Review: Bachelorette Trista Sutter's Line of Diaper Bags

It is no secret that Bachelorette star Trista Sutter has been living a life full of bliss in Colorado since marrying her television betrothed, firefighter Ryan Sutter. The two lovebirds have since had one son, Max, and have a second child (a girl) on the way. In her new state of motherhood, Sutter has designed a line of diaper bags fit for the "chic mom".

The bags, available through ebags.com and TristaBaby.com, are made of organic hemp canvas. Their bright colors are cited to "create a stylish, whimsical pattern that appeals to mom's fashion sense and baby's curiosity." These diaper bags have several fully functional pockets and a removable changing pad.

But do these diaper bags live up to the hype of being designed by and promoted by a reality television star? Yes and no. While the functionality of the bag is very useful, the design style is a little much. The bags do not come in solid colors, and only come in different varieties of the same two floral patterns. They come in two patterns, the Tulip Blossom and the Lotus Blossom. These patterns are a bit obnoxious for some, making them definitely an acquired style that may not be a right choice for every mother.

The price might be another concern to a mother thinking of purchasing one of these bags. At $145 a piece, they are definitely not for those on any sort of a budget. (While a few may argue this is a steal for a designer bag, the Trista Sutter Diaper Bag is definitely not designer quality.)

The biggest thing the marketers of the Trista Sutter Diaper Bag want you to realize is they mean eco-friendly. The bags are made from fully organic hemp canvas, certified organic materials, and crafted in the United States. The second thing they want to you focus on is the bag's functionality. This, I agree with. There are many handy pockets within this bag design. The added changing pad is definitely a bonus, and the wide straps make carrying everything under-the-sun for baby a breeze. It is liquid resistant, which as any mom knows is very important when choosing a diaper bag. The bottom is reinforced, making carrying heavy items a lot safer for you and your child.

The main question that remains is the Trista Sutter Diaper Bag right for you? Maybe they are or maybe they are not. Your fashion sense, style, organizational needs, and budget need to be evaluated before purchasing one of these bags.
