Alright I’ve had this bag for 7 months or so. Struggled to justify the expense at first but just went ahead and bought it. Probably during a middle of the night pump session! Anyway, best purchase I have made for my pumping/breastfeeding journey. I’ve even unpacked it and used as a diaper bag. Have had the opportunity to travel with it and I couldn’t be happier.Coupled with the cold gold and pumparoo, it really does make things nicer when you have great convenience.It still is in perfect condition, despite daily use to work, traveling, and as a diaper bag. I bought a second bag, the Lizzy, to use as a diaper bag going forward. I love it also. They are perfect weekend bags too. I see myself using it for years and years!This bag is exactly what I looking for in a pumping bag for work. There is enough room for my pump, parts/accessories, work laptop, and planner with room to spare. Not to mention it is a beautiful bag that doesn't look like it is a pump bag. I really like this company as well. They are a small business that is doing great work for all moms.I wanted to wait to review this until I used it for a while. I want to start by saying some negative reviews on here almost convinced me to buy a cheaper version, but in a weak moment when I was packing for a trip with an 8-week old I realized I didn't have a good bag to pack my pump in and so I hit "purchase." I have zero regrets! I take this to work every day and I've been back to work for almost six months, and the bag looks great! I travel with it on trips and I've used it on the weekends coaching for a whole day. I use a Spectra and I have a 15" Macbook Pro. There is no sign of wear AT ALL! And trust me, I am hard on bags. I like my purses to be real leather and I use the same one for a few years until it's beaten up and I NEED a new one (favorites have been fossil, kate spade, etc..). Here are my highlights:1. It doesn't scream "THIS IS MY PUMPING BAG" -- I love that it looks like a regular bag. The gold details are just enough to make it not boring. It looks professional and can easily be used as a diaper bag when I don't want it to be a briefcase.2. The top zipper - shove everything in and zip it closed.3. The size - big enough for my pump in one compartment, my parts in the other, my laptop in the sleeve, and then I can shove extra milk bags, my nursing cover, hands free bar, and a bunch of other stuff (even my lunch if I don't want to zip it) and I'm not carrying 3 bags.4. The pockets - easy to organize and I can find everything fast. I even use the pocket that's meant for a rolling suitcase handle for folders ! I love the little front pocket for my phone and the elastic pockets on the inside for stuff! The spot for my pump is just big enough that I can twist my pump to the side to charge it. I almost NEVER take it out of this bag.5. The straps - tote style or messenger style. I love the option of both. I think I use it both ways daily.6. The quality - the handles are sturdy, the fabric is thick, and the zippers are quality. None of the brown parts on my bag are cracking like I saw in some reviews.I seriously think I would continue to use this bag after I'm done pumping as a weekender bag or a travel briefcase (when I need more stuff than just for an 8 hour day). I'm so happy I splurged on this.I have literally never written a review on Amazon before, but I feel strongly enough about this bag to write my first one. Working mamas: this is a LIFESAVER. After spending my first few weeks back at work toting (1) my work bag, (2) a cooler, (3) an extra bag with my pump and pump parts, and (4) a lunchbox, I felt like there had to be a better way. I was hesitant to spend so much on a bag, but took the plunge and am SO glad I did. My Spectra S2 fits in one of the zippered side compartments, and my coordinating cold gold cooler fits in the other one. I should note, I pack four 9 oz Avent bottles in the cooler each day (with travel tops), and the cooler _still_ fits perfectly - even with the ice pack in there. I have room for my computer, notebook, and several file folders on the inside, and can fit a bag or tupperware container with my pump parts in the inside zippered portion too. On top of that, I can still fit my large wallet, a Swell water bottle, and a zippered pouch with pens/highlighters/etc. Sure, the bag is bigger than what I used to carry to work - but much, much more compact than what I had to carry once I was bringing my pump and all of my pumping things to work.This bag has been through 5 months of heavy use now and still looks almost new. It just has one small scuff, and that's only there because I scraped it against a concrete wall. It's taken a real beating and still looks professional!Finally, I have to note that this bag is so well thought-out, it could have only been invented by a mom. If you're on the fence, I say give it a try. Amazon's return policy is excellent, so you can just send it back if you decide it's not for you. I'm almost positive, though, that once you try it, you won't be able to live without it!Love this bag so much! This bag doesn't advertise "pump bag/diaper bag" when out and about. I feel so sleek and "cool" while I wear it. Also, it FITS EVERYTHING, your pump and then some. I use it for my Spectra pump and it fits perfectfly! I also love how when I am done pumping I'll be able to use this bag as a travel bag for vacation. Moms - if you're hesitant about the price DON'T BE!! It is 1,000% worth it and you DESERVE THIS!Great quality and actually fits everything I need for work.. my s1 pump, accessories, lunch and laptop - well worth the price tag.
