Gerber Fashion or Madison Tote

[tbairstow]

I have been looking for a new diaper bag that could double as my purse. I really wanted the Skip Hop Studio but hesitated because of the price and some negative reviews. Then I came across the Gerber Nylon Fashion Tote

Has anyone purchased this one? If so, what did you think of it?

I've never seen that one before, but I like the way it looks in the photos on Amazon. My experience with Gerber and Carter's bags (from shopping only, not from actual usage) is that they are made with cheap materials. However, for $25, I say you have nothing to lose!

Well, I went ahead and ordered the bag and I have to say it actually is pretty nice for the price I paid. I'm considering getting a second in a different color. I went and looked at the Skip Hop Studio at Bed, Bath and Beyond and I think this one definitely compares to it and is less than 1/2 as much. I'm not sure how it will hold up in the long run, but so far it looks good.
