we love our haiku
bag and so we share its fab
properties with you
Okay, that may well be the first haiku we’ve written since high school and, as you can tell, we’re more than a little rusty, but how could we not launch our paean of praise about our Haiku bag without an actual haiku?
As our kids got older the appeal of hauling around a roomy diaper bag paled, but we still needed something we could stuff with a few kidlet necessities as well as our regular purse contents. Haiku’s to go bag made the cut because it’s designed to be functional enough to carry a change of diapers, spare undies and a bottle or two along with your other everyday needs, while still being compact enough to sling over your shoulder without dragging you down. And while functional is great, Haiku’s attention to detail and style means their bags in no way scream ‘diaper bag’, so they can easily double as your purse when you’re out and about sans enfants, which means less shuffling around of stuff.
Made out of washable, faux-leather pebbled suede and moisture-resistant cordua nylon, Haiku’s to go bags easily stand up to toddler wear and tear. In fact the first place to show how much use your bag is getting is the adjustable strap – always a bright green no matter what the style – which shows the dirt more than the rest of the bag.
And if you’re earlier in the parenthood game than we are, Haiku’s ultimate messenger bag makes a great diaper bag. You can even get it with a change mat. Large enough to fit a 15″ laptop, it’s also got all the bits and bobs you need to carry diapers, wipes, bottles, snacks, changes of clothes, blankies, bibs, toys, books, sunscreen, sun hats, umbrellas, reusable bags…all the day to day accoutrements of parenthood.
Our research shows that they’re only available locally at Beanspouts on Main Street.
