I love bags, purses, pocket books, diaper bags, mommy bags… Whether it’s a cute, funky bag from a mass retailer or a special, more luxurious leather bag, I’m always on the look out for the right bag. Since I’ve been married and have had children, I’ve struggled feeding my bag passion obsession with the overwhelming guilt of spending the money on myself. I just can’t do it. I’ll admit that I look and I covet when I see a swanky, slick bag passing by and I’ll also admit that when I use one of the few luxurious bags I do have, I feel every bit the swanky, slick lady I’d like to be, on occasion.
I’m very lucky to have a husband and a great friend who have gifted me with two fabulously, wonderful Coach leather bags. These are the bags that I can fill with diapers, wipes, and tissues but still feel and look fabulous. They are strong enough to contain my ‘mommy-ness’ but with a style and design that don’t leave me feeling ‘BLAH.’ Because I can’t indulge myself frequently, I like to know that the bags I do have are of such a high quality and a classic style that won’t fade or wear on me. This is where Coach excels.
I have been lucky enough to be walking around with a bag from the new Bonnie collection from Coach. My Bonnie Foldover Crossbody is everything I could want from a bag at this stage in my life. It fits a few diapers. It fits my son’s Epi-Pens. It fits some wipes….and I look good doing so. 
The shoulder strap crosses over my body so the bag stays out of my way but close by for a quick retrieval of my cell phone or keys. Can you guess? I LOVE my Bonnie Foldover Crossbody. The quality is at such a high level, I know that it will make it through to the next stage in my life…no diapers, no wipes! Now I know many of us moms are in the same predicament. Money’s tight and if we’re going to spend the money on something for ourselves, it better be worth it. The great thing about the Bonnie Collection from Coach is that there are bags in a more affordable range and they are of an endless style.
Take a look at the Bonnie Collection here. Remember that Mother’s Day is just a few weeks away. Put a timeless classic on your list or purchase one for the timeless, classic mother in your life.

I saw that bag in the front of a Coach store last week — it’s even nicer in person!
