10 Chic and Roomy Handbags That Can Hold All Your Mommy Essentials, Starting at P385

Before I became a mom, I used to carry small and chic bags, which were enough to hold my wallet, kikay kit, phone, wipes, and power bank. But things changed when Monica came. I went from small and chic to heavy and huge a.k.a. the diaper bag! Then, I wondered, are there affordable handbags out there that can hold all my things?

Affordable Handbags for Moms

All mommies can relate for sure because leaving a house with a baby feels like bringing your whole house – extra diapers, extra clothes, extra wipes, and a whole lot more. I know I have the option still bring a stylish tote bag together with our diaper bag, but for me, it’s easier to just carry one big bag with all our stuff.

If you’re on the lookout for bags that can carry all the essentials without having to sacrifice style, here are 10 spacious options that are mom-approved:

1. Customized Marian Tote, Php385, Good Bag PH

Simple but beautiful. This tote is made of canvass, is spacious, lightweight, easy-to-carry, and most of all, it’s affordable – what every mama wants!

You can customize the print, whether you’d like to put your name, initials or a quote on it. It also comes in a smaller size so your mini-me can rock one, too! You can even gift this to your BFFs!

2. Horton (Medium), Php855, Anmari Handbags

If you want something more compact but can still hold your essentials, this Horton medium bag is just the right size. It looks small but you can put your bottles, extra clothes, toys, snacks, and even a regular kikay kit inside!

The owner started the business to cope with the grief of losing her son, but it has now become a business with a purpose. Bags sold by Anmari are handmade by inmates of Ma-a Jail Correctional in Davao City, which helps the women have a source of income and provide for their loved ones.

3. The New York, Php1,099, AltManila

This three-way bag (Crossbody, Backpack, Top Handle) is a winner for any mom. You can easily throw inside all your stuff, plus your baby’s, and still have some space left for hubby’s things. I love that you can carry it in multiple ways and it’s made of water-repellent nylon, plus features an anti-theft lock. The colors will also match any OOTD!

4. The Hanaman, Php1,180, Traviel Collection

This shoulder bag is locally designed and handcrafted using canvass and vegan leather, and it’s roomy enough to carry all your belongings – from your kikay kit to your kid’s coloring book and more. Its sleek style gives mamas a boost of confidence amidst a busy and chaotic mom life. I love that it is neat looking and sturdy enough – even though the stuff inside says otherwise (hey, don’t judge, it’s called motherhood!). It comes in olive green, soft gray, and classic black.

5.  Angie Croc, Php1,200, Shiq Bags

When your kid throws tantrums, you’d want a bag with easy access to her toys. This bag has a magnetic closure and is made of premium vegan leather. It’s lightweight and durable for everyday use, plus it comes with a detachable strap for shoulder or cross-body use.

6. Go-Getter in Honey, Php1,200, ScintillaPH

Sometimes, a pop of color is just what we need to perk our day up. This bag does that while holding all your mommy essentials. It’s made of premium leatherette and comes with a strap and bag organizer, so you have extra space when you need it.

7. Carry-All Tote, Php1,380, EazyPeazyPH
