Here I'll keep a running list of the different bags I have and their features, pros and cons, and my opinion and review of them! I will start off posting with everything unfinished and review as I've tested them out and given them a good feel. I continue to collect bags, so waiting until I've reviewed them all will be impossible. Have a request? Does ___ fit into ___ ? Need help picking a bag? Let me know, I can offer any insights I have on the ones I've collected.
I'll sort by brand to make things a little bit easier to find! Keep in mind this is updated often, so check back here and there if you're waiting on a specific review, or don't hesitate to reach out to me and ask about one!

1. Lizzy

Brand name: Sarah Wells Bags
Style/Bag name: Lizzy - Tote Style
Cost (new): $109 before discount
Discount codes available?: 15% off with TEACHINGMOTHERHOOD15 or bundle deal
Multiple color options?: Yes, many options (some will retire, new ones come every now and then)
Exterior material: Nylon
Weight (empty): 1 pound 5 ounces
Dimensions: 17"H x 16"W x 7"D
Structure (i.e wire frame): No
Total number of pockets: 7
Laptop pocket?: Yes, up to 15'' laptop
Insulated pocket(s): Two thermal lined 'pump pockets' are able to hold milk and ice packs for 6 hours.
How to clean?: Spot clean, don't machine wash
Matching accessories: Cold Gold (cooler bag), Pumparoo (wet/dry bag), Swag bag (little zipper pouch)
Bottom feet or grips?: Little metal feet
Main use intention (pump bag/diaper bag/purse): Pump bag, also makes excellent diaper bag
What I love: I love the size, she's truly a "fit everything you need" bag. I like that the lack of structure (wire frame) allows for overstuffing. I'm also one who appreciates the ability to match with accessories, and multiple strap options. Lizzy has tote straps and a crossbody strap. I love that there are two interior padded pockets, so one can be for a pump and one can be for a cooler/milk. Or using as a diaper bag, you can put larger items in there and still have access to the interior space.
What I’d change: I can't think of anything I'd want to change or add to this bag. She covers all the bases for a pump bag! If anything, maybe an exterior water bottle/chiller pocket.
My rating: 5/5
Worth the price?: I think so. With a 15% discount the total -with free shipping and tax- is just under $100. If you wanted to add matching accessories, cold gold cooler and pumparoo wet bag, it comes up to around $160. I think these bags are all well worth their price. Twice a year there's a huge outlet sale with INSANE discounts, and a few other sales sprinkled around the year. I like to take full advantage of those deals!

2. Kelly

Brand name: Sarah Wells Bags
Style/Bag name: Kelly Backpack
Cost (new): $125 before discount
Discount codes available?: 15% off with TEACHINGMOTHERHOOD15 or bundle deal
Multiple color options?: Yes, many options (some will retire, new ones come every now and then)
Exterior material: Nylon
Weight (empty): 1 pound 7 ounces
Dimensions: 15"H x 12.25"W x 7"D
Structure (i.e wire frame): No. 'Lightly structured' but no wire framing.
Total number of pockets: 8
Laptop pocket?: Yes, up to 17'' laptop
Insulated pocket(s): One thermal lined 'pump pocket' is able to hold milk and ice packs for 6 hours.
How to clean?: Spot clean, don't machine wash
Matching accessories: Cold Gold (cooler bag), Pumparoo (wet/dry bag), Swag bag (little zipper pouch)
Bottom feet or grips?: Little metal feet
Main use intention (pump bag/diaper bag/purse): Pump bag, also makes excellent diaper bag
What I love: I'm a big fan of backpack straps. I often take my kids on walks- and in some places we don't bring the stroller and let them walk with us. I can't go anywhere empty handed, so I often bring a backpack with me. Kelly fits an excellent amount of stuff, especially as a standard diaper bag. I like the lack of frame/solid structure because she can be overstuffed a bit, like with those tiny sweaters you don't know if you might need but you toss them in anyways.
What I’d change: I wouldn't mind two interior padded pockets, but on the one side there is an exterior bottle/chiller pocket that's also a great feature. The Fiona bag does have both two interior pockets and an exterior bottle/chiller pocket, so it's like Lizzy and Kelly pockets combined.
My rating: 5/5
Worth the price?: I think so. With a 15% discount the total -with free shipping and tax- is $114. If you wanted to add matching accessories, cold gold cooler and pumparoo wet bag, it comes up to around $180. I think these bags are all well worth their price. I'll mention again - Twice a year there's a huge outlet sale with INSANE discounts, and a few other sales sprinkled around the year. I like to take full advantage of those deals! I'm a person who NEVER pays full price for ANYTHING.

