Designer diaper bags are made and manufactured by big name companies and usually carry the designers name somewhere on the bag, sometimes all over the bag, depending on the designer. A designer is the one who comes up with the ideas for the diaper bags and then gives the design to the factory to make them.

Designer diaper bags are usually more expensive because you are paying for a name brand recognition, however, sometimes the quality is much better than the no name brand diaper bags. Designer diaper bags can be made from rich, luxurious fabrics and leathers and have more or less pockets then the no-named brand of diaper bags. It's all about the style and design when it comes to designer diaper bags. It's like the ‘red carpet' of diaper bags – you just want to be seen with one, never mind if they are practical or functional. Many of which, are not.

The styles of designer diaper bags are also very different, much like women's handbags are all different. There are many styles to discover. Some have two tiers, some have interesting patterns for the fabric, and there are even some styles which resemble evening bags or purses. Some women prefer the designer styles to the everyday styles with cartoon characters or other cutesy items because they enjoy being trendsetters. Everyday diaper bags tend to emphasize the ‘mom' instead of ‘woman.' Many women who enjoy designer diaper bags are career or fashion-oriented and have a more limited use for the diaper bag. Sometimes they need the diaper bag to look like a handbag because of career commitments. And some women are fortunate enough to have a home caregiver for their children and that person uses the traditional everyday diaper bag and mother uses the designer style for her trips out and about with baby.

Some of the styles of designer diaper bags are fashioned in the same styles as the trendiest women's handbags, and some are designed after the more common styles of women's purses. There are hobo bags, backpack diaper bags, duffle style diaper bags, messenger bags, tote bags, and even gear designed with father in mind. Even Dads can use designer diaper bags! Anything that is out of the ordinary or even downright unusual, such as the Jeep® designer diaper bags or the large polka-doted purses are considered designer by the industry. Pick up any Hollywood magazine and you will see Hollywood moms with their little ones and designer diaper bags walking along the park or out of a posh store. And everyone wants to look good, right down to their diaper bags.

Designer diaper bags are usually found in the high-end stores such as Macy's, not in traditional discount warehouse type stores such as Wal*Mart or Target. You pay more for a designer bag because you pay for fashion, style, and name brand recognition. Sometimes bag size is not optimal and features are not all present in the designer diaper bags, but ultimately the choice is up to you.

These are all designer diaper bags because they are stylish and hip and upbeat, not your ordinary, everyday diaper bags.
