Fat Mumma's Nappy Bag Redesign

Today I closed down the nappy bag buying page as we have now officially launched our new nappy bag design. It's going great guns and we hope to have photos and information online by the end of March.

It's been a bit quiet here at the blog over Christmas and January as of course Australia tends to close down for those months... but we have the redesigned nappy bag to show for it as well as the skeleton makings of a new website. We are hoping to make the site easier to update with our latest fabrics.. so keep your eyes peeled!

As we don't have photos of our new bags yet, it is possible to see one at the Esplanade Market on any Sunday of the year.. baring gale force winds and torrential rain! We are there between 10am and 4.30pm.. so come say hello :)

Love and Peace.

Free Nappy Bag

Did you know we have this great offer where you get a free quilted nappy bag with every vinyl nappy bag you buy? I know, you may say, "Why do I need two nappy bags?" Well let me give you a list of why:

1. Because this is a backpack, so when you are travelling it's really handy.
2. It's unisex and stylish for dad, so that you don't have to make him wear the floral pattern.
3. It's really, really, lightweight, so is great for wearing across the body.
4. You may need to ride your bike with bub, so you can wear this on your back.
5. It's handy for giving to grandma and grandad so they have a spare bag when they are babysitting!

I could go on, but you get the drift :) Basically, it's two nappy bags for the price of one AND you can buy the accessories to match!

Love and Peace

I've now got two videos up online about our bags. One shows the nappy bag in more detail, and

Messenger Bag Style - Nappy Bag Use...

Well thank god school holidays are over. I feel I can finally start thinking again. As much as I love the peace again, it was a fun Easter holidays! There was plenty of creative fun to be had, and we even got down and got dirty with the fabric paint! Here is a great t-shirt dress that my youngest and I put together! She did such a great job! If you want instructions on how to make one, just email me and I'll send you the instructions! I can even sell you a plain t-shirt for a cheap price (although I don't have many plain ones left!).

I also got more photos to put up on the website, as soon as I get chance! These messenger style nappy bags have been a popular seller lately!

The beauty of all of our Fat Mumma's bags are that they are versatile. They are all designed with the idea that they you can use them as a beautiful handbag OR as a nappy bag. All the bags have a large zip pocket on the back, which is perfect for storing all a parents needs when it comes to nappy bags.

These Messenger style bags have a studded flap, a large zip pocket inside, as well as a phone pocket. They also have an adjustable strap, and as mentioned above, that beautiful big zip pocket on the back!!!

The bags you see here are made up and raring to go and you can choose any of the fabrics on the website. The RRP is $110.00, with postage and packaging included :) If you're after one, please email me, as I'm a slow coach at getting them up on the online shop!

Peace and Love

More made up bags!!!

I finally managed to get the light box set up the other day and have taken a few more product shots of our hand bags which are due to put on the website for sale in the next few days. Here's a sneak preview before they go up.

Just a little teaser of our day bags, and two of our zip-up shoulder bags. I'll also be putting us a couple of our messenger bags as well as some new backpack designs :)

I've also been coming up with some screen ideas, which I will make you privvy to very soon.

In the meantime, the special offer for this week is:

Nappy Bag Price Slash!!!

We have decided to slash the price of our vinyl nappy bags by a massive $26.00, which means you can now snap one up for ONLY $150.00!!!

You may ask why we've decided to do it???? Well, we are no longer wholesaling this product, which means we can offer it to our customers directly for a price that is much more competitive with the low-quality, cheap, imported goods we all love to hate, but can't afford to live without! So, please help keep Australian manufacturing up and running and spread the word that Fat Mumma's nappy bags are now only $150.00!!!!

Love and Peace

Tips for buying a nappy bag

At Fat Mumma's we find we sell more nappy bags to second or third time parents than to the new mum. I think this is because we have designed the bag we would have loved to have seen on the market when we were expecting. I know that there are a lot of things to consider with regards to personal needs, but here are a few tips I suggest you look out for when looking for a nappy bag:

1. Will you be using cloth nappies and if so, is there an area you can carry dirty nappies around?
2. Is there a pocket to place wipes that can be easy to access with one hand?
3. Is there somewhere to place creams and other possible messy items so they don't end up crushed in the bottom of the bag.
4. Is there a pocket or area for you to easily access your own water bottle (particularly necessary for the breast feeding mother).
5. Is it light-weight - they get very heavy once they are full of baby gear.
6. Does the design appeal to both genders (like our bags being able to reverse so a man doesn't have to walk around with a flowery design nappy bag on mums days off!).
7. Will it last for more than one child, or can it be used for other things once you've grown out of the nappy stage? (my daughter now uses my nappy bag as a sleepover bag!).
8. Does it fit your pram properly (with adjustable strap that fits any size pram)?
9. Do you need to use it as a backpack at any point?
10. Is it easy to clean?

I realise this list is not exhaustive, there are many more things you could consider, but these are the ones that I wish I had been privvy to think about when looking for a bag!

Love and Peace