3. Norah

Brand name: Sarah Wells Bags
Style/Bag name: Norah Backpack/Tote hybrid
Cost (new): $150
Discount codes available?: 15% off with TEACHINGMOTHERHOOD15 or bundle deal
Multiple color options?: Currently 4 available - black, latte, mineral, and olive
Exterior material:
Weight (empty): 2 Pounds
Dimensions: 16.5"H x 13.5" W x 7"D
Structure (i.e wire frame): Yes, wire frame - doctor bag like opening.
Total number of pockets: 9
Laptop pocket?: Yes, fits 15-17" laptops
Insulated pocket(s): Two thermally lined interior padded pockets, can keep milk cold for 6 hours with ice packs
How to clean?: Spot clean only, do not machine wash
Matching accessories: Plenty! Cold Gold cooler, Pumparoo wet/dry bag, SWag bags
Bottom feet or grips?:
Main use intention (pump bag/diaper bag/purse): Main use is a breast pump bag, but makes an excellent diaper bag as well.
What I love: I love that you can carry like a tote or backpack, sometimes you need options! I personally also enjoy the structure and how she sits up even with nothing inside. Great space for all of your pump gear (or diapering gear) and looks beautiful. The solid colors are very nice and easy to match with accessories.
What I’d change: I wouldn't mind being able to change/remove the straps, to keep one set on and the other set off. That's a feature I've seen from some other bags that I found to be pretty interesting. I would also not mind an exterior bottle pocket!
My rating: 5/5
Worth the price?: One of the higher priced bags from Sarah Wells, I do find Norah to be worth the money. Built well, sturdy, secure, and very stylish. $150 is a lot of money for a pump bag, but you get what you pay for with this brand every time.
Packing video? Yes- "what fits?" here and special request "does motif luna and accessories fit" here

Bottom feet or grips?: None
Main use intention (pump bag/diaper bag/purse): Pump bag, also makes excellent diaper bag or travel bag.
What I love: I love the size, she's truly a "fit everything you need" bag. I like that the lack of structure (wire frame) allows for overstuffing. I'm also one who appreciates the ability to match with accessories, and multiple strap options. Lizzy has tote straps and a crossbody strap. I love that there are two interior padded pockets, so one can be for a pump and one can be for a cooler/milk. Or using as a diaper bag, you can put larger items in there and still have access to the interior space.
What I’d change: I can't think of anything I'd want to change or add to this bag aside from adding new color options!
My rating: 5/5
Worth the price?: I absolutely think so. With a 15% discount the total -with free shipping and tax- is just under $140. You can also grab the Fiona bundle with accessories for $214 -This is including Pumparoo, SWag bag, and Cold Gold. The Fiona is a very impressive bag- I love that you can machine wash her, and the feel of the neoprene is amazing. The color options are great to pair with almost any of the accessories available. The Fiona is like Kelly and Norah had a baby- the two interior padded pockets from Norah, paired with the exterior bottle pocket from Kelly, and some new features added in like the hidden "pocket behind a pocket" on the front of the bag. Fiona has quickly become one of my most used diaper bags when we go out for park trips or long drives.

Itzy Ritzy
You can click the name of a bag to skip to that section.
Double Take (crossbody)
Packing Cubes
1. Mini Diaper Bag

