the baby bag!

by Blue-Eyed Bride on January 5, 2009

Ever since I was in high school when I received the black nylon Kate Spade messenger bag, I knew that I would to have the Kate Spade baby bag when I had a baby. This bag has only gotten cuter.

In this post, I mentioned that I had a large store credit to Kate Spade due to a little mix up with a certain green bag that ended up being one of my wedding gifts from my husband. He got a black bag and a green bag, but we were unable to return the black bag for a refund. But who says having a large store credit at Kate Spade is a bad thing?

While shopping in Charlotte last weekend, I decided to stop into the Kate Spade store to try on the baby bag and see which style I liked and what kind of strap would be the most comfortable. They were having a 30% off sale! 30% off and a huge store credit! They were practically giving it away! I had to get the bag that day while the sale was going on and before I used my store credit on a small clutch! This gorgeous bag was only going to cost us peanuts. Todd’s mom offered to get it for us and I’m so excited to have it.

I wasn’t really worried about making sure to get a pink bag if it’s a girl and a blue bag if it’s a boy. The baby isn’t the one that’s going to be carrying the bag for two years anyway. I wear at least one piece of black every day, so it’s going to match everything. I can’t stop staring at it!

My cousin’s wife has used that bag through 2 kids, and it is still standing! She absolutely LOVES it.

Now that her kids are a bit older [4 and 2] she uses it for other things too.

So cute!

Cute bag! I check out her diaper bags everytime I am at the mall… I have a Pottery Barn Baby bag that I am going to use, but I have my eye on a Longshamp bag that I really want.

Love it! It’s a great bag! I used an OiOi bag and loved it too – they have great styles! You’re going to be such a cute mama! Another great brand – especially for maternity clothes – is Olian – cute styles and very comfy! Oh, and I got the Canon brand camera bag they have at Target for my camera. It was around $50.

I saw a Kate Spade handbag and thought of you. Do you want a matching handbag to go with the baby bag?

I am delurking to say how much I lOVE that bag. The only (aff ordable ones) we get here (South Africa), have teddy bears or are pink or blue. It frustrates me endlessly, and I am not even close to being pregnant!
Love your blog!

23 Muffy January 6, 2009 at 4:56 pm

24 LyndsAU January 6, 2009 at 5:44 pm

Oh I love it! I am with you on choosing black!! It’s perfect for all outfits :)
And when I read this…They were practically giving it away!… I about died. That is how my mom and I justify buying things :) ha
