DIAPER BAGS 2 RED HENS Homebase: Brighton, CO DESIGNER: Lori Burley Wholesale prices: $9-$90 Burley's patchwork style bags and related pieces have a pleasantly artsy-craftsy quality. Each item is covered in clear plastic so they're easy to clean as well.

O YIKES! Homebase: Cupertino, CA DESIGNER: Lisa Yap Wholesale prices: $40-$82.50 Talk about multitasking. Yap's Square bag offers plenty of room for diapers and paraphernalia as well as a standard 13" laptop. Not big enough? It expands to allow an additional two inches for whatever. Best of all, check out the retro 1960's fabric. Very cool.

THE BUMBLE COLLECTION Homebase: City of Industry, CA DESIGNER: Jennie Lynn Johanson Honey collection wholesale prices: $45 and $150 The Bumble Collection is evolving. While there are still plenty of sweet pastel colors and prints to order, Johanson now offers moms edgier styles. I wouldn't be surprised to see Katie Holmes toting The Queen Bee or the smaller Lil Stinger. The chic bags, available in chocolate and black Italian cowhide leather, have that effortless élan one associates with a star's accessories.

BIBS, BURP CLOTHS, BLANKETS BABY IN A BLANKET Homebase: Suffern, NY DESIGNER: Desiree M. Garcia Wholesale prices: $10-$45 The prints and cotton backings Garcia selects for her blanket and pillow sets are richly colored in 70's style hues. Her Organic blanket and pillow combo offers a lighter colored duo with a charming outline-stitched animal motif. Both sets enhance a kid's room and the environment as well. The lining in all Baby in a Blanket products is antibacterial, anti-fungal, mildew resistant natural bamboo and organic cotton fiber. It's a great insulator too, so the little one stays warm naturally.

BAMBINI CARINI Homebase: Cedarhurst, NY DESIGNERS: Rena Herskowitz Sizes: 3 months to 3 years; Wholesale prices: $8-$39 Bambini Carini's multi-piece coordinates are for sophisticated traditionalists who demand impeccable quality.

FUNKIE BABY Homebase: California DESIGNER: Cheryl Shonnard Sizes: 3 months to 3 years; Wholesale prices: $8.50-$39 When babies teethe, their clothing and everything nearby becomes saturated with drool. Shonnard's reversible bibs, change and sleep mats in wonderfully funky patterns are oversized and their unique three-layer construction makes them soak proof so nothing stays wet for long.

MUM 2 MUM Homebase: Sioux Falls, SD DESIGNERS: Jo Bond and Jo Keall Sizes: NB to 3 years; Wholesale prices for bibs: $3-$6.50 The super-soft, super-absorbent bibs, burp cloths, play and change mats, and hooded towels are must-haves for dribble prone babes. The all cotton velour toweling holds up to a 1/4 cup of liquid (great for infants with reflux) and the underside is a nylon waterproof backing. What's more, one style has sleeves to keep baby clean neck to wrist. Each bib is crafted with an adjustable snap closing for long lasting wear.
