If you’ve read one of my diaper bag reviews before, you know that I never had one. I just used a backpack.  I could not justify the extra expense nor find one that I liked.  There just weren’t many options available locally.

Diaper bags don’t have to be boring and ugly.

Fashionable and functional. Aren’t you smart!

The Ginika Tote: Not too big. Not too small. It’s juuust right. Exactly how mama bear likes it.

What makes this bag eco-friendly are the PEVA lined bottle pockets, but for me, I think that is a stretch. I am glad it is not made of toxic PVC, but the entire bag fabric is not all natural, and it does smell when brand new. I always trust my nose for deciding if something is natural and eco-friendly. Out-gassing is usually a sign that something is amiss. I’m sure the smell will go away in time.  Just plan to air yours out if you buy one.

This a great bag for functionality. There’s a place for everything, and you won’t look like a dork wearing it.
