Bumble Bags Madeline Messenger Backpack Pink Pucci

Just received my "pucci" madeline diaper bag today... the bag is beautiful and the pattern is exactly as pictured, in fact, even prettier than it looked on the screen.

BUT... once I looked inside I realized it was not very functional. Inside there is a large pocket on one side and a zippered pocket on the other side. Plus two elastic loops in the corner edges to hold bottles. But no mesh pockets for easy organization. I think they could have spent a little bit of money and put in more compartments and some mesh pockets so small items stay put.

On the outside there is a large pocket on the front and one in the back. Both of these are rendered almost useless because they do not close. Even a simple velcro closure would have been better than nothing, but as it stands now, if you put something in those pockets it will fall out very easily. IMHO it's only good for holding scrap paper.

One feature I do like is the hidden straps that you can bring out to attach the bag to your stroller.

Overall opinion: I wish I had paid the extra money and bought the Ju-Ju-Be "Packabe" bag instead -that product seems to be much more well thought out.

I recieved my madeline about a month ago and I really love it. When I first received it I instantly fell in love with the beautiful fabric. It has an almost suede texture which at first worried me that it might attract dirt, but just like the website says the bag came perfectly clean with a little spot cleaning. I was surprised that the bag didn't have very much organization, besides the four main pockets, but have found that using a few pouches works great and don't mind not having mesh pockets on the inside. I think that the Madeline works great for light packing and it is a bag that I always am getting compliments on everytime I use it!
