Never buy this brand!!!

For Valentine's day this last year Tim bought me a Timi and Leslie diaper bag... some of you may be thinking diaper bag???!!! But I found one that was super cute, functional, and basically exactly what I was looking for because we were expecting baby #2 in a few months and I needed one that would be able to hold a little more, but was still stylish. Well here it is- Yes I've gotten lots of compliments on it and I USED to love it- tomorrow it's going into the trash... These are some of the pieces that have fallen off of it- nice huh?!!
Well I'm about to start my list of grievances with this bag and company overall.

First, about a month after we purchased the bag, the leather pieces that pull the zipper across the top pulled off. I went back to the retailer that I purchased it from, left my contact info, and never received a call back or anything- NOTHING AT ALL!!! Well I could still pull the zipper back and forth so that didn't bother me as much.
Next, the liner started to come apart from the bag. Now isn't that the best mix of trashy and sophisticated that you've ever seen?!! This part really ticked me off.Then came the buckle on the front that fell off for who knows what reason besides it's an absolute pile. That piece has the magnetic part that keeps that flap shut, which, when it was still on, was great for keeping my 2 year old out of that pocket. Next, yes there's a next on this list unfortunately, came the metal loop that hold one of the ends for the shoulder strap... fabulous as the shoulder was my main way of using the diaper bag since I have a 5 month old and a 2 year old and my hands are usually busy holding one of them or both of them. In fact that was one of my main criteria for a new diaper bag was that I had to be able to throw it over my shoulders... And finally, the big kaboom the zipper just came off yesterday... another big fa-bu-lous was muttered. In conclusion, I'm so freakin sick of this darn bag and this company in general... You see that price tag?!!!! No I didn't quite pay that- I got a 25% discount, but even that was absolutely ridiculous! My husband was just trying to spoil his moody, pregnant wife by buying me something pretty and all it does is break on him. I thought by buying a quality brand that it would last oh, say longer than a few months?!! But Nooooo.... we were very wrong there. So I'm off to good ol wally world to buy one for a fraction of the price that will probably last a whole lot longer than this one did.

Oh dang, that sucks. When you left it with your girls over here a few weeks ago I totally thought it was cute too. So i've only had our diaper bag since July, but i have LOVED it. Its a Skip Hop Messenger bag. Probably too small for two kids but I am loving it for just Norah. You should check out skip hop, it was about 70 bucks but great material and functionality.
