As a new mom, one of the first things I did after giving birth was look for a diaper bag which wouldn’t crimp my style. No cutesy plastic-y bags covered with bears and bunnies for me. =) I found a nice cream and white bag at Whimsy which was spacious and stylish but didn’t have enough inner pockets. Thus started my quest to find the perfect locally produced diaper bag (in terms of specs and price). My favourites so far are Baby Couture and Nappy Sac which have become my staple baby shower/christening gifts to close friends and relatives.
Baby Couture produces bags which were great for moms. I’m now using one (Madeline) as a gym bag during the weekday. Visit their kiosk at the Shangri-la Mall to see the different designs.
Nappy Sac is another new local brand whic
h is a hit for those who love a splash of color (read: no limited to pink and blue). My favourite is the brown “Gabby” bag with its orange lining – perfect for the funky dad out for a stroll in the mall. I also like the “Jell” bag made of brazilian leather.
Newly launched a few months ago, the makers of Nappy Sac are negotiating with various retail outlets and the bags should
be publicly available soon. For those who want to get one now, contact Jell at 0917-522-6349.

I’m a proud owner of a Baby couture Diaper bag. No, I’m not pregnant (but am about to start training to be). The brainchild of Rea Uyco and family, these bags are a godsend for both Pinay working moms and kikay moms. I initially bought a few as shower gifts for friends and officemates but then quickly realized that the
spacious bags with multiple inside pockets would also help me in my neverending quest to organize. I quickly snapped up a
brown & pink Sydney for weekend shopping and a
sophisticated black & white Madeline for the gym. I absolutely LOVE my Madeline bag! It sure beats walking down Ayala Ave to Fitness First in full business battle gear with a knapsack on my back. =)Since the bag collection is still in its infancy (a walk-in store is in the works), the color choices and designs are fairly limited. But with a price range of P460 to P770 and relative exclusivity, who’s complaining? The bags are currently being sold by orders only. You may view them through the
website and contact Rea at miloku2003@yahoo.com.au for pricing and delivery options. The last time I checked, delivery of 4 bags or more was free so it pays to pool.
