If you’re looking for a practical carryall that lugs all your baby essentials but carries itself like an It bag, the answer is a designer diaper bag. Name brand diaper bags may not be cheap (though many are more affordable than you might imagine), but they’re an investment, one that may actually pay for itself when you consider how much daily use you’ll get out of it. Plus, name brand diaper bags are typically built to last, featuring quality craftsmanship and higher-end materials. We’ve rounded up some of the best designer diaper bags out there—and where you can find them for less.

How to find designer diaper bags for cheap
The best designer diaper bags make a fashion statement without sacrificing practical features, such as changing mats, bottle insulators and roomy compartments.
Dagne Dover diaper bag
When it comes to the best designer diaper backpacks, this one is a standout—and a personal favorite of The Bump editors. The unisex bag has the appearance of an on-trend backpack anyone would want to wear, but it has the functionality of a must-have baby bag. The interior is huge and with plenty of pockets, including a laptop sleeve and an easy-access wipe compartment. The neoprene fabric makes it lightweight, water-resistant and easy to wash. It can even be clipped onto a stroller or slid over suitcase handles for no-fuss travel.

Kate Spade diaper bag
This name brand diaper bag is impossibly chic, but it’s also super-practical, thanks to the top-zip closure, roomy interior, six side pockets and a wipeable changing pad, making it the perfect companion for the fashionable new mom.

Burberry diaper backpack
Like all the best designer diaper bags, this Burberry backpack is a baby bag in disguise: The black nylon and leather trim exterior is stylish and subdued enough to pass for simply a trendy bag, but pop it open and you’re greeted with six interior pockets, a removable changing pad and plenty of space for baby’s essentials.
