market Bag (because a previous
review indicated the diaper bag was HUGE) in Velvet Swirl. The
pictures of this fabric do not do it justice...it is very pretty...a
deep purple/burgundy that is almost chocolate.
The bag is very floppy as you would expect a fabric bag to be, but
that also makes it lightweight and stuffable. It is well made and
washable which is a plus! The bag is also reversible so you can
decide where you want your pockets! The bag is completely open, but
does have ties to pull the sides in and semi close it.
I was concerned that the strap on the market bag would be too short
so I had asked about having it made longer and Jennifer suggested
making it adjustable. I am so glad I did that...shortened it is
great tote-style over the shoulder and longer it is perfect across
the shoulder messenger-style.
The market bag has two bottle pockets on each end, which are a nice
big size and plenty tall too! I fit the ju-ju-be sippy rocket in it
with no problem. There are two medium-sized pockets...one on the
inside one on the outside for whatever you want....a small
wallet/wristlet would fit, keys, cosmetics, etc.
I added another large split-pocket on the other side; the split is
off-set a bit so that one side holds my cell-phone perfectly while
the other is great for my PDA.
I packed up the bag quickly with most of my normal stuff:
* Ida's case (hard wipes case, size 4 huggies supreme, Large prefold
CD, diaper baggies)
*Ida's case (two small board books, mini doodle-pro, mini playsilk,
rubber ball, tubey toy)
* large checkbook-sized wallet
* cosmetic pouch (lotion, purell, bandaids, lipgloss, emery board)
* cell phone
* PDA
* sippy rocket
There was plenty of room to throw in extras (snacks, hat, jacket,
etc.)
I can see using this bag for a long time since it truly just looks
like a nice purse. I can't wait to take it out...now how do I slip
it by DH?
