Mamas and papas Ellis shoulder bag

Since having Alfie I'm obsessed with changing bags, I know what your thinking- Not another changing bag post but yep it is.. Sorry!!

I spotted this gorgeous stripe bag in mamas and papas and knew I needed to add it to my ever growing changing bag collection.
 
 

The bag is spacious and brilliant quality as you would expect from mamas and papas. It feels strong and you could fill it up so much and it would still take all the weight. You have the main pocket fastened using a zip with a couple of storage pockets for nappies and wipes. Also one insulated bottle holder too. 

There is lots of room for other bits and pieces you may need when out and about with your little ones. Some bags can look massive but this one doesn't look big, as soon as you start putting stuff in you realise it's very spacious. 

Also included is a changing mat in the same design as the bag. 

There are two pockets on the front and back which blend in with the bag, I use these pockets for dummies, my phone and any other little pieces we end up with on our journeys. 

The strap is adjustable meaning you can wear it on you or put it over the pram handles. I prefer to walk around with the bag on my pram but I know some people prefer them on them and this is perfect both ways. The strap wouldn't be uncomfortable for short periods but there isn't a shoulder pad so I would say if you wore it all day it may start digging into you and become uncomfortable to wear. 

The best feature of the bag is that it doesn't look like a changing bag. Some mums prefer a bag that doesn't look like a big bag with so much baby stuff crammed it, it's so stylish. 

The Ellis shoulder bag comes in a range of designs and colours perfect for any mum and baby. 

Definitely my favourite changing bag I own to date. 



Mamas and Papas do a fantastic selection of stylish changing bags, which you can browse here.
