Moost Bag Review

Hi there! I hope you’re having a great week so far, we are spending ours at the beach and it has been lovely! Today’s post is about an amazing brand called Moost Bags.

In May of 2020 our daughter Maggie made her own special entrance into the world with a fast and scary birth. She ended up in the NICU for a few days and then had to have minor surgery at the age of three months old. We spent a lot of time in the hospital or doctor’s offices for the first six months of her life and every time I took her it was increasingly difficult for me to feel like I wasn’t bringing germs home to a very fragile baby. I am grateful that our time for extra medical needs has since passed but while we were going through it I found myself trying to figure out how best to carry what we needed in a bag that wouldn’t bring Covid home. (at the time we still were learning whether Covid was transmittable by surfaces). I tried old Lululemon bags that I could wash in the washing machine or I was continually dousing my lovely Dagne Dover bag in Clorox, but that got old really fast. I was mentioning this to my friend and doula Heidi, and she suggested I look into getting myself a Moost bag.

Moost is a company owned and created by a mom and her mom. They wanted to make an interchangeable, fashion forward, functional, and customizable bag for moms, and I think they most certainly have done a wonderful job executing their vision.

Each Moost bag starts with a shell and you have over a dozen different colors to choose from. Each shell is the same size and made from the same easily wipeable material. I love that no matter where I put my bag, I have solid peace of mind that I can clean up whatever decides to stick to the waterproof shell. I can take the whole bag apart and wash the shell in soapy warm water or just use a wipe for a quick wash. I chose a blush pink for my outer shell and it still looks brand new after months of use.

Step 2 in your Moost bag assembly is to pick your handles. Yep, you read that right you get to pick your own handles. Each Moost has the option for several different styles of handle plus plenty of color options. Your bag really is totally unique, unless you choose to purchase one of the pre-assembled ones. I have black rope handles currently and for my next bag I have my eye on a pair of the vegan leather handles.

Next up is to pick your inner bag. You technically don’t have to use an inner bag if you don’t want to, I’ve seen a lot of people using just the outer shell and handles for an extra tote for water bottles and snacks but the inner shell makes these bags really special. All inner shells connect to the handles so they don’t slide around, zip closed, have two interior pockets, and are waterproof. I have spilled an entire water bottle of water inside of my bag, and found all my stuff floating inside but not a drop leaked out. (Maybe its time to find a better water bottle?) Inner shells come in canvas, linen, textured vegan leather, & a foiled texture vegan leather, and all with multiple color options. I currently have the beetlejuice inner canvas bag.

Once you have your bag assembled you can accessorize it with different trims. Whether its fur for the winter or a specialty tie dyed inner bag, the combinations are endless. Best part is that if you want to go for a slightly different look you don’t have to purchase a completely new bag. You can buy all the individual pieces separately so you can tailor your bag to your needs and look for any given day.

I am amazed with the amount of stuff I can fit into this bag. I currently have diaper supplies, my wallet, keys, multiple masks, sunglasses, all the little things that go in a purse like gum, plus I can fit my water bottle, extra diapers, and snacks if I want to. I love the size it comes in (although I wouldn’t be mad if there was a bigger one), it never feels bulky on my shoulder and it coincidentally fits perfectly into our wagon cargo bag.

I think it’s safe to say I’ve enjoyed using this bag.
