Lemonfish bags

There was a time not so long ago that I was on a search for the perfect "mommy bag."  Also known as a "diaper bag", or "bag to carry everything you, your husband, and kid(s) might need during your entire outing."

I saw these bags in downtown Stuttgart and had to find out more about them.  It turns out they are made of used sailors' bags and constructed in womens' prisons.  Recycling, re-training, and a women-run company, I am liking these bags even more! 

I have become partial to messenger-style bags as it leaves me two free hands to shuffle the kids and all their needs and these two pictured below especially jumped out at me.  Lots more designs at lemonfish's website! (click on "Bild-und Preisliste").
