The best designer diaper bags are the ultimate saviour for new and seasoned parents alike. Rather than demand too much (and potentially ruin) your go-to leather tote or favourite suede bag, a made-for-baby style, be it crafted from nylon, canvas, or a technical and waterproof fabric, is the chicest way to carry all of your little one's essentials while being incredibly practical.
With all the items you need to tote around for outings (big or small), a bag with ample pockets, organisational compartments, and a changing pad is essential. When you consider the diapers, wipes, pacifiers, extra sets of clothes, teethers, toys, and milk bottles, it's clear that you need a spacious bag or backpack that can carry it all.
Some of our favourite designers have crafted specific diaper bags with room for the above and more. "When I became a mum, I opted for waterproof pouches to hold my baby supplies and used them in a non-diaper bag tote that felt right for me," explains Bloomingdale's fashion director (and mum of two) Marissa Galante Frank. She recommends bags fashioned from coated canvas or neoprene for a more conventional style. "[These] are great material options for a diaper bag because they can easily be wiped down."
We heeded Galante Frank's advice, prioritising easy-to-clean materials and many of our beloved designers at once in our edit of the 17 best designer diaper bags ahead.
