It's time for another co-op.

[Phoebe]

I too need an education here. What is a co-op? I've never heard of some of these names... Chester, Bandicott...

I bought a Petunia Picklebottom bag a year ago, or so. I'm sure I said to myself, 'One overpriced, fancy diaper bag is plenty'. Surely that would have satisfied me.... until now of course.

I checked out the ww and ella websites, and their products are darling.

Thanks!

Hi! A co-op is what happens when someone on this board makes an arrangement with a store or manufacturer for a special discount on their products. You'll see co-ops in all the forums, strollers, slings, diapers, etc.

Right now, here in the diaper bag forum, there is a co-op with:

1. Ella Bags (www.ella-bags.com)
2. Free ground shipping from Chester (www.chesterhandbags.com)
3. 10% off + free shipping on Bumble Bags from Wendy at Tangerine Tots
4. Timbuk2 (www.timbuk2.com) co-op (sign up for the Yahoo group to get the discount)

To answer your question about the bag names...Chester Handbags makes lots of good diaper bags (www.chesterhandbags.com) and the Bandicoot is the new model of diaper bag the Loom (www.loomlife.com) is releasing next month. :)

Hope this helps!

Don't forget there's also a Timi & Leslie (www.timiandleslie.com) co-op that's going on until July 10.

The co-op link is http://home.earthlink.net/~nooden/

Happy shopping!

Mariana,

Thanks for the describing what a co-op is, I had no idea they have them for diaper bags. What a great idea! I am interested in buying a Fleurville Alpha 7 and someone mention that there is a Fleurville co-op on Yahoo groups. I have tried to find it, but with little success. Do you have any idea of how I can get to it ? Thanks again!

HI, I'm new to this diaper bag craze but as I was going through the site I was sad that I missed the WW co-op. Therefore I vote for another WW co-op.
