Is the Dad in your life new
to the job? Does he have
his fair share of diaper
duty? Maybe you have an
expectant dad who will have
his hands full this summer.
For any new dads out there,
a classy gift this June is
The Isla diaper bag from
Paperclip. In the busy world
of parenting, fashion and
function don't always have
time to coexist, especially
when both men and women
are sharing something as
essential as a diaper bag.
Enter The Isla. Paperclip has
designed The Isla with some
innovative features without
compromising on style.
The all black bag with
gunmetal hardware is a
real head turner on the
The Isla by Paperclip
playground. Its sharp looks
are fitting for both men and
women, so dad won't get
stuck carting around the big
pink diaper bag anymore.
And while its sold as a
messenger style bag, the bag
smartly converts to a double-
strap backpack configuration
with ample back padding for
comfort, and includes a pass
through for roller luggage
handles on the road.
Sturdy zippers, metal pulls,
and magnetic closures
ensure that all the contents
of your bag are easily
accessible and can withstand
the wear and tear of a few
toddlers. With flexibility in
mind, Paperclip has included
several compartments and
configurable dividers to let
you stash your supplies
where you want. It even
comes with an exterior
laptop sleeve to keep your
gadgets away from your baby
necessities.
The most exciting feature
of The Isla is the built-in
changing station. Opening
the front of the bag reveals
a fold out mat complete with
side walls for privacy and
safety (to make sure your
baby doesn't roll away mid
change!). The changing
station is magnetically
attached to the rest of the
bag, so it can be easily
removed for cleaning when
needed. It also features
an antimicrobial and liquid
repellent coating for obvious
reasons. Public changing
tables are nice in a pinch, but
having your own changing
station at the ready in any
circumstance is a fantastic
option.
So if Dad balks at the
prospect of carting around a
floral quilted diaper bag, or
just wants some more privacy
when on diaper duty, The Isla
from Paperclip will be a very
well received gift this June.
