I was sitting with my kids in an ice cream parlor and a woman entered with this great bag. Normally I do not accost strangers, but I had to know who made this bag. Turns out it was a local company, Zosephine, founded by woman who designs the fabrics and bag styles. Though not in need of a diaper bag, it was the only style I could find so I bought one anyway. I use if for everything! My laptop, regular purse stuff, and those random sherpa duties requested by the kids (game boys etc.,). Very cool. I hope to see more bags in the future.

I don't have any children, but I use one of these bags (the Seattle one) for when I go swimming at the pool or beach - with it's waterproof interior it's practical and it looks good. I love it! I have the largest size and it's big enough to fit everything for a day out, or for a weekend away. I don't use it as my day-to-day purse because it's too big. I also gave one of these (the Kyoto one) to my sister-in-law who bikes to work and swims every morning before work, and she finds it perfect - easy to bike with, fits all her swimming stuff and respectable for the workplace.

I love this diaper bag!!!! I have The Kyoto one and use it all the time. It is very durable and has lots and lots of pockets.....great for seperating snacks from medicine! It also has pockets that the little ones can't get into as easily...this comes in handy for hiding a little extra cash or cell phone. The inside wipes out easily if you have spills and the outside looks fashionable but also holds up well!!

Love this diaper bag! It doesn't hold as much as my previous one, but that is actually turning out to be more of a plus than a negative because I can find things a lot easier. My favorite feature is the cell phone holder in the front. My phone fits perfectly and it makes it so easy to grab while on the go. Very comfortable strap and great design. I went to the grocery yesterday and a couple of people commented about how cute my "purse" was. Love that it doesn't look like a diaper bag!

this bag is great. feels right on the shoulder, has lots of pockets and special compartments to stuff things in, holds the million things moms haul around all day, looks classy enough to go with a black dress but cool enough for everyday outfits.I got mine from a French girlfriend , now buy it for my friends when they have a new born. I like to think it helps them feel as i did when i unwrapped my bag : while a practical gift to accommodate my baby's needs, my legendary care for style and femininity had not been overlooked...And i really liked that!

I have this bag in the light blue pattern and always receive so many compliments. I did not purchase it as a diaper bag, so it is very versatile. I carry it as my handbag. It is stylish, yet can hold so much, even snacks, toys or a light change of clothes for my 3 year old. It's very durable, I can't say enough about it! I'm going to purchase another!

I have a Zosephine diaper bag (Kyoto) and I love the bag so much that when my children grew out of diapers I just kept using it as a purse. I've also given many as gifts and the receivers all rave about the bag. Zosephine products are sturdy and stylish at the same time which is how I'd like someone to describe me!

I wanted to love this bag. I loved the simplicity of the design and the size looked perfect from the dimensions given online. I have been searching for a messenger style diaper bag but this one didn't work for me and I'm sharing so maybe it can help someone else who is also in the hunt for the perfect diaper bag.- The strap is cloth and is always getting tangled up and twisted. For such an expensive bag I would expect a nicer strap, but it is just a simple piece of canvas and also the color is deceiving in the Amazon picture. It looks like a creamy white, but it is actually a very light pink, which to me looks like you washed the bag and the red part bled onto it.- The interior is lined with a very stiff, thick vinyl. It is nice b/c you can wipe it out easily and it is white so you can see things, but it gets dirty very easily, shows everything and I already have several scuff marks that won't come off. Also the majority of your bag is taken up by the two cup holders which are on the inside and once you put two bottles, or a sippy cup/bottle in them half your bag is gone. There was barely room for the changing pad, diapers, and wipes. There are three small pockets along the inside, but they are seriously big enough for my small garage opener and they are so narrow and deep that once you put something in there it is seriously wedged in there. There is a divider in this bag and if you put anything in the one side then it really bulks the bag out because you are using space from the other side and because of the fabric and lining there is no give. As for other pockets, there is a cell phone pocket which is nice and in a convenient spot, and then a "paperback" pocket. The paperback pocket is too small for a paperback, but it did fit my wallet and maybe over time it would stretch out to fit a book.Once the pockets are filled, or really even half of the pockets are filled, the bag gets very bulky and the flap will not close all the way.As you can tell I was frustrated by this bag. I wanted to like this bag and it had 5 star reviews from everyone who used it. I was surprised no one had noted any of the things I noticed and so I hope my review helps you. I still gave it to two stars b/c I really like the design, it had a nice key clip, and it could work as a purse for someone.

I ordered this bag in the Minneapolis (orange) color - it is deeper and more "burnt" orange than I expected, which is a huge plus. It looks like a nice messenger bag I'd buy for work, and the floral straps and "window" add a bit of femininity (which is also nice since I live in an area where everyone seems to carry a boring old gender neutral black or tan messenger). However, the organization is a bit lacking. The cell phone pocket on the outside is nice, but you need to open the flap to get to it; it would be nicer if it was on the side or back of the bag. It would also be nice if was a bit roomier and a bit deeper. The zip pocket on the back of the bag would fit a very small book; I wish it was deeper and extended the length of the back of the bag so it could fit larger items. There are two sippy pockets inside, which I love. There are three rather useless tiny pockets inside, which are too small to fit diapers or wipes - I wish instead of three pockets, there were two larger pockets to fit diapers. And there is a large open pocket but it does not close with velcro or snap. There is a zip pocket too, but again, I wish it was larger to fit larger wallets or perhaps a change of clothes. The interior is a cream heavy duty nylon - while I appreciate the lighter color interior, I wish it wasn't quite so light (like tan or periwinkle blue instead) so not every single drop of apple juice might show up. I also wish there were D-rings for attaching to stroller, though it does drape OK off stroller handles. Overall it is a gorgeous bag, just needs bigger pockets overall and a bit more functional organization. I'd give it 4 1/2 stars as a work bag but 3 1/2 as a diaper, which averages out to 4.

I really wanted to love this bag. It fits my style perfectly. However, when I was packing just for the hospital, I couldn't fit anything!! I had put 2 diapers, a wipe case, changing pad, receiving blanket and another blanket (which isn't big by any means) and couldn't even fit in the take home outfits!! I'm looking up how to exchange it and will probably get a SkipHop bag.
