How to Choose Between the ORIGINAL and the LUXE?

  • "I am totally crushing on the original ARCH Bag. I have a toddler and a baby, so sometimes life gets hectic. I love that I can easily access what I need from my bag without trying to undo a zip with one hand. I love the grey, it is definitely my style and unisex so it's perfect for my husband to carry." Hannah

    SHOP ORIGINAL 

  • "I love my ARCH Luxe bag. It is the only nappy bag I could find that my husband would be happy to use as well. The reason we chose the luxe was mainly for the insulated bottle pockets, perfect for keeping bottles warm and for keeping snacks cold as bub gets older." Georgie

HOW IT WORKS

Our super fast and function strap designs mean that the bag can be converted in SECONDS.

There is only 1 step - Pull the straps.

There will be times as a parent that you need your hands FAST. When your baby need comforting or your toddler is making a run for it - simply pull the straps and throw your bag on your back.

  • "It is an amazing bag, it's super functional. You can wear it as a backpack or a tote or even hang it off your pram. We love it" Abby

  • "I love my Arch bag. I recommend it to all of my friends and family. One of the best things is that I can wear it with my baby carrier and my husband likes it too. It wasn't my first nappy bag, and I really wish that I chose it first time around." Gen

  • "The backpack to tote transition is my favourite out of all of the bags I've seen. I feel this functionality is essential, especially if you have more than one child. I just love the style!" Alison

Top 5 Must-Haves in a Nappy Bag

1. IT NEEDS TO BE YOUR STYLE

When it comes to nappy bags, choose a style that's your soulmate, not a science experiment. Many new mums feel that they lose their style when they become a mum. Make finding a bag that makes you feel good a priority. After all, if it doesn't make you feel fabulous, you'll be more likely to ditch it than use it. So, skip the bells and whistles, and go for the bag that speaks to your heart (and your fashion sense) every day!

2. THE RIGHT SIZE!

Don’t choose a bag that is REALLY big, because you will fill it up with stuff that you don’t need and it will be HEAVY AF. Make sure the bag you chose has enough room, but not too much. Give us some space and us Mama’s tend to find a way to fill it. You will regret it when you are out and about trying to lug it around while chasing your toddler.

3. FUNCTIONALITY!

It can’t just be pretty; it needs to be super functional too. Although we like to think that motherhood is all chilled coffee dates and baby giggles – but let’s be honest – 💩 will hit the fan at some point (hopefully not literally). You will be out with a screaming baby or a toddler who is doing a runner and you need to be able to quickly flip your bag into a backpack. This is a big one.

4. IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE A BABY BAG

Go for a bag that doesn’t look like its full of nappies and baby clothes. That way you will get a lot more use out of your bag well beyond your kids being in nappies. Plus it will feel like something for you, not just to hold baby gear.

5. GENDER NEUTRAL DESIGN

We get it, the allure of a super girly bag that perfectly complements your pram is oh-so tempting. But here's the deal-breaker: If your partner won't touch it with a ten-foot pole, you're in for some solo nappy bag duty, and that's no fun for anyone!

Think minimalist designs, neutral colour palettes, and versatile styles that appeal to both parents regardless of gender. These inclusive designs offer the amazing practicality of a bag that both parents love using. 

You want a bag that Dad loves too! You will thank us for this one later.

Excellent travel bag

I bought this backpack to fit the shallow tray of my travel pram on a recent trip interstate and it was amazing. It fitted so much of what I needed and went in the tray easily as well as under the seat on the plane. The adaptable straps made it easy to wear and it also just looked good with my nicer outfits. Would definitely recommend!

Must Have Bag!

This bag has replaced so many of my bags. I don't need to move my stuff between bags anymore because I use this bag for work, days with the kids, family days out - really just everything! It looks great and changes between a tote and backpack easily. I highly recommend this bag.

Sturdy bag

My kids are actually out of nappies, but the bag is so handy as I ride them to school and kindy on the bike so use it as both a backpack and handbag. It fits everything I need, including wipes, snacks, my laptop, spare clothes etc. Very happy with the quality and colour!

Love love love

Absolutely love this bag! I got one of the originals years ago and updated to the vegan leather. The bag is so functional and comfortable to wear. Fits everything you need for baby and when you can use it for work once baby is grown. 100% recommend!

I have already recommended this bag to my friends!

I'm really happy with this bag. It looks and feels high quality. I can easily clip it to the pram using the pram clips. It is comfortable and big enough for everything I need for 2 kids. My husband likes it too.

Still using 4 years later

I bought this for my third child after going through several bags with my first two. This bag has held up perfectly and I still use it all the time for family outings even though we're well past the nappy stage. The backpack/shoulder bag design is super helpful and perfect amount of pockets.
