    The best but falling apart after 3 months!, November 11, 2010
    By 
    SoCalAvAZ “SoCalAvAZ” (Laguna Beach, CA) –

    I got this bag as a gift when I was pregnant. I was excited about having a stylish diaper bag that could double as my purse. When I got it I noticed it was HUGE. Wow, this is a really big bag so if you have a small frame keep that in mind.

    The bag is awesome, the amount of room it has and the organization in it is wonderful. It fits everything so well! And you can’t tell by the picture but the way the zipper part is done you can load the bag up to the rim and not have an issue zipping it. I can’t describe it but the top part gets raised up when it’s full and the zipper never gets in the way. Genius design.

    It comes with a small purse which I love. I carry my wallet and car keys etc in that and if I drop baby off at grandma’s I leave the main bag and just take the little purse with my stuff in it. Again, genius design.

    I love it a lot BUT THERES A HUGE BUT … the bag is not nearly as sturdy as it needs to be for this purpose. Right when I got it one handle started falling apart. Now after 3 months use the inside buckle has ripped and the thermal bottle holder has fallen apart and ripped. I’m so sad about this. I wish it was made a bit sturdier. They thought of everything for the bag why didn’t they think that lugging this big bag around requires something that can handle a little more wear-and-tear? I use it very gently but sad to say it’s probably not going to last as long as I thought.

    Would give it 3.5 stars.

    Thank you for your detailed reviews.

    At timi & leslie®, we value our customers feedback and use it to continuously improve our products.

    The Charlie is one of our best selling bags. It is also one of the larger bags in our collections and can be subjected to significant heavy loads if filled to capacity. This led to a few cases where bags were tearing around the handles and stroller straps breaking. There were also a few instances where the stroller straps were incorrectly attached to the side decorative tassels instead of the designated rings, leading to the tassels falling off. To address these issues, we have reinforced all stress points on the bags (handles, double layered handle loops, internal backing) and switched to stronger hardware for the stroller straps. We have also added detailed instructions on how to correctly use the provided custom stroller straps to hang your timi & leslie Charlie bag.

    In the unlikely event that customers have any issues, please contact our customer service for assistance.

    Great looking but poorly made., October 22, 2010

    Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

    This bag looks amazing. No one knew it was a diaper bag. The inside is roomy and the pockets are great. However, the quality is terrible. After only a handful of uses (and I didn’t overload it–I don’t even carry bottles, just diapers, wipes, and money) the stitching on the outside was coming undone and the pockets inside were ripping out. The handles are almost off. I am returning it to Amazon as Timi and Leslie were not at all helpful in solving the problem. I asked them for a replacement and they said I could only deal with Amazon. Not even an apology. Wish it was of better quality because it is awfully cute.

    Love this bag!!!!!, October 22, 2010

    I love this bag! I also had a problem with my first Charlie bag. I hooked the shoulder strap up to the side straps which it turns out are just for looks. The shoulder strap is supposed to be hooked up to hooks that are on the front and back of the bag. I complained to the company and they were awesome! They explained the right way to hook the shoulder strap up and sent me a new bag. Since then, I have had no issues with this bag at all. It’s great quality. It fits so much stuff in it and takes a lot of abuse and keeps going strong. It is a gorgeous bag, stylish and practical and I am always getting compliments on it when I’m out.
