The woman who inspired this set was someone I glimpsed for just a moment--sitting windowside in a London coffeeshop, her glossy brown hair pulled back in a chignon, sipping from her mug as she looked out at the dreary, rainy day. Her clothing was chic, funky, and made from luxurious fabrics. I was inspired by her style in the face of such gloomy weather, and that, along with the designs in the fabrics of this bag, remind me of her. The colors in this set are simply sublime: cocoa brown, pale peach, sparkling aquamarine, sage green. The inner print is a swirling, stylized floral, and it is perfectly complimented by the thick cotton velvet aquamarine outer. |

SOLD Are you the same mother you were last year? Think of those first flutterings in your belly, or that nerve-wracking plane ride to see your new baby for the first time. Think of those newborn days, when sleep deprivation and true love suspend you in a blissful babymoon. And toddlerhood, with all the new discoveries you and your wee one make together. So much has changed in the time you've been a mother. I believe that our children nurture our motherhood, much like sunlight, water and soil help to grow a garden. This diaper bag set features an inner fabric that is all about the amazing evolution of a mother. Mamas in all stages are portrayed here, from radiant expectancy to doting grandmotherhood. They are set in amongst a garden that is a riot of colors in blues and violets. This bag pairs one of our favorite motherhood prints with our famous buttery-soft cotton velvet in a rich poppy red. Each of the outer pockets features an applique of one of the beautiful mamas from the inner fabric. The combination is hip and funky, and the perfect bright thing in your life for the colder months to come. Note: this bag does not include a changing pad, thus the reduced price. |

SOLD When I think of caramel, I think of its rich, toffee-like flavor. I think of how smooth and rich it tastes. Even the color is complex: a honey-hued brown that is anything but boring. That's the exact color of the cotton velveteen used to make this bag: bronzey caramel brown. The inside of the bag is a complementary vegetable-dyed cotton featuring curvy, leafy vines and leaves. |

SOLD Every woman has a favorite form of chocolate. When I have a dream about chocolate, I eat hand-made Belgian chocolate truffles. And when I picture those truffles, they are the deepest, richest brown in the world. That's the exact color of the cotton velveteen used to make this bag: Belgian truffle brown. The inside of the bag is a vegetable-dyed cotton featuring curvy, leafy vines and leaves. |

SOLD The chill is starting to bring out the bright colors in the trees, and your children's cheeks can get as red as apples after you've chased them in circles around the playground. Autumn has officially arrived. You can blame the tempting, luscious pomegranate, which was Persephone's favorite fruit. When Hades convinced her to eat some of the pomegranate's juicy seeds, he knew that she would remain in the Underworld with him for part of the year. Our Pomegranate Metro Bag features a buttery soft cotton velvet outer, which is almost exactly the color of pomegranates. The inside of the bag is a hand-dyed batik fabric that mimics the jewel-like luster of pomegranate seeds. This bag will take you through autumn, the long winter, and into the spring, when Persephone returns to her mother, Demeter, and the sun returns to the earth. |
