I don't normally like to review products without a giveaway in it for you guys. But sometimes, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do…
Especially when it involves a RIDICULOUSLY FABULOUS BAG.
Meet my new Tribe Singapore Sling. It's a diaper bag. Yes, that's right— a diaper bag. Perhaps the most gorgeous diaper bag on the planet.
Check it out— like Angelina Jolie, it might be even sexier from the back:
Of course, this is coming from someone who carried a crusty canvas Skip Hop until about two weeks ago (when she wasn't putting leaky sippy cups in ziplocks, crossing her fingers and sticking them in her regular bag).
Old Mister Skip Hop has now been relegated to back of the stroller while my new Singapore Sling makes it's home in my bed.
Or sometimes, I let it act as a throw pillow on my couch.
Or entertain guests on my coffee table.
With it's water-resistant interior, I could even serve chips and dip in it at parties! It really classes up my apartment, don't you think?
But the exterior is just gravy because it hides the wonderous world of baby-friendly features inside.
The Tribe Singapore Sling features 2 elastic side pockets, two front pockets with an inner cell phone slip and a key ring, two rear zipped pockets perfect for easy access to a wallet or a place to put a change of clothes, 8 interior pockets including two pockets that will hold sippy cups and bottles upright, AND 2 water resistant removable pouches with a changing pad large enough to accomodate a toddler.
Let me tell you— I LOVE LOVE LOVE handing that removable pouch to my husband so he can take Mazzy to the bathroom and cover diaper changing duties.
PLUS, the bag has an adjustable shoulder strap so it can be worn over the shoulder or across the body and comes in so many awesome colors, that you must forgive my New York State of Mind for selecting black.
What's the downside, you ask? Ummmm… well…. the bag does not come cheap.
But Tribe's website is in Singapore dollars so you can just skip looking up the conversion rate and pretend you're paying in Monopoly money, right?
Alright— I'll tell you. It's $500. Which means I'm probably watching the bag more closely in the playground than my daughter.
Can you blame me?
—————————————–
Tribe gave me a free bag in return for this review, but as always, the opinions expressed are strictly my own.
so the question is, will you still carry it around once Mazzy is potty trained????
ps. i am jealous.
I love love love the blue bag in the photo. Too bad you’re not doing a giveaway. $500 is just too much to pay for a bag that gets tossed around and can, after all, get lost. I’d rather have the new iPad for little more money.
Lovely!!! I don’t even carry a diaper bag around anymore- but I would carry this.
Oh.my.gosh I’m drooling as I look at this bag. I’ve been dying to find a trendy, purse-like, diaper bag that’s still waterproof and has all the amenities of a diaper bag. I have some great large Coach bags that I cram snack cups, sippy cups, and extra undies in but it’s not waterproof and doesn’t work well.
I just bought a black coach diaper bag at the coach outlet last Christmas… 60% off whole store, plus an additional 30% off coupon… and it’s gorgeous, so i’ll be using it long after my kids do not need a diaper bag! 🙂
$500 for a diaper bag.. hmmmm I think I will stick with my $40 Hello kitty diaper bag.
I totally get it. I splurged on a Petunia Pickle Bottom Cake Cosmopolitan Carryall when #2 was born. It wasn’t quite as pricey as your fancy new bag, but I treat it like a third child anyway.
…I guess that means I’m actually pregnant with Baby #4, then?
Love that it entertains your guests but I guess at $500 it should do something else beside carry diapers and leaky sippy cups! 🙂
Oh holy smokes..that is one gorgedous bag! I almost want to have another baby to get one….*almost* 😉 enjoy it…it’s wonderful!
You realize that now that I have to have this baby, I have to have this bag. Wonder if I could sell the former to finance the latter.
This is gorgeous. I would use it as a real purse. (And for $500 CERTAINLY would, because the math doesn’t really work out amortizing $500 over just the 24 months the kid is in diapers.) I actually have a similar bag, at a much lower price point, that is technically a fancy/fashionable KNITTING bag. But unless you know I bought at at the yarn shop, you’re none the wiser!
24 months??? i am doing something wrong. 3 year old with NO interest in using the potty.
When you do the math, 500 for such a gorgeous bag isn’t actually that much – you can easily use it for 2 years, and even after. Gosh, I have friends that sound 2,000 on a crib which the baby doesn’t even notice. I’m getting one (the bag, that is).
Forgot to mention that the baby won’t notice the bag, but ia certainly will and am hoping it gives me much pleasure. Ha ha.
It is indeed fabulous. But well out of my price range. Winnie The Pooh gender neutral diaper bag it is.
Can you convince them to send you another so you CAN do a giveaway? That bag looks awesome!
It fits lot in a small design! Beautiful and amazing!
I just might. A little interior water resistance can’t be a bad thing for daily use right?
Ha! Maybe we can set up a playdate for the newest members of our families. I bet they would hit it off!
People pay a pretty penny for babies these days. Maybe you could get TWO BAGS!
Mazzy isn’t close to potty trained either. I think the average age is three.
Yes, but you carry it outside in public so everybody else will!
Trust me— I tried.
Gender neutral was the best thing about my old bag. I made Mike carry it all the time. It looked like a gray canvas messenger bag.
So we might be long lost sisters. Ok, so I don’t actually have a long lost sister but if I did, you might be it. I am in love with that bag and have been admiring it from afar. I wrote about a similar love of Linea Pelle – amazing, beautiful, but not easy on the wallet. Love your blog! Thanks for sharing!

Hi are you able to give me some advise, my sister is having her first child and I want to get her a beautiful diaper bag which at the same time is practical. As I don’t have children I have no experience in what is the thing to look for. I have narrowed it down to 2 options, the one you are so happy with and a Bag by PacaPod the Phoenix http://www.pacapod.com/designer-changing-bag-leather-phoenix.html I love the one you are reviewing above but I am wondering if the PacaPod design of having a feeding pod and changing pod is the way to go. With your experience when you became a new mum which bag would you have found more helpful?
There are certainly a variety of details like that to take into consideration. That
could be a nice level to bring up. I provide the thoughts above as general inspiration but
clearly there are questions like the one
you carry up where an important factor shall be working in sincere good faith.
I don?t know if finest practices have emerged around issues like that,
however I’m certain that your job is clearly recognized as a fair game.
Both boys and girls really feel the impression of just
a second’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
You made a few fine points there. I did a search on the
topic and found most folks will go along with with your blog.
