Love it, but expensive

I received this Petunia Pickle Bottom bag from a friend right before my daughter, Sydney, was born. I immediately thought it was a super cute bag, girly but not overwhelming. My husband even said that he wouldn't mind carrying it around (which he has done on several occasions). I get a lot of compliments on this diaper bag from other moms, which makes me feel great!

The Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Bag is pretty thin, considering how much I can stuff in it (I usually carry 5-10 diapers, wipes, 2 outfits, snacks, sippy cup, and a few toys). It comes with extra straps to make it a backpack (comes in handy at the zoo or park). It does have the messenger strap which fits over most stroller handles. It has 3 pockets inside (one is zippered and detachable) and 2 pockets outside (great for holding cups). It has a zippered outer pocket (has 2 pockets for diapers and wipes) and a detachable changing pad. The PPB website shows the many beautiful fabric choices. It is a very thick, sturdy bag and will sit upright with no trouble (which is nice to know if you carry cups / bottles).

The only problem I have is that it can be a pretty expensive item unless you're willing to look around and wait for a good deal. Sometimes, they can be found at TJMaxx and Ross at a discounted price, but you can also find them online at places like Ebay or [...].
Impractical, difficult to clean, becomes tattered and used-looking very QUICK. Perfect if using once a week or once a month.

I love diaper bags. Do not get me wrong. This particular company, however, seems to make the most impractical bags in existence. I rec'd one as a gift and regret not having just re-sold it on craiglist for $$$.
Here is my list:

Positives
* Very Trendy and popular
* High end, fancy
* Pretty styles when you first look at them
* Changing pad is nice

Negatives
- Difficult if not impossible to clean. It's like drapery material. Heaven forbid it gets poo on it.
- Heavy even when empty
- Fabric gets tattered quickly
- Fabric gets snagged on EVERYTHING, hence the tattering
- Fabric and bag do not hold its shape over time.
- Bag ends up looking like some raggedy ol' thing very quickly- so why would I buy this for almost $200?

Great to have if you are looking to be the trendy mommy in the 'hood, but overall... an awful choice when it comes to practicality.
