Bumble Bags, although they get the award for world's most annoying website, carries tons of baby bags, accessories, and other stuff. This bag is the Jessica Messenger, and the print is the pretty "buttercup bliss" It comes with a matching changing pad, and can be worn as a backpack, over the shoulder, or across the chest. The interior and exterior are water-resistant and stain resistant. The size is 16.5" wide x 13.5" high x 4" gusset.
First Impressions:
This is a very pretty bag. Karl's reaction was "I think my mom has curtains just like it." I'm not sure if I would go that far, but it's definitely more feminine than I'm used to. The background is a light yellow/white mottled, which is sort of strange, but the blue, brown and green is all very nice. The bag is very floppy- it wouldn't stand up on its own, and the fabric is very soft; I can't imagine it is really stain and water resistant. Seems too good to be true.
Second Glance:
The straps are not very comfortable or sturdy, and the messenger flap is HUGE! There are a lot of great pockets, including a zip-down changing pad/pocket to keep all that stuff separate. The center pocket is huge, as well as the side bottle pockets. There is also a back pocket for mommy stuff, which I like. The cording seems pretty sturdy and durable, but I'm not sure the fabric is durable- it seems like it might rip pretty easily.
Conclusions:
This is a really beautiful bag - I love that it matches my overall color choices in my own life! This is probably my second favorite, after the giraffe bag. The straps are a disappointment, and the durability of the bag is a question. But there is no doubt I would be very happy with this bag overall.

You will for sure want a bag to sit up when you set it down IMO.
We welcome feedback and appreciate you taking the time to review our product. We are especially happy that you named our Jessica Messenger bag as one of your top 2 favorites!
I do want to address a few key points that I thought would be helpful to your readers...
1) Our products are the lightest weight diaper bags on the market, but I can assure you that once you pack a few items inside the "Jessica" bag, it becomes quite structured and stands on its own. We do offer several bags with a hard bottom and a more structured look (i.e both the "Natalie" and "Kimberly" bags).
2) Our products are indeed water and stain resistant. Through a unique technology that interweaves water and stain resistant fibers, all our products are both water and stain resistant without the use of any unnatural chemicals or topical treatments. In fact, all our products are machine washable!
3) All our prints are hand drawn by our designer and takes months of work to create just one print.
4) We stand behind our products and do believe that they are durable. We do our best to ensure that our customers are satisfied with our products.
