Jonathan Adler for Skip Hop Duo Deluxe

Designer Jonathan Adler is not a man who believes in buttoned-down, grown-up restraint. His design manifesto at www.jonathanadler.com declares, among other things, that:

“WE BELIEVE minimalism is a bummer.”

“WE BELIEVE tassels are the earrings of the home.”

“WE BELIEVE in infantile, happy emblems like butterflies and hearts.”

Here at Magic Beans, we believe that there’s a time and a place for minimalism, but that a diaper bag doesn’t need to be simple to be chic. And the Skip Hop Duo Deluxe Diaper Bag, which is anything but minimal, is a perfect canvas for Adler’s playful design aesthetic. The Duo Deluxe looks great in Adler – and so will you!

We’ve got the Skip Hop Duo Deluxe in four fabulous Adler designs:

• Black Nixon: Bold black and white hexagons form a pattern of bulls-eyes for an eye-catching graphic look. A bonus wipes case comes in a fabulous contrasting vintage-look red-and-white design.
• Blue Chevron: Angular zipper-like squiggles interlock in gray, green, white, and several shades of blue. The contrasting wipes case comes in a vintage-look pear-green and white pattern.
• Multi Wave: Curved onion-like shapes interlock in an assortment of ‘70s-fabulous colors. The wipes case comes in a ladylike grid of brown circles on an ivory background.
• Yellow Flame: Pretty pear-green, gray, and white peaks ripple up from top to bottom in this eye-catching design. The wipes case comes in a businesslike grid of pale gray circles on an white background.

This fun new take on the Skip Hop Duo Deluxe diaper bag has tons of room for all of your baby’s needs, and tons of pockets to keep them organized. There are so many pockets in this diaper bag, in fact, that you may discover some of them weeks after you start using the bag (this writer did). And this is a good thing! Because the best way to ensure that you know where diapers, bottles, sippy cups, food, toys, keys, your wallet, your PDA, and your phone have disappeared to is to assign compartments for them. The outer pockets have strong magnetic closures, too, so you can use your hands for baby-wrangling instead of closing zippers and snaps.

And the straps on this diaper bag add convenience as well: the removable shoulder strap has a comfy shoulder pad, and you can substitute the new Skip Hop Shuttle Clips to attach your Duo Deluxe to the handlebars of any stroller. A cushy diaper changing pad is included, too.

When it comes down to it, the Skip Hop Jonathan Adler Duo Deluxe Diaper Bag combines a terrific, playful look with tremendous utility. So you can have your grown-up bag, and some butterflies and hearts, too!
