You should DEFINITELY take advantage of this!!

What a busy week it has been! Last Thursday we were lucky enough to go down to Brisbane for the Pregnancy, Babies and Children’s Expo which was on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Kym and I had such a great time meeting new mums (who are now Total Bag Envy followers) as well as our Facebook fans who came to say hello and grab a bargain! We had a lot of mums who came to view our bags and see all of our Award Winning nappy bags. Madison won the Gold medal this year and our Tempt, Lust and Lyla bags have all won silver awards!

 It was such a busy weekend with heaps of our gorgeous nappy bags finding new homes. Orange was definitely the new Black. Our Orange Lust went off like hot cakes and was our best seller of the Expo! Everyone also absolutely LOVED our Nappy Clutches. The idea that you can fit all change items into the clutch to make changes easier was a hit. Mums also loved that they can take it on quick outings and be completely hands free as well as out to dinner! With such a multifunctional clutch, no wonder it was a hit!

With such amazing feedback from all of the mums at the Expo, Kym and I have decided to extend our Expo Offers for one long weekend! We absolutely love our Total Bag Envy family and wanted to share the love with all of our mums and mums to be. So… this weekend, we are going to discount ALL of our bags until the 30th of June. Make sure you get in quick to bag a bargain as some of our bags are very limited in stock. There are some bags that I have NEVER discounted so low (maybe it’s the wedding fever?) but if I were you, I would definitely take advantage of these offers!

Happy Shopping!



Until next time,


Kym and Kristy x

Emotional Roller-coaster - some weeks are harder than others

Boy, what an emotional roller coaster the last couple of weeks have been! It all started a couple of Fridays ago. The day had started off super exciting! Our wedding invitations arrived and they were gorgeous! We were so happy with them and we really needed to get them sent out as I was a little late getting them organised. On the same day we also had our taste testing of the food they would serve at the wedding. Yes, we got to taste the food options for the wedding and pick our favourites. Yum! It was such a fun and exciting morning. Then the day took a massive downturn as I found out that our Grandfather had sadly passed away. Talk about going from an emotional high to low within one sentence. I actually went to Mackay to be with my mum while she and her brother and sisters organised his funeral.

And then, a few days later, another emotional turn when we found out that our Madison Nappy Bag had WON the My Child Excellence Awards in the Favourite Nappy Bag Category! We couldn’t believe it when we saw that Gold Medal in front of our bag and feel so grateful to everyone who voted. It really made our day as we are such a small business and to see that everyone loves the bag is such a huge compliment so thank you!



Our emotions coped a battering again at our Grandfathers funeral. It was a beautiful service and apart from Kym forgetting to tell me not to look up (when doing a reading) it went off without a hitch and I think he would have really liked it. Seriously, if you are going to do a reading at a funeral, just look at the words you are reading, don’t look up at everyone!

Grandad would have also really liked the wake! It was actually so nice to see all of our extended family, some we haven’t seen in years, that we had a really good time. The State of Origin was also on that night and we like to think Grandad helped with that field goal because he loved seeing the Maroons win.

So if we have seemed a little off or absent lately, this is why. We are getting back normal and have been playing catch up (or trying to) all week. Thank you again for voting for our Madison nappy bag and also for your kind condolences.

Until next time,
