Current Favorites: Bags
WHEN SEARCHING FOR THE PERFECT DIAPER BAG FOR MY FAMILY, I STUMBLED UPON MANY BRANDS, STYLES AND FABRICS, BUT AZARIA’S LE MERE STOOD OUT TO ME MOST.
I quickly became such an Azaria fangirl, that I snagged a tote bag for office days, as well a few smaller items like a crossbody, clutch, diaper changing mat and makeup bag. These pieces are a mix of vegan leather and genuine leather, depending on the style. The quality is perfection across every piece. Our diaper bag has held up with every baby bowel explosion, the massive amount of toys we tote around, and milk-spills galore. (I wouldn’t have this any other way!) Some of our non-negotiables for a diaper bag included:
Comfortable to wear and carry for both mom and dad
Gender-neutral style
Lots of pockets, never enough pockets
Can be cleaned easily
Timeless design to last through kids 1 and 2 (and 3?)
Big enough to carry the necessities, but small enough to be super portable
A backpack style to be hands-free when out and about
Easy to find, right?
INTRODUCING AZARIA, AND WHY I’M LOVING EACH AND EVERY PIECE:
AMELIE TOTE IN MAPLE
To carry my personal necessities, the perfect sized tote does exist. iPhone slides into the front pocket, Karst sustainable notebook fits perfectly inside, along with wallet, keys, etc. I’ve found that I prefer carrying my own purse along with our diaper bag to keep my own essentials out of Everett’s way. Compartmentalizing these has made for a smoother process out and about, when searching for something we need.
LA MERE ORIGINAL IN CHESTNUT
Matching sneakers, neutral coats, @azariabrand backpack — classic Ev & Mama uniform.
Lately in our diaper bag:
- pea and spinach crackers (dissolvable and used for teething)
- muslin blanket for extra warmth
- about 100 toys
- the classics (diapers, wipes, first aid kit, clothes, burp cloths and a bottle)
We love our backpack for carrying the necessities and then some — plus, it’s hands free, vegan leather and super cute.
CAMERA CROSSBODY IN BONE
This beauty sold out FAST and isn’t currently available, but she’s a go-to for date nights or smaller purse needs. Fits just the essentials, but also a spare diaper just in case. Here is the clutch I have in color bone, as well.
