Okay, so I want to get a new bag and I forgot about these awesome bags that I saw a while ago on Etsy that are marketed as diaper bags, but look totally awesome and don't have to be a diaper bag if I'm without DD. (This is my compromise since I'm not quite ready to get rid of the convenience of a diaper bag, but don't want something totally baby!)
Which one should I get??

So hard to choose, they're all really cute! I didn't vote, but I like #1, 3, or #5. The only reason I don't like #2 is because the straps are too long and look a bit flimsy, so I think that will get annoying fast.

I love 1,&4 the most. The stripes seems VERY casual to me. I think the solid colors are more chic.
*eta: I ultimately voted #1 because of the color, shape, straps (short, sturdy) and because it is plain enough yet gorgeous enough.
Look at the scarf on #5, if you move the scarf to #1, it'll dress it up when you need it dressed up. Love it.

Ok I decided on one! I voted for #1, I nixed #3 and 5 because I agree with @TurtleDoves: that it's more casual.
I also nixed #3 because it doesn't have that leather on the bottom that would give it more support, and would add a more detailed design element to it.

Definitely #1. I don't like my accessories to be too stylish (stripes, dots, patterns) because it could potentially clash with my outfit (what if I'm wearing stripes that day?). #1 is the winner for me!

@Mrs. High Heels: @TurtleDoves: @banana: i think #1 is my favorite too, but i worry about it getting dirty quickly? #4 is the same material, but darker/bigger. i think i can get pretty custom, so it is worth doing the darker fabric to show less wear or doing the lighter color in the bigger bag?

2! only because i think it will stay cleaner than 1... i also like the leather on the bottom for extra protection against dirt!

@birdofafeather: either way would be beautiful. I do think bigger is better, but I would personally stick with the lighter fabric, because it does have leather on the bottom and if you take good care of it, it shouldn't get terribly dirty. But, that is easier said than done with a child, obviously.

@birdofafeather: I've been looking at these bags too! I like the ones with a fabric strap only because it would be nice to throw it in the wash. But out of the ones you have here I like #1

I love the 1st one, but the fabric seems like it would get dirty so fast. I love me a cross-body bag, but after getting a Mia Bossi diaper bag cross-body style, the strap was thin, like this one, seemed really impractical once anything was loaded into it.
I voted #3 because of the shape and the print could hide stains and dirt easier, but i you can get it in the fabric of #4, that'd be beautiful!

@birdofafeather: can you find out if she can do #1 with the fabric/color of #4? I like the details of #1 more than #4 (the subtle ruching, the button clasp). #4's design looks more boxy to me.

I like 1, 3, and 4. I've had 3 on my Etsy 
list forever. I voted for 1, but it looks really hard to keep clean.

I just read your actual poll question! As a diaper bag, I'd go with stripes for sure with the leather underneath. So it's #2!
