Babies need a lot of stuff. Stuff that you'll have to carry with you wherever you go with your child. Finding a stylish bag to put all that stuff in can be difficult.
The co-founder of Maison Hēroïne, Sina Jurina, had her first child, Clara, in 2018. After the birth of her daughter, Sina recognized that too often functional purses for moms were too bulky and ugly. After struggling to find a stylish bag that could fit a lot of baby necessities, she decided that you shouldn't have to sacrifice style to carry a mom purse. She made sure that some of the bags created by Maison Hēroïne would be chic and mom-friendly.
Sina advises that if you are looking for a mom purse, there are a few things to consider first:
Size - Yes, you'll have a lot to carry with a baby in tow, but you won't want a bag that adds too much extra weight or one that will get in the way of caring for your child. But you'll need one that can fit all your baby essentials. Before buying a baby bag decide what you will be carrying for your child and choose a bag accordingly.
Interior - Pockets and separate compartments are a godsend! Dividing what you put in the bag will help you when you need to find something quickly, for example when your child is crying for a toy, pacifier, bottle etc.
Color - White bags are not recommended because no matter what you do, your purse will get dirty. The best colors are black, grey, navy, berry and brown.
Material - You'll need a bag that is strong and that can be easily cleaned. All Maison Hēroïne's baby bags for moms are made from high quality durable leather which can be wiped clean.
Straps - Usually, your hands are full, so you'll need a bag that can be carried over your shoulder or across your body. All our mum bags come with long handles or detachable straps.
Finding a stylish bag that fits all of the requirements for a mom purse can be difficult. This is where Maison Hēroïne can help, we've designed six bags which are suitable to be used as a mom purse.
