Ramalama–style from Down Under
February 28th, 2008
Okay, I’ve totally got a thing for diaper bags (news to our Daily Dish readers, I know). I’m tempted by stylish diaper bags about as often as a great pair of shoes, so when I find one our readers may not know about I can’t wait to share, especially if they’re made of super soft, luxurious leather.
Ramalama, a company based in Australia, offers “nappy” bags that are so sleek, so stylish you wouldn’t even know these chic bags were designed to carry diapers, wipes, sippy cups, and the occasional escaped goldfish cracker. This is the type of bag you can use even when your little one is all grown up, and I can’t say that about too many diaper bags. All Ramalama diaper bags come with a machine-washable changing pad and several internal pockets, including a zippered pocket for your valuables, and a key clip. My favorite style is the Hannah (in chocolate of course…) but Ava and Drew are popular as well. If you like a slouch style bag, then you’ll love the Drew (and it’s extra yummy in caramel)! Plus Hannah’s and Ava’s external pockets are perfect for sippy cups, bottles and items you need to get to quickly before the tantrum starts!
I was sent Ramalama’s Betty, an awesome little clutch with enough room for a couple diapers, wipes case, and the included change mat. Sadly this Italian leather mini bag is being discontinued but you can probably find one somewhere in cyberspace. The Betty was enough of a taste of Ramalama to give me a serious craving for the Ava! Some celebs have actually satisfied their Ramalama craving: owners of Ramalama include Mariska Hagirty, Naomi Watts and Salma Hayek!
Fortunately you don’t have to travel to Australia to purchase your favorite Ramalama bag; you can visit their Stockists page for a list of online and offline boutiques that carry Ramalama. Then again, if you’d like a reason to travel Down Under, I think the purchase of a Ramalama “nappy” bag is a pretty good one! –Emily
