I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about Mia Bossi bags - ultra stylish diaper bags that are all the rave with celebrity mommas. When the Mia Bossi Maria in Tangerine arrived, it was like being face to face with a celebrity; I was a bit starstruck. Well, does it it live up to its reputation? I’d say it does.

First off, this is a large bag. I’m not the type who enjoys lugging around really big diaper bags. I’m a minimalist when it comes to things like this and believe that it’s not the end of the world if I don’t have Pooky’s nursery with me at all times. However, although it’s definitely not a small bag, Maria has a sleek, stylish design that doesn’t make it look huge when you’re carrying it; it just looks like a great looking bag.

You can fit a LOT in this bag. There was still room for more even after I stuffed it full of everything I could think of wanting to have on me for a day trip. It also makes wonderful use of the large interior space. There are organizational pockets all along the sides of the interior. There are also two generously sized bottle pockets on the outside. I’m really into pockets, so I was delighted to see this.

Is it worth the larger price tag? Well, you can definitely tell why it’s more expensive than the usual diaper bag. It’s extremely well made with high quality leather and fabrics, and it looks and feels like an expensive bag. The best part is that it’s a diaper bag in disguise. This bag can be used well beyond the baby years. Maria is available in several different colors and fabric options. Price: $340 at Mia Bossi.
