So I’m a bit of a bag snob (not so proud to say). My taste leans toward the Proenza Schouler PS1 and Bottega Veneta variety. If you had told me five years ago that I’d be toting around a Vera Bradley bag… I would have rolled my eyes or giggled in disbelief. But OH how the mighty (and snobby) have fallen… for this bag! It’s not that I’m a huge fan of the paisley and flower prints (I’m really not)… but the bag serves it purpose, especially with a kiddo on board. I was reminded of this again while traveling with my toddler this past week. VB totes have so many accessible pockets for sippies, wipes, diapers, snacks, small toys, etc., and the center is deep enough for a blanket, books, your wallet, phone, ipad and more, that the structure far outweighs what it might lack in my preferred style. The soft cloth also allows the bag to be pushed under that oh-so-small seat space in front of you, and the straps don’t hurt your shoulders even though the tote is filled to the brim!
So fly your “mom flag” loud and proud with a bag that only a mother could love… but P.S. … keep the PS1 close by when Mama wants to feel extra fly ;).

I can dig on this black and white graphic pattern and the contrast banding makes a modern statement too.