Brand name: Itzy Ritzy
Style/Bag name: Mini Diaper Bag
Cost (new): $89 before discount
Discount codes available?: $15 off with of your first $100+ purchase by clicking here!
Multiple color options?: 8 total on the site as of 4/24/23- Coffee and cream, Cognac, Vanilla Latte, Leopard, Black, Blush, Taupe, Olive.
Exterior material: Outer fabric 100% polyurethane, lining 100% polyester
Weight (empty): 2.1 pounds
Dimensions: 11.5" L x 7.5" W x 13.75" H
Structure (i.e wire frame): Semi structured, stiff leatherlike
Total number of pockets: 8 pockets, 4 internal and 4 external
Laptop pocket?: No
Insulated pocket(s): Two side bottle pockets are insulated.
How to clean?: Spot clean with damp cloth
Matching accessories: Comes with a changing pad, you can mix and match different patterns of packing cubes and other accessories from the site. For example, all coffee and cream accessories are: Wallet/clutch, bottle bag, Paci pod, Wipes case, Stroller caddy, Boss Bow Charm, Tassel, and other bags such as Boss, Boss plus, Dream weekender, Mini Plus.
Bottom feet or grips?: Signature rubber "foot" bottom.
Main use intention (pump bag/diaper bag/purse): Mini Diaper Bag or mom bag.
What I love: I love the size and full front zip down. For a mini bag it still fits quite a bit, but not everything for an overpacker mom of multiple kids like myself. This may be best when my kids are older and don't require multiple diapers/snacks/cups etc. I'm about to have another newborn in a few months and my two toddlers, so this one won't be used for family outings.
What I’d change: I wouldn't mind if the side bottle pockets had some kind of flap cover or top- I can't help but think they won't hold temp for very long but I haven't tested myself. I would also change the straps- adding some more width or padding maybe. Thinner straps aren't always better and can be irritating if the bag is heavier (though it won't get too heavy as it's a mini bag)
My rating: 5/5
Worth the price?: I think as expensive as the brand is, they do have very well made bags. The material has a very sturdy and premium feel to it, and the rubber foot on the bottom will help extend the life of the bottom of the bag if it's set down frequently. Spending almost $100 on a mini bag is a bit much, so I typically would wait for a sale here if you have your eye on one. They do a couple sales a year and have really good prices for those.

Where to buy? Available on Itzy Ritzy here or Amazon here - I bet you could use a baby registry discount on that!
2. Itzy Ritzy Boss Backpack

Brand name: Itzy Ritzy
Style/Bag name: Boss Backpack
Cost (new): $179 before discount
Discount codes available?: $15 off with of your first $100+ purchase by clicking here!
Multiple color options?: Currently on the site, 2 available. Blush and Black.
Exterior material: Outer fabric 100% polyurethane, lining 100% polyester
Weight (empty): 2.5 pounds
Dimensions: 12.5"L x 10"W x 18"H
Structure (i.e wire frame): Semi structured, stiff leatherlike
Total number of pockets: 17 total pockets (10 internal and 7 external)
Laptop pocket?: No
Insulated pocket(s): One side bottle pocket is insulated.
How to clean?: Spot clean with damp cloth
Matching accessories: Comes with a changing pad and tassel and stroller straps. Plus you can mix and match different patterns of packing cubes and other accessories from the site. For example, wipes case, packing cubes, Paci pods, sanitizer holders, etc.
Bottom feet or grips?: Signature rubber "foot" bottom.
Main use intention (pump bag/diaper bag/purse): Diaper Bag
What I love: I love the size and full front zip down. These bags fit a very good amount of stuff, and have an impressive number of pockets. A lot of people complain that these bags are too heavy, but only 2.5 pounds isn't terrible for the size. The fawn design classic and Mimiandpal Radley are both over 4 pounds. I love the padding on the back and the straps and the large size of the side pockets- I believe the boss plus has two external side pockets while the standard boss only has one.
What I’d change: I honestly can't think of anything I'd change with these bags, they're very well done.
My rating: 5/5
Worth the price?: I think for $179 these are justifiably expensive. They're extremely well made and "fancy". With a coupon they're even better priced as well- and they do sales a few times a year that are usually 15-20% off or even more if it's a color that's on it's way out.

Bottom feet or grips?: Signature rubber "foot" bottom.
Main use intention (pump bag/diaper bag/purse): Diaper Bag
What I love: I love the size of these bags, and despite feeling a bit dense they're not overly heavy. The amount of pockets is extremely impressive, and there's a place for everything. Pair that number of pockets with their packing cubes and you're SO organized! I love the rubber foot on the bottom, and the bottle pockets being large enough to fit my ceres chill inside and hold it securely with no flopping/falling risk.
What I’d change: I honestly can't think of anything I'd change with these bags, they're very well done.
My rating: 5/5
Worth the price?: I think for $189 these are justifiably expensive. They're extremely well made and "fancy". With a coupon they're even better priced as well- and they do sales a few times a year that are usually 15-20% off or even more if it's a color that's on it's way out. These and the Boss Backpacks are very similar, but if I had to pick only one I would take a Boss Plus for the additional pockets (including the large front pocket and second side bottle pocket).
