So my first big purchase after having baby was the Mina baie diaper bag. I hemmed and hawed over the price for months and unsure which style I would want ( Harper vs Kinney).
We had a few unexpected expenses come up so I held off and used my madewell tote as my diaper bag. I should have known better, because on the few outings we had,I was scrambling in my bag and just felt so frazzled. Yes, I even had little organizer but those were even annoying to sort through.
Finally took the plunge and got the Kinney in vegan leather. I’m a purse snob and first off the vegan leather is the best I’ve ever seen. Surprisingly supple and movable. Overall, the bag is just beautiful and I will use it for work or the gym when I’m no longer using it for my little goo.
The magnetic closures and pockets are amazing. I’ve never seen a bag with such strong magnets! It really keeps the pockets from gapping and keeps your stuff safe as you go from throwing it from your shoulder into the car. I’m amazed at how much I have stored in there and can still easily access it.
I know it’s very much an Instagram bag and is a lot of money for something you can purchase for < $50 but just wanted to provide a non- influencer review for those on the fence.
As a final note, I feel a little bit more put together and myself with this bag. My hair might be barely brushed and I’m rocking spit up stains on my tee shirt but at least my diaper bag is keeping my fit fresh.
Thank you for your review of this diaper bag. I was heavily considering the Dagne Dover Indi backpack diaper bag, but there were a couple of things that had me on the fence (longevity of the material and not being able to close the luggage sleeve). This bag definitely checks off all of my boxes and then some!
I appreciate this review and am (impatiently) waiting for them to restock!
Anyone have a Mina Baie diaper bag? I’m wanting either the Stevie full or the Kinney, but I’m worried about the magnetic flap being annoying or in the way on the Kinney..anyone have it want to share if you like it? I do like the flap version better visually.
I have the Emma I believe? The backpack? I’ve had it for over a year now and it’s holding up really well. Love it.
This might not be helpful but I have the Stevie midi in nylon and the full size in vegan leather. They’re holding up well so far.
I had the Winnie (kinda the horizontal version of the Kinney) and the flap wouldn’t stay closed when it was packed full so I sold it. Not sure if Kinney has the same issue.
Also if it’s helpful the Stevie fits more! They have a chart somewhere on their website with how many liters each style holds.
Anyone with Mina Baie kinney and can share their experience with the bag and if you'd recommend?
Also, nylon or vegan leather (I was leaning towards this)? And lastly, would you recommend full or midi for someone petite? The goal is to use this bag beyond diapering days.
So I’m looking for diaper bags, this’ll be my first, and I’m due in December.
Does anyone have the Mina Baie Emmy? I’m debating whether the nylon is worth it over the vegan leather version.
Vegan leather concerns me because I hate how shiny it can sometimes look after some wear, and it can sometimes crack (based on a couple vegan leather bags I’ve had in the past).
Does anyone have pros/cons for either?
Thank you!!!
