This was on a wish list for a family member and when I received it and opened it to check it out I was extremely impressed with the quality and design. Very nice bag and would definitely recommend

Like many others, I was interested in the similar-looking Fawn Designs backpack. I was looking for a bag that I could combine work and kid stuff with -- something polished and sophisticated, but still practical enough to stash lots of kid stuff in. I liked the Fawn bag, but I couldn't quite justify paying over $150+ for a backpack that wasn't real leather. I also didn't want any obvious logos or trademarks, so when I found this bag, I pounced on it! (After waiting and waiting for it to come back in stock!) I've been using it for a few weeks now, and it's become a godsend. I can cram TONS of stuff in there. And aesthetically, it's really versatile: it works with modern, chic, athleisure looks as well as more whimsical bohemian ones.

It helped me a lot to read other product reviews of this bag, so I thought I'd add my feedback to the mix to help anyone else who is deciding to get this...

PROS
+ The material is thick, durable and much better than I was expecting. A friend of mine has an actual Fawn, and the material on her bag is much more 'buttery soft.' But the Miss Fong bag's material is still nice, if a bit stiffer. I don't mind this at all -- it holds its shape nicely as a result when I place it on the ground. It's also not heavy at all, which makes it easier to carry when it's packed full with stuff.
+ The backpack straps are pretty comfy for me. I compared the bag I got to the other, earlier reviews with photos and noticed that my backpack straps seem sewn a little wider apart at the bottom than the earlier versions of the bag -- about 1" from the outer edge. It seems the company adjusted the design perhaps once they heard feedback about straps digging into backs? At any rate, it makes a difference in the comfort. (I included a pic in case anyone wants to compare.)
+ The half-moon shape works great...there is LOTS of space inside, a lot more than you'd think.
+ All the compartments and pockets are ingenuous! You can stash EVERYTHING somewhere on the bag: keys, pens, breath mints, all the crazy stuff that just accumulates in the course of life. The bag keep everything nicely organized. I would advise people to use the inner insulated pockets for bottles and such -- sticking them on the outside side pockets makes it more crowded.
+ I always worry that the hardware will look cheap on a bag of this price point, but I found the zippers and pulls to be a nice pale gold color, not cheap, brassy yellow gold. So far I've had no problem with the zipper catching or otherwise not working smoothly -- it zips up wonderfully for me, even when the bag is packed full. Let's pray the zippers hold over the life of the bag!
+ The crossbody straps, stroller straps and changing pad are nice accessories -- the crossbody strap is especially useful for me and my toddler wrangling! All of my accessories were included, and everything was packaged really nicely in a dust bag.
+ The interior is a pale grey-ish nylon, which makes it easy to see everything and keep the inside clean by simply wiping.
+ I inspected the bag pretty thoroughly when I got it for rips, tears in seams, cracks in material, loose stitching and other defects, and found everything to be pretty good quality.
+ And this isn't exactly a "feature," but my toddler LOVES playing with all the zippers on the pockets outside. Keeps him fascinated for a nice period of time...for now at least!

CONS
+ Like others, I wish there was a top handle just to be able to grab and go, but honestly, I feel this also could clutter up the design so I'm okay without it.
+ I didn't realize the back "wipes pocket" doesn't zip up or have any kind of closure. It's not impractical, just something that wasn't clear to me when I got it, so I found that surprising.
+ I would love two zippers instead of just one at the top...makes it easier to close and open on the go.
+ Just from a design perspective, this bag is pretty "square" all around. I personally favor a more rectangular shape and a bit more height in terms of proportion, but that's just me.

Overall, this bag is so cute, practical and versatile, a real "Holy Grail" in a modern mom's arsenal. I'm actually thinking of getting the grey version, too, because it's so great! Overall, I'm really pleased...I get compliments all the time from other moms who love how it combines fashion and function, but also from non-moms who are like, "That's a diaper bag? Really?!!" and simply like it because it's stylish. But mostly I love it because it's a great bridge between the different parts of my life. Too often as a mom it can be hard (or expensive) to blend mom's tastes in design and fashion with the kids' stuff we have to lug around. A bag like this blends my mommy self with my fashion/grown-up self...which is great!

