Before taking it to hospital for Yua’s birth, I used this gorgeous tan leather bag from Mally as a toddler bag for Hazel. It works so well for a mom of any aged child – whether baby or toddler! I enjoyed using the Mally for its practical and functional design. It doesn’t show dirt quickly and can take some hammering (when my husband takes Hazel somewhere, the bag takes a serious beating 🙂

My favourite element of this bag is the tan colour. The gorgeous leather has a matt finish and simply said, it has character. Featured in this blog post is the Tan Luxury Baby Bag – click here for more info.

Mally Bags is a South African luxury leather design company and was founded in 2009 by Marian Nel, who had the desire to make lasting items that get better with age. All their bags are made by in-house leather crafters offering employment to underprivileged women. Each bag is handmade to the highest standards, and has been designed to fulfill its purpose, while leaving only infatuation in its wake.

The tan bag featured on this blog post is a baby bag,  but Mally also offers travel bags, weekender bags, laptop bags and handbags.

• Two outer bottle pockets

Some of my favourite finds that are always inside my Mally Bag…

I just love the colours of these teethers, and it’s just so clever! It looks exactly like an oreo, but your baby can enjoy it without the mess!

Beautiful prints and colours on these unique swaddles from Little Love. I find that you can never have enough blankets for a baby or toddler! Their website hosts a brilliant variety of products for kids. I usually want everything on there. Yua’s cot sheets are from Little Love Kids as well.

The Water Wise book and pen is the best invention of our time. WHAT a clever toy by Melissa and Doug.. I buy these from TAKEALOT. For a little over a R100, it is the best investment to keep Hazel occupied on a plane, car or restaurant!  It uses water in a water-pen to colour the picture. A reusable toy, endless hours of fun and a wholesome alternative to screen time!

Sipsnap tots are funky and user-friendly, and made from “healthy” plastic. Make sure your child is not drinking #BPA along with her juice! Shop them here.

MOTH home is my favourite find of the month. They make functional products in fabrics so fresh and fab. This sweet bag organiser is perfect for my lipgloss, tweezer and tissues. Available here.
