I wish I'd thought of it sooner!</p> <p>I *love* the many compartments these usually have for organizing, as you say, a small stash of clothes for a quick change as well as whatever you might want on the flight and for work if you're getting straight down to business on arrival. (I always pack at least a day's change of clothes, so two sets, just in case check-in luggage goes astray.)</p> <p>I actually like the idea of a wipe-clean interior, because I often bung in edibles and a small water bottle for bringing on those low-budget airlines, and find at least one of my clutch of pens also typically springs a leak on the flight --- every time without fail!</p> <p>The one I bought isn't so much like a woman's handbag, since my partner selected it so that he could use it too (without turning too many heads, that is!): <a href="http://www.mothercare.com/Mothercare-Messenger-Change-Bag/425124,default,pd.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mothercare.com/Moth.....lt,pd.html</a> (we got the denim version) I like that it looks like a regular large messenger bag/satchel on the outside.</p> <p>Another plus: access from the top without having to undo the flap. Gotta love that for getting through security a tad faster (stuff in scarf, belt, phone, sunglasses etc instead of queueing for trays).</p> <p>If I was buying just for myself, I may have got something more fun and eye-catching to match my carry-on case. I'd been eyeing this one: <a href="http://www.mothercare.com/Rosebud-Tote-Changing-Bag/435963,default,pd.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mothercare.com/Rose.....lt,pd.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/baby-bag-to-fill-wardrobe-hole#post-812432 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 03:17:52 +0000 jenanded 812432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think what I like is that they can expand across the gusset unlike a laptop bag/briefcase. And they have lots of pockets and I like that for travelling - no digging for your passport in some dodgy place... Claire, they are wipe clean inside but with leather and for this type of price I would hope it is good quality...</p> <p>These ones are from Australian- Isle of Charlie:<br /> <a href="http://www.isleofcharlie.com.au/collection/emma-nappy-bag-black.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.isleofcharlie.com.a.....black.html</a><br /> Then I found one who boast Cate Blanchett and Miranda Kerr as users... I quite like this one...<br /> <a href="http://www.vanchi.com.au/sydney-satchel.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.vanchi.com.au/sydney-satchel.html</a><br /> And then there is this one from the USA...<br /> <a href="http://www.bunnyberry.com/hudson-black-leather-tote-diaper-bag-by-nest.html?gdftrk=gdfV24847_a_7c2057_a_7c7302_a_7cDS_d_NE_d_SPD10_d_100&#038;gclid=" rel="nofollow">http://www.bunnyberry.com/huds.....038;gclid=</a></p> <p>I think I will order one and report back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/baby-bag-to-fill-wardrobe-hole#post-812360 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 02:07:45 +0000 goldenpig 812360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2! Where are they from? I know Ju-Ju-Be makes some faux leather diaper bags that look pretty nice--and are machine washable!<br /> <a href="http://shop.ju-ju-be.com/Earth-Leather-at-JU-JU-BE-CID294.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://shop.ju-ju-be.com/Earth.....ID294.aspx</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/baby-bag-to-fill-wardrobe-hole#post-812323 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 01:36:27 +0000 Atlantia 812323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been considering getting a baby bag rather than a briefcase. Something that can hold laptop in sleeve, lunch, and purse contents and still look cool. I like the timi &amp; leslie bags...they have a very fashion look to them.<br /> I've gone for a regularly laptop tote for now, since it works better for carryon with flights, but I really think the diaper bag is the way to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/baby-bag-to-fill-wardrobe-hole#post-812261 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 00:55:46 +0000 Anonymous 812261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks like a baby bag that has been designed to look like a working traveler's laptop bag, lol! I think it's a great idea, as long as the interior isn't that awful wipe-clean white vinyl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/baby-bag-to-fill-wardrobe-hole#post-812255 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 00:51:07 +0000 Ariadne 812255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I have a diaper bag from that brand (what is it's name? I can't remember). I use it as a regular bag all the time. It's cognac crackled patent leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/baby-bag-to-fill-wardrobe-hole#post-812236 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 00:35:51 +0000 carolbee 812236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a great idea. This is one of my weaknesses, always searching for THE perfect travel bag. Let us know how you go with whatever you end up purchasing.</p> <p>BTW I made myself a sleeve/bag that I can either put in the pocket in front of me or strap to the tray table. This holds my kindle, magazine, suduko book, reading glasses, pens/pencils etc So all my "stuff" for the plane is in one place, no fossicking around once I'm on the plane and less likely to leave anything behind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/baby-bag-to-fill-wardrobe-hole#post-812103 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 22:31:34 +0000 Sara L. 812103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bag looks good and might fill your needs. Baby bags usually have lots of interior pockets that make them easy to organize. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/baby-bag-to-fill-wardrobe-hole#post-812089 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 22:20:52 +0000 jenanded 812089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok - will check it out... I didnt see any oroton ones online - I recall they did them at one time...Thanks for the vote on this one Deborah... OK better get to work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/baby-bag-to-fill-wardrobe-hole#post-812080 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 22:16:21 +0000 Deborah 812080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clever idea Jen. And it does not look like a diaper bag at all IMO. There are so many cool designs around now in diaper bags and they can be quite versatile. I had an Oroton diaper bag some years back that I ended up using like this once it had ceased work as my baby bag:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/baby-bag-to-fill-wardrobe-hole#post-812055 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 21:46:49 +0000 jenanded 812055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been on the hunt for a bag that would particularly work for travelling and then be ok for work at destination. The 'one' that needs to hold meds, scarf, passpart safely, spare socks, laptop etc etc... And can easily go over your shoulder as you lug suitcases/ negotiate train tickets etc. What about a diaper/nappy bag!?!??!?! This is one I spotted - the model is from the website. These are the two styles they have which I like... What do you think? or anyone had experiences of doing the same? </p>
