The Charlie Bag from Timi and Leslie is a large and very deep bag which is quite different in style to many other bags on the market. On first glances it definitely does not look like a changing bag - a real positive for many a Mum who now look for a handbag which can also act as a changing bag - particularly if they are spending a lot of money. Apart from the teal options - the colours offered are quite muted and would match any outfit. There are a number of additions once you open the bag - the changing mat however is quite disappointing in that it is rather thin - on the plus side it does include a handy pocket for wipes. Timi and Lesli include a matching clutch bag with shoulder strap - I like the idea of keeping all your personal belongings seperate from baby's but this bag reminds me of the 80's! My biggest niggle with this bag however is the opening - this is not an easy bag to access due to the size of the zip and the design of the bag. Given just how deep the Charlie bag is too, I can see myself fumberling around for ages looking for something as I can't get the bag open wide enough to see! However, it is well made and at £139.90 RRP you are getting a big bag for your money.

Timi & Leslie – The Charlie Bag retails at £139.90 it comes complete with a changing mat, pram straps, detachable shoulder strap, insulated bottle holder, wet bag and a purse for mum. The bag itself is on the big size, something that I would possibly struggle to fill or run the risk of over filling it, in turn this may result in a heavy bag to carry around. It does have plenty of compartments inside that some are zipped and two more on the outside that are more suitable for keys and a mobile phone. I feel the quality of the lining in the bag could be improved and also when the bag is zipped up you can access the contents through the side due to its design, if the bag is laid down or you have an inquisitive toddler they can I fact get things out of the bag. I do love the colour and it also has more of a handbag feel rather than a changing bag.

The makers of this bag really seem to have thought of every tiny detail and the accessories that come with the bag are the best I've seen. The touches that make it different are the matching clutch for mum, the individual stroller straps, water resistant lining, proper changing mat with space for nappies and the bag designed for dirty clothes, all of which are really handy and you wonder why not all bags have these additions. It is a really big bag and fits everything you need but as it's so deep you do have the tendency to lose things at the bottom. It feels of good quality but I feel the price tag is steep for faux leather and it hangs a little wonky if you have a pushchair with a solid handle because of the way the over body strap is fixed. The accessories are what makes it a good bag but I don't feel it quite matches up to others of a similar price tag.
