Dobre Goods Diaper Bag (also 1154 Lill)

[wagner36]

Well, I'm still on my never ending search for diaper bags. I'm thinking about this one by Dobre Goods:

I like their fabrics and LOVE that they are waterproof. I live in Chicago, and I haven't found a store that sells the bambino bag yet, but I found a little boutique which can order it. Has anyone seen one in person??? I ran a search on this site, but only came up with two mentions of this brand, and no reviews! Please help if you have one!

Last week I had a diaper bag crisis and need something new right away! After hitting up the Kate Spade boutique (too big, and too difficult to get stuff out of), I went to a FABULOUS store here in Chicago where you can make your own bag (they also have some in stock which you can buy right there) and found a wondeful diaper bag:

This is just one of the bags they have in stock, and I loved the style of the bag. I wasn't wild about any of the fabrics that they had in stock, so I didn't get it. You can also go and pick out your fabric, so I'm thinking of doing that when I have more time. I'm looking for something a little smaller (and DS is still breastfeeding, so no need for bottles yet), so I got another one of their bags instead (in a slightly different fabric):

and I love it love it love it!!! Until I got this bag, I was always carrying a diaper bag AND a purse, and the pockets on that one are perfect, so that I don't have to. It is perfect for shorter trips, or for times when there are extra diapers in the car. I hate lugging a huge bag, so this is perfect for me. I received a zillion of compliments on it while we were at the aquarium and I think that I'll use it for a long time.

Now, though, I'm looking for something different so that I can have two diaper bags that are just for me (I'm sick of sharing with DH - who is a SAHD, so he has his own style ideas), so I'm thinking of expanding to the Dobre Goods (and getting the matching change purse and small container for "dirties" since DS is in a blow-out phase. Please let me know if you've seen it!


Thanks!

Tara,

Thanks for the post! I went on the website and ended up buying the Kelly bag in black and pink, and then when I went back to the message I saw you chose the Kelly also :). It looks really cool. Let me know if you find any other good web sites, I love your taste.
