 My Diaper Bag This is my affiliate* link to the exact bag I have.
I got my bag on Amazon! It is the Leather Diaper Bag Backpack by Miss Fong. It also comes in different colors like olive, black, blush, navy, red, and gray. It is very similar to the Fawn Design diaper bag, but the inside has mesh pockets instead of leather, which I like because it is more flexible and lightweight!
