My brother has been taking care of his four kids for more than a decade; but he was rare for a Dad at that time. Today, men are seen everywhere with their kids, carrying messenger style diaper bags slung across their backs with many a baby and stroller in tow. The media have been spotlighting famous Dads like Brad Pitt, now father of six, Seal, husband of the lovely Heidi Klum, and gorgeous Hugh Jackman oft seen cavorting with his adorable adopted Ava, all of whom carry messenger bags. There are as many styles as there are Dads, so let’s take a look at a few that would make fabulous Father’s Day gifts.
Storksak Messenger Bags
Storksak carries the most famous baby bag for Dad now known as the Brad Pitt Diaper Bag. Storksak’s Jamie is worn by Brad in Black, and also comes in Espresso. The luxuriously supple pebbled all leather bag is sleek and adaptable to any situation this famous Dad may find himself in: on set, in the board room, or as a producer. No one will even be suspect he is carrying a baby bag unless he leaves baby’s bottle hanging out of the exterior thermally insulated bottle pocket. This bag is designed to help keep Dad organized and has a pen holder, cell holder, key clip, separated pockets for baby’s things and a washable changing mat for the inevitable.
OiOi Messenger Bags
OiOi is the most popular Australian nappy sack designer. You can imagine that Hugh has browsed a few of their diaper bags in local boutiques especially the Brown Messenger with either blue or pink trim and the Ink Cargo Drill. Made from a light weight easy to clean microfiber, it has everything a Dad like Hugh would need, large padded changing mat, internal pockets for nappies, wipes, and other baby essentials, a removable insulated bottle holder, a must for long sessions on set, outer pockets for his wallet, cell, snacks, PDA, plus two exterior insulated pockets for drinks, hot or cold, baby or his own.
Ramalama Messenger Bags
We chose Ramalama’s sleek Stevie in ultra soft Chocolate Italian leather as the fitting diaper bag for Seal. Modern, subtle, and strong, the leather strap is fully adjustable for Daddy’s comfort. Adaptable for work and play, Daddy is fully equipped with 2 perfect bottle pockets, 6 interior pockets organizing all of Baby’s needs and even includes a clip so that baby’s pacifier does not stray, and a changing mat. Ramalama cleverly designed the messenger flap so that the exterior pocket holding his cell, keys, or wallet is easily accessed and not lost amongst the baby things.
Cricket and Monkey Messenger Bags
Cricket and Monkey have some of the most playful and creative diaper bags on the market. Their Skulls and Roses Logan would be perfect for a Johnny Depp Dad who has close relations to Captain Jack Sparrow and the rest of the pirate crew. Made from canvas and easy to clean PVC, this designer thought of everything, including two exterior bottle pockets for baby and two exterior cell and wallet pockets for Dad.
