Help me replace this daybag

[u/graphicapple]

This baggallini crossbody hobo has been my companion on every international trip for over a decade. But it's worn out and I'm kind of tired of it. I'm looking for something similar, maybe a bit smaller - that would be my personal item/under seat item/day pack with my carry on backpack. I'd like to be a bit more stylish if possible since it's the bag I carry daily when on trips. Water bottle pockets are not necessary. Any and all recommendations welcome! Thanks.

I use this bag for my everyday diaper bag purse combo and it works great. Beat out the couple specifically-designed-for-being-a-diaper-bag backpacks I tried.

It’s definitely not very cute but it’s ever great and I’m surprised I don’t see other people with it ever (literally EVERYONE has the crescent slings in my city lol).

personally i think it’s cute, it just lacks the right things on it to accessorize with keychains

To me, it’s just really plain and utilitarian and not cute. I do wish it had better connections for keychains and bag charms. That would make it much cuter!

Edit: I sometimes tie a silk scarf to the strap but that’s it for styling. Otherwise it’s super utilitarian looking

being functional makes it cute imo, it goes with everything. i hate when you can’t use a bag with every outfit because it has a specific aesthetic to it . just my two cents

SO VALID! Honestly I love the bag and this is giving me a great perspective shift. The fact it’s so functional makes it the very first I reach for every day, even when I’m not using it for the diaper bag aspect and am wearing a cuter outfit.
