Remember those bulky, unsightly diaper bags our moms used to carry? Well, designers have heard your prayers and answered them with a new wave of bags that have all the function of a traditional bag without sacrificing the fashion.
The latest trend is the “disguised” diaper bag, which blends in to look like a normal handbag or purse.
