I have been asking heaps of people lately what they look for when shopping for a new nappy bag.  There seems a common theme happening.

A stylish bag that’s practical and doesn’t look like a nappy bag.  One that can hold all essentials in different compartments.  A bag that can double as fashion bag when going out.  One that will last the life of the toddler years and beyond.

I think the Vanchi range of Nappy Bags is all this AND MORE!!  Best of all its an Australian Company!

Hearts Bowler

Hearts classic

There are so many different styles from VANCHI to decide? Which one suits your style?  We have the new Urban Cosmo , Bowler Hearts, Hearts Classic,Chocolate classic, The black leatherlook back pack nappy bags, plus Dads nappy bag.  The Vanchi Traveller from the Urban Escape range at Vanchi, that’s fast becoming “the style of the moment”.  The most popular at La Toriana has been the classic styles in hearts, and the ever popular messenger bag in lime.

Each nappy bag from Vanchi comes with its own accessory pack.  Each has a stylish change mat, a zippered dummy safe, a bottle thermos, a zippered wet pack and a generous adjustable pram strap.   Each stylish designer baby nappy bag comes with multiple pockets and compartments and are a great size.

Every mum is unique and special, and so their nappy bag should reflect their style and personality.  The Vanchi range  has something for everyone.

Comment below  which bag in the Vanchi range suits you best.

I have a 6 year old and I use the bowler as my everyday bag!  I have sold more of this hearts bag as a “parents bag”  for mums with older kids, but still need to carry around bits like, toys, etc.

With having a daughter in tow a lot of the time,  all the accessories are so handy!

The bottle thermosis ideal for A4 paper rolled up and a set of pencils, so when we are at a restaurant, waiting in a Dr’s surgery she has something to do.  The dummy safe is ideal as a coin purse! (I love it)  the wet pack contains bits and pieces (today I have some snacks for when I pick her up from school).  There are pockets I have for my phones (yes I have 2) a spot for tissues and business cards.  A zippered sectionfor my “Personal, girly” bits, and has a great big space for documents I carry!  There are heaps of compartments… its great!

During May we are going MAD!

from today  (well… its almost May) we are giving everyone   use the code    VANCHI at checkout to get

15% off the bowlers, classic and vogue

so I thought I would start sending you a few bits of news of whats happened in the last week, and give you a special treat.. wow… wacky or whatever it may be.

You may be interested to know that the 5 most looked at item in the last 7 days have been….

Sweet Lily from Tippie Toes Petite Couture, is a new addition and has had the most amount of hits for the week.  Simply STUNNING, crisp white cotton with a deluxe satin tie and gorgeous lace detail at the bottom, this designer girls dress that can we worn all year round.  Stylish in Summer on its own, or pop a long sleeve T underneath for the cooler months.  Priced at $48.95, there are only a few left.

Always in the La Toriana top 5 most viewed and most often in the Top 5 most purchased for the week too.  We sell so many of these Vanchi supersized baby wraps and I cannot speak highly enough of them.  Australian designed and owned company VANCHI, these supersized baby wraps are 180cm x 100 cm and so soft and functional.  With many colours to choose from for your baby girl or baby boy, many people buy these for baby gifts.  Comes packaged in an organza bag… ready for gift giving to a newborn baby.  Designer baby wrap at a rock bottom bargain price $19.95  No wonder people buy 2 or 3 at a time. Check out Vanchi’s items

Little Pearls for Little Girls Fresh Water Pearl bracelet… a brilliant present to give as a Christening present to a little girl, and is quite popular as a flower girl and bridesmaid gift.  A girl can never be too young to receive her first set of real fresh water pearls, and this fresh water pearl bracelet for little girls has been popular this week, actually for the last few months.  We have had to restock a couple times and no wonder… its Divine.  Packaged in an organza bag, and white tissue and placed in a white signature packaging… beautifully elegant and stylish and affordable.  $39.95.  perhaps you would like to give the fresh water pearl bracelet and necklace set instead… why not!  Check out all Pearls for Little Girls products.

Never before have I seen a hair clip as popular as this baby heart baby clip!  at only $4.95, a definite must to add to your order.  These little hair clips are brilliant at keeping those couple few hairs clipped without causing any uncomfortable feeling, or slipping out as many baby clips do.

Fairy Floss Creationsis by far a popular designer at La Toriana and her creations are a favourite amongst mums all over Australia and abroad.  Check out her full range.

Ever so popular have been these farm yard blocks from day 1 La Toriana opened.  Comes in a hinged display box, ready for wrapping and baby gift giving.  You know you are always buying a quality baby gift when you see its from DJECO or online at La Toriana.  Priced at $16.95 is a classic baby/toddler toy and great for gifts. see all in this category. We are not suprised to see this as a popular item viewed this week…. is extremely popular.
