Nanny to Mommy

Looking for a new handbag in 2022? It can be challenging finding something that will work for days at the office, after school pickups, right down to an after-work hang outs. Our favorite style for moms is a shoulder bag thanks to their versatility. From mini shoulder bags perfect for events, to everyday ones that will suit daily life, they’ll help you transport your essentials and allow you to go hands-free (a big one for moms) at the same time. Keep reading to find out our favorite styles for 2022.

When it comes to choosing a shoulder bag, there are a few things to consider. Think about:

● Comfort: opt for something that feels comfortable wearing on your shoulder. For you this might mean a longer chain or alternatively a shorter chain that tucks in right under your elbow.

● Material: If you’re a new mom, consider opting for water resistant materials or vegan leather that’s easy to clean.

● Color: Make sure you have some staples in your handbag repertoire like a blackshoulder bag, and a white shoulder bag before branching out with some more exciting color schemes.

● Size: Consider opting for a slightly larger handbag especially if you have a baby (they come with a ton of baggage!) Or opt for a small shoulder bag and a separate nappy bag for the best of both worlds.

If you’re a new mum, consider avoiding quilted fabric bags or satin and velvet. Basically, anything that would be difficult to clean is best avoided in case your little one accidentally gets sick on your bag.
