RE: Got my Bubblegum bag!!
Lynne,
Thanks for the post. I'm still waiting for my Plum cord bag. I ordered the large, so it was a custom made bag. I'm glad to hear you are pleased with it. Do you like the color? Is it what you expected?
RE: Got my Bubblegum bag!!
Yes, I love the color. It is a deep plum - gorgeous! I think the combo you ordered (with the nubby satin) will be awesome! You won't be disappointed I'm sure.

Thanks for the review. I'm thinking I should have gotten the large now. Maybe I'll have to order another one. :-) Or just have to get use to not carrying alot of stuff with me. I can't wait for mine to get here.

Where are you buying these bags? Online? What's the url?

I'm still waitng for my bag & now my baby has arrived !!!!!! We're not staying home so maybe it's there right now, someone stops home everyday though to feed my rabbit so maybe it will be there tonight, I HOPE !!! I ordered a large, black toile & gingham, when I get it I will show pics.
RE: Got my Bubblegum bag - Me Too!
I just got my Bubblegum bag today also. I agree with Lynne, it is very well made. Very sturdy, nice quality fabrics too!
It's funny though because I ordered the same bag as Lynne, except I got the larger size with ivory lining (which is verrry nice and plush!). However, I wish I would have ordered the medium bag with shorter straps. The exact opposite of Lynne's complaint! Maybe we should switch bags. :)
I underestimated how big the large bag was going to be. I was looking for an everyday bag, but I think it is too big for that (at least for me). I never carried a very large purse, so this is huge for me.
The straps are too long for me also. I'm only 5'5". If I hold the straps by the handle with my arm extended down the bag drags on the ground.
I also ordered a matching changing pad and was extremely pleased with it. It is so plush. I got the plum cord on one side and the plum plaid on the other. It's not waterproof, but the material is heavy and reinforced. It's nice and big. I hate it when DD hangs over the pad and touches the changing table - yuck :P! There is also a little flap/pocket on it to keep a diaper and some wipes. She even has a little ribbon tie on it.
Overall, I was very impressed with the bag and pad. However, if I would have seen it IRL, I would have ordered the smaller bag.
RE: Got my Bubblegum bag - Me Too!
Too funny! I'm actually finding that I'm able to fit what I need for shorter trips in my medium bag, just can't fit my sling into it. I thought about the changing pad but then thought maybe it wouldn't fit in the bag. What size is the pad (open) and how small does it fold?
On another note, I got my snazzyseat this week and now my bag has white fuzz (from the chenille) all over the corduroy :( I need to sit down with a lint roller and get it looking nice again!

I emailed Brannon and she is going to let me exchange my bag for a smaller one. She is so sweet. :)
The changing pad is 27" x 11" open and about 6" x 11" folded. So, it is kinda big folded. You could probably fold it over again, making it 6" x 5.5".
