timi & leslie created its first fashionable diaper bag in 2000 out of necessity, when Founder & Chief Creative Officer Leslie Newton required a gift for a baby shower and decided to create her own. She had been designing for the theatre troop she belonged to for many years and found that “retro” anything in fabrics, was her thing. Soon thereafter she began designing diaper bags that are as fashionable and functional as handbags for ladies as they are a changing catch-all for baby essentials.
The brand’s new Coco Lapin Canvas Collection includes a stylish selection of 2-in-1 Backpacks, Messenger Bags and The Dual Bags. All are sized right for baby essentials and include change pads and a variety of removable strap options. Water-resistant poly-canvas fabrics include modern geometric and floral-inspired durable prints in trend-on color combinations, including Mackenzie, Felicity, Sahara, Aiko and Farah prints. MSRP range is $69.
Another new fashion-forward tote collection includes designs made from faux leather (PVC free) that feature custom hardware in a distinctive gold finish. The roomy bags are made for organization and include all the most popular mom-requested features, including six interior pockets, detachable/adjustable shoulder strap, key fob, pouchette with credit card slots and zipper pocket, changing pad with wipes pocket, stroller straps and insulated bottle holder with clip-on handle. Colors include taupe, cloud blue, raspberry and black that definitely do not look like a changing bag, but rather a quality designer handbag for ladies — designed for years of versatile usage way beyond the baby years. timi & leslie makes these a woman’s go-to fashion accessory for the office, errands and every occasion in between. No baby required!