I haven't used the bag so this review is only on my initial impressions. I'm the type of person that needs to put my hands on a bag, especially if I'm going to spend more than $40. With the times, that wasn't possible so I ordered a bunch to compare. I wanted something grey/neutral to wear year round. I purchased 6 bags- 3 grey and 3 black because they didn't come in grey. I ultimately
Chose this bag. Here are my observations.

1) Mrs Fong leather diaper bag backpack (regular- grey)- material was super soft and buttery, good quality for being fake leather and better quality than the two other Mrs Fong bags I bought. The zipper was pretty good until the corner where it originates. It gets hung up on the curve but after that it runs smoothly. The straps are decent quality and are able to cinch pretty tight. Backpacks should be high on your back to center the weight, not hanging low on your lower back. The straps are able to adjust a good bit. The pockets are great size internally and will hold bottles well. The outer pockets are too tight to hold a wide neck bottle but you could squeeze a standard bottle but it's tight. Loved this one the best for overall look and usability.

2) Mrs Fong backpack for women (grey)- this is not a diaper bag but I wanted to try it. The leather isn't as realistic as the above bag. It has two insulated pockets on each side outside but they're not large. It's a nice backpack but it doesn't have enough internal storage for baby stuff and no insulated pockets internally. The zipper on this bag was the best quality as it want a cheep metal but a standard plastic zipper. The only issue I jd with this bag was the straps were too long. With them cinched you as tight as possible the bag still hang too low on my back. If I didn't have a newborn I might choose this one if the straps fit properly (I'm 5'8" and small frame).

3) Itsy Ritzy Diaper Bag- loved this bag and the quality. Loved the structure and the footpads on the bottom. The straps were perfect length and well made. I would've purchased this one but it was too small. I'm a minimalist and this is my 4th child but it's still too small for me and a newborn.

Black bags roundup
4) Mominside diaper bag backpack- loved this bag! The quality material was very soft and the straps were good quality and length. The only thing I hated was that the straps that you tighten hung down like a school backpack which looks cheap to me. The hardware feels cheep to me as well but what's interesting to me is that all the Mrs Fong bags and this one had identical hardware which tells me it all came from the same factory in China. This bag was very lightweight yet held a whole lot! It was my second favorite bag and had it come in grey I would've had a hard time choosing. It's not as wide as the Mrs Fong grey diaper bag but it's taller to hold the same amount. They also did a great job on internal organization and it was pretty close to the same lay out as this bag on this page.

5) Mrs Fong black diaper bags backpack (fancy front tassel pulls)- this bag looks great and I loved the hassle pulls and all the outer pockets but the material felt fake, and was def different than this Mrs Fong bag and it was extremely Heavy! I would not want to lug this around with extra stuff in it. It's the biggest of the 6 bags but what I really didn't like was how it sagged when you wore it liley due to its weight. It did have large side pockets externally that would fit a large water bottle.

6) Miger leather diaper bag backpack (with bottom compartment)- loved the idea of this bag and all of its pockets and storage compartments. The material was soft and nice quality but it's hardware was also cheap. The zipper was very smooth. The thing I didn't like about this bag was the bottle insulated pockets were so large as if the elastic as stretched out. A standard bottle is def going to tip, not necessarily spill, but will lean. The straps on this bag were way too long as well. Even cinched all the way up, this bag sunk to my butt and would've been uncomfortable carrying around the weight not centered higher on my back.

I ordered this bag and the Diaper Bag Tote for comparison. I love this version better, but the webbing straps are not comfortable. REALLY wish there was a PU strap version. Still debating which one to keep based on comfort. Additionally the outside pockets on this one are a bit tighter than the Tote style. The Tote style while it has the PU straps and larger outside pockets, I'm NOT a fan of the additional handle strap as it just is in the way and falls over the front. Really torn on which one to keep!

I love the quality of the bag I love all the compartments that it has to organize the diaper bag the only thing I don't like is the changing pad it's really small but other then that I love it...
