You might think that Little Fish is a character on Sex and the City. See, he loves bags. He has about 6 now. He has a JAL handbag to carry around toys, 2 backpacks, a giant bag for daycare, and a couple others. He's finished with diapers though so when he goes back to daycare his big bag will be passed onto Cupcake and he can take a smaller one for just his communication book.

A friend in Japan has her own business, mainly using Etsy to sell the very cute things she makes for kids. Both Little Fish and I have been eying her wares for quite a while. She made us some fabulous napkins and placemats last year, but those aren't quite as fun as a bag for an inventive preschooler!

A couple weeks ago, we spotted the perfect bag for Little Fish on my friend's blog. Little Fish likes the Beetle Cars, I love the grey fabric that feels a little retro. I contacted her and asked her if she could make it sometime before December, when I am going back to work and the kids are off to daycare. She whipped that bag up in no time and it was at our place a couple of days later. Well before December!



It's hardly been off since. This bag is adorable, and perfect for preschoolers. It closes so there's no worry of losing toys like with his JAL bag, but he can put it on and close it up himself, unlike his giant backpacks. It's the perfect size to carry his wallet with all of his pennies and dimes and 10-yen coins. And he doesn't have to bug mommy to carry home all the rocks he's picked up!



He generally carries it on one shoulder rather than across like messenger bags should be carried. I guess that's from seeing me and my purse(s). I should show him more Veronica Mars to show him how cool a messenger bag should be!

If you have a toddler or preschooler, rush out and get them a messenger bag from Meeabee. She's awesome, the bags are awesome, and your kid (or grandkid) will love it.
