I attended my first JBF sale in Edina last summer, where I purchased my current diaper bag, and went today in search of a new one. I've been through about 5 bags, searching for the perfect one! However, I've found that as my kids grow and change, so do my diaper bag needs. I picked up a cool bag with matching changing pad in like-new condition for $25:

It looks just like this one above, only with red trim instead of that lime green. (matching my funky glasses perfectly, thus I just HAD to buy it!) I like that you can wear it as a messenger bag, or if your arms are full (which mine always are with 2 kids), you can un-zip one side and pull out some hidden backpack straps.
After some online searching I found the bag is called the Shanghai Messenger Bag by Kecci. Amazon claims the list price is $58, but it looks like they are available from $32-$40, depending on whether you purchase the Shanghai or the Shanghai II:
At first glance of my designer's eye, while I love the look of the bag, I think the logo on the tag does a terrible job of conveying their brand name:

Does it say "KEEEI?" or "KCCCI?" Turns out it's "KECCI." If I didn't notice the extremely subtle difference between the "E" and "C" as a designer who works with type all the time, a non-designer mom is not going to know how to pronounce this or look it up. I had to do some Google searching with every combination I could think of before I figured out what this bag was! I'm guessing the subtlety of the logo reads better on paper, but does not translate well to textiles, which is a huge miss in my mind, being that their product itself IS a textile.
I think this bag will work well for all of my "stuff" now that I have more kids and less arms to carry their things. I'll let you know what I think after I've used it a while, and maybe will review it with all the various bags I've gone through already in a future post! Got a favorite diaper bag that you love? Share it in your comments as I'd love to hear what works for you!
Thanks for great information you write it very clean. I am very lucky to get this tips from you
