BabyBeau Sophia Croc Changing Bag

I adore BabyBeau changing bags. They’re the ultimate mother’s accessory, transforming what could be a dull purchase into something chic, sophisticated and classic. The beauty of Babybeau bags lies in their aesthetics. Their stylish designs and high quality materials mean they look more designer bag than changing bag, which is ideal for all fashionista mamas. I’ve loved, adored and used my Ellie changing bag almost daily since Henry was born, but now that the stunning Sophia has arrived, it will be taking pride of place on my Bugaboo for Autumn/Winter. The sleek black croc-effect leather is soft and supple to the touch, the design is both stylish and practical, and the gold hardware is the perfect pairing for the black leather. The classic colour combo means it will go with any outfit during the cooler months.

The Sophia is spacious and contains a multitude of pockets, allowing plenty of space to accommodate all the baby essentials. The compartments mean everything has its place – no need to rummage through an endless pit of bibs and bottles and binkies, I know where each item is kept and can easily access it. The detachable zip pocket pouch is the ideal place for all my belongings – my keys, iPhone and money are all securely kept here.

Whilst I usually hang the Sophia from the Bugaboo, on the occasions I need to carry the Sophia, I make use of the adjustable shoulder strap, which is thankfully wide enough to make the huge amount of baby paraphernalia I lug about (all this, plus more) comfortable to carry across the body. The leatherette monochrome striped changing mat and bottle holder look stunning and make nappy changes and feeding time on-the-go that little bit more glamorous.

The Sophia has a few more features than the Ellie. I was pleased to find that there are three extra external pockets (more space is always a bonus when it comes to baby), and a main external zip for extra security. One of the best features of the Babybeau bags is that the organiser is removable, which allows the inside to be used as an extra bag – whether it’s for nursery, a stay at grandma’s, or for extra space for a weekend trip away. And once the baby days are over, removing the organiser transforms the changing bag into a luxury handbag for mum.
