In the not-very-distant past, designer diaper bags were a status symbol for the rich and famous. That era has ended, as now there are many lines of useful and stylish baby bags that are also affordable. I call this the democratization of designer diaper bags. Many design elements and options on diaper bags are available to the contemporary shopper, and for a lower price than ever before.

Beginning with fashion trends, it’s now easy to fit right in with the season’s hottest fads because the major baby bag players are keeping up with the top designers in the US and Europe. One example of this is fad of having grommets on handbags; this was popularized by top models and quickly led to one of the most popular diaper bags of all time, the Nest Whipstitch. Italian leather, vintage fabric, trendy colors and design – this is how today’s designer diaper bags are built, giving parents a chance to accessorize while on the move like never before.

This is no flash-in-the-pan fad, however. Today’s designer diaper bags are more popular than ever due to not only their attractive design but also the functional improvements of the bags. Today’s diaper bags are not canvas throw-alls but highly tested bags with dozens of specialty pockets and features, such as removable diaper changing pads and water-proof sections for laptop computers. As demand for these specialized bags increased, so did production, leading to affordable choices to compliment the high end design bags that started the trend.
