Spring/Summer 2011 Established Accessory Lines: Diaper Bags Have 'bag' will carry (the following are some diaper bags lines that caught my attention at Children's Club, October 3-5, 2010).
Stylish and functional diaper bags Designer: Rashmi Budhram Wholesale: $9 - $125 What's the BIG idea? The name says it all: the line was conceived in 2009 by a fashion forward mom of two, with a corporate background, who was intent on creating a line of fully insulated, water and stain repellent diaper bags (and accessories) that more resemble 'it' bags than your average, run of the mill diaper bags. In addition to her Luxe Collection (made of canvas and leather), Ms. Budhram just added a new lower priced nylon Everyday Collection which includes satchels (the plum satchel is her best seller), the 'Stash & Go' bag which can be a bottle bag or lunch bag, and the 'Stinky Bum' bag, an insulated clutch made for those 'quick trips' which can fit into a larger Momma Couture bag (I laughed when she told me the name, saying she has "a lot of diaper changing in her life").

Smart stylish products for baby and parents on the go Designer: Rebecca Campora Wholesale: For more information, contact the company directly Sizes: Infant, Layette, Toddler What's the BIG idea? French-born Ms. Campora, who was a designer of women's ready to wear, brings that talent (and more) to the table, mixing the practical and fashionable, not to mention the best of both cities (Paris and New York) in her unapologetically architectural, sophisticated, hip, and ultra urbane line. Many of her award winning iconic designs (The Pookie Poncho, a baby carrier cover which converts to a blanket; Le Sac Igloo; and the Blanket 212evolution) are not only trademarked, but have become instant classics, and she adds new colors and new styles every season. This time, noteworthy newcomers are the Barcelona bag which still has all the bells and whistles of the larger water repellent, lightweight Voyage bag (two front pockets, roomy interior with pouch, lunch box, changing pad inside; a zipper which goes all the way down for easy access, etc.) but transformed into a smaller, more compact size; and her new range of fabulously chic metallics (Prussian blue, metallic plum, metallic leaf, metallic silver) which show up across the board (bags, mittens, booties, hats, scarves, blankets.

Uniquely designed diaper bags Designer: Adrianna Whitney; Alyssa Apple Wholesale: $75 - $140 What's the BIG idea? Stylish and fashionable, Danzo diaper bags don't look like your typical diaper bags, and are specifically designed with mom and dad in mind. From the outset, every bag was equipped with a unique system of patent pending see through 'forget-me-not' pockets and labels (13 in all), which ensure parents will never leave home forgetting those all important baby items. This season, their inspired idea was to add another set of 13 labels with just mom in mind, instantly transforming that great looking and practical bag into the ultimate and perfectly chic carryall for every day use. (Is a set of 'dad' labels on the horizon?) Also new: the black and natural Canvas Tote Bag with detachable shoulder strap; the black patent oversized Backpack; and the nylon Hobo newly colored in a fall and holiday perfect shade of deep plum.
