yes-we are planning solid colors with just a little juju bling...what else would you expect from us ???

and yes a small compact would fit.

no checkbook or sunglasses...we figure if you carry those-they'll have to go in the diaper bag for this round...

we can work on a larger version---but I"m sort of confused on how it should go--if you are carrying it IN your diaper bag you don't want it too bulky (like a mini be small, smart or packabe-might be too bulky)

or do you really just want a PURSE--that gets carried ALONG with the diaper bag....

let me know thoughts on all fronts
Thanks!
Kristin

I agree that it should be small. I do want to carry it in my diaper bag. I like the idea of being able to move it from diaper bag to diaper bag without having to change everything out. I think it's perfect. But a small be smart wouldn't be so bad either. Maybe later.

Hi Kristin,

The new wallet sounds fab and now I know what fits into it - I think it will be perfect for my needs and I want one!

For the other slightly bigger purse, I probably wouldn't want to put it in the diaper bag, but more to either go along with the diaper bag, or just carry independantly for quick errands with or without the kids. So I guess I was hoping for more of a small purse, bigger then a wallet, smaller then the be small but with a more sophisticated and plain Mommy look for when the babies are left at home with Daddy or when i'm out on my own - not often I know but does happen occassionally!

The thing is, you guys make diaper bags so well that although it's probably weird for you to venture out of this area, I can only imagine that you'll do an equally fantastic job of making mommy purses. You manage to get such good organisation into your products, on top of the fun features that make you unique that I really think they could work out well for you.

A wristlet/ built-in wallet sounds awesome. It would be great if it had card slots, cash area, zippered coin area, and could hold a cell phone, lip balm, pen and your awesome key fob (how about being the first to have a Bluetooth pocket? Wishful thinking, I know).

The wristlet strap would be great if it could detach/attach on a stroller handle. Definitely big enough to hold small items, but small enough to throw in the diaper bag.

I really want one to match Lush Paisley!!

you are scaring me girl--you have almost described it to a TEEEEEEE

yipes!


I think you will LOVE it

I would like a purse to be carried along with the diaper bag.
A cool option could be like the lesportsac kiki, where you can wear it as a shoulder bag or loop it around your waist.

I really do wear mine on my wrist - I work in a city and use mine when I run errands and grab lunch. I would want my cash, credit cards, coins, maybe a cell phone, and that would be it.

Hi Kristen and Joe,

Gosh, I have only had my bag for less than 24 hours and I am already hooked on your product and website....not good for my purse obsession!

Anyway, a couple of names came to me during a 3 o'clock feeding for the wristlet/mommy bag.

Be Chic
Be-ssentials - bag for your essential (credit cards, cash, phone, lipstick)

and

Be-youtiful - a bag for You, mom

Hope that helps. Thanks for your personal responses to the forum comments. I think that is fabulous customer service!

thanks so much for the name ideas!

ya know-I do my best thinking in the middle of the night when I can't sleep as well...well I guess in your case you probably CAN sleep - your little one isn't letting you i remember those days WELL!!!!!!!!

time for another??? I don't think so yet hee hee

keep thinking and get some sleep!
thanks!
Kristin

I am so excited to see the new wallet/"mini bag". I think that the small version is definatly more what I need. I definatly want something that will fit well into my packabe and be small without taking up tons of room. I think a wallet that will hold all of your usual things and then an extra pocket maybe for a cell phone or other odds and ends would be great. As for the colors of the new wallet/mini bag I am open to either the same patterns as the bags (this is where I am the odd one because I use my bags everday, in perky perennials, and don't even have a baby yet), I love the bright, fun colors or coordinating ones (I know that most of the women would like something in neutral colors, but again I am the one who would like hopefully atleast one of the choices to be pink or orange ) I can't wait to see the new things coming out for the holidays (hopefully really soon )!
