If you’re a mom who loves carrying designer bags, you’ve probably wondered if there’s a designer bag that’s practical enough for your daily life—whether you’re pushing a stroller, holding your little one’s hand, or running after them. You need a big, sturdy bag that can hold diapers, baby wipes, creams, snacks, bottles, toys… the list goes on.
The good news is: yes, you can find one! While Louis Vuitton doesn’t offer a dedicated diaper or changing bag, there is a fantastic option in their collection that can serve the purpose.
Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM for a Diaper Bag
The Neverfull is, as its name suggests, a spacious, bottomless bag that is both large and convenient to use. It features an open-top design with no zippers, making it incredibly easy to grab what you need and put it back—perfect for a busy mom tending to her kids. The GM size (the largest available) is especially ideal for use as a diaper bag.
Monogram / Damier Canvas – Perfect Material for a Diaper Bag
The Neverfull comes in Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram or Damier Ebene/Azur prints, and the canvas material makes it a great choice for moms. It’s robust, nearly scratch-proof, and far more durable than many leather or nylon alternatives. The canvas is also water-repellent due to its coated surface (though any water should still be wiped off promptly).
Unlike full-leather bags, the Neverfull doesn’t stain or mark easily. However, the leather handles and trims (on Monogram styles) are untreated and may develop watermarks or patina over time. This is a natural process, and the patina eventually blends beautifully with the bag’s aesthetic.
Size
The Neverfull GM measures 39 x 32 x 19 cm with a handle drop of around 21 cm (the same as the MM size). It can easily accommodate a 15-inch laptop, a thick jacket, and all your essential baby items—even a bottle of water. Many people also use it as a work bag, making it versatile for various occasions.
Cons
Some users find the GM size too large, especially for petite frames. However, the bag’s side strings allow you to cinch it into a smaller, more compact shape when needed.
The open-top design, while convenient, can also be a drawback. If the bag tips over, its contents might spill out. Although the bag has a clasp, it doesn’t fully secure the opening. Placing a scarf or organizer insert inside can help prevent spillage.
The bag lacks internal compartments, which can make it feel like a “black hole” for your items. Using an organizer insert can solve this issue. While Louis Vuitton doesn’t offer inserts, you can find compatible ones online (e.g., by searching for “Neverfull GM insert” on Amazon). Some inserts even include zip closures for added security.
Other Options
If you’re still unsure about the Neverfull GM, here are some alternatives from other luxury brands:
This bag features a bottle holder, multiple pockets, and a zip-top closure. It’s smaller than the Neverfull GM but highly functional.
Dior offers a chic option in their iconic beige and black Oblique jacquard. This crossbody bag is less bulky and ideal for moms seeking a more elegant yet practical design.
Hermes also does offer a bag for those with babies. The Cabriole Nappy Bag is similar to Neverfull in a sense that it does not have a closure on top, but is much casual bag as it is made of 100% cotton. The bottom of the bag is removable and made from water-repellent polyester, which is very helpful as a diaper bag. This is much bigger bags – measuring 50 x 32 x 20 cm.
Made of 100% cotton, this casual bag is comparable to the Neverfull in its open-top design. However, it features a removable, water-repellent polyester base (Neverfull does not have a base hence more slouchy when it is stuffed), making it extremely practical. It’s larger than the Neverfull GM, measuring 50 x 32 x 20 cm.
I hope you enjoyed this guide and found some inspiration for your next bag. As a Louis Vuitton lover, I personally recommend using Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM for a diaper bag. Many moms love using it as a diaper bag, but ultimately, the best choice depends on your body frame and specific needs.
