Roadtest: Vanchi Nappy Bag

Published: Nov 25, 2014 · Modified: Aug 24, 2015 by Sara · This post may contain affiliate links · 41 Comments

DSC_0877 When I had my baby my very lovely big sister handed down a lot of very useful items that she no longer needed, it was fantastic as we saved so much money. Within all of these items was a nappy bag. It was red with white polka dots and made of plastic. It 'did the job' but it drove me nuts as there was no order to it. You just opened it up and there was one big section where everything was thrown inside. It was bulky and annoying to carry. I used it when bub was a newborn but then I could never be bothered to take it with me unless I was going on a day trip. In my lounge room I had four different bags for different occasions. I was constantly swapping between them but then when I was out and I needed something for my baby I never had what I needed! You will probably guess how excited I was when I was asked to road test the Indie Holdall by Vanchi.

 

DSC_0872 The Indie Holdall by Vanchi is made from nu Leather which is a man made, animal free product, which is also earth friendly. I received a caramel colour but it is also available in tan. As all good nappy bags do it comes with free extras! A snack container (mine is currently filled with rice cakes), an insulated bottle holder, a portable change mat (light weight and a great size) and a plastic zip lock bag that is fantastic for dirty bibs and soiled clothes. The first thing I did when I received the nappy bag was take everything out of my four bags and put it all into the Indie Holdall. Inside there are four elasticised pockets. I put spare clothing in one, nappies and wipes in the other, emergency food pouches and a bottle and formula. This is great as they are all very easily accessible without having to rummage through the middle of the bag.

Inside the bag there is a detachable pocket in which I can keep my bits and pieces such as wallet, lip gloss and sunglasses. There are also plenty of zippered pockets around the outside of your bag for quick access to your mobile phone and keys. I had my bag packed and looking beautiful. I then decided to pull out my travel formula holder to put a name sticker on it. Big mistake. The lid wasn't on properly and I spilled sticky powdered formula ALL THROUGH MY NEW BAG! I freaked out. I took it outside and one by one pulled everything out and shook the formula on to the grass. I then got my baby wipes out and used them to wipe out the inside of the bag. Lucky for me it is made of water resistant material and it came off without any issues. I have been using it for a couple of weeks now and no sticky residue has remained inside the bag... thumbs up Vanchi!!

Head over to the website to check out their range http://www.vanchi.com.au/ and fall in love like I did.

    Have a very 'baby looking' nappy bag for two toddlers, which because of it's looks, I keep hidden and end up taking my handbag aswell! Would make life much easier to take the one bag, which is more 'grown up' looking and know I have everything in the one place!

    As I'm currently pregnant with my 2nd child, everything that I will use will be 2nd hand, from Bub number 1. This beautiful Vanchi Nappy bag would be a little luxury for baby & me!

    Just when I thought I was out of the nappy bag stage I have surprise baby #4 on the way and now nappy-bag less !! I love that this one doesn't look like a nappy bag, and has so many 'extras' that are stylish and gender neutral. I'd love to win this, it is just beautiful !

    I would love to win one of these - not for me, but for my bestie, who is due to have her first in March next year. She has always been one of the most supportive people in my life, and is an amazing auntie and godmother to my son, so being able to give her something this nice would be amazing.

    I need this bag! It looks amazing and the one thing I have never had is a real nappy bag. I've always juggled with regular bags or a combination of bags and with 2 kids in nappies its a nightmare.

    Definitely would come in handy for not only nappy but everything my daughter could possibly need on a day out. Right now the bag I have is the black hole of Calcutta and it is impossible to find anything I need when I need it. I basically have to take everything out to find what I need. It drives me insane!!!! I really need this bag. It would save my sanity!!! Help!!!!
