Thoughts on the BeFab

jaeebird wrote:

Just have to chime in and say Im not a fan of the EL BeFab. I might like it in a print, though. I was hoping the BFF would have been either a larger version of the BeTween or a smaller version of the BePrepared.
I do like the BeHave, but Im going to have to wait to see it IRL.
So Ive been searching the web for diaper bags. I haven't had to do that for a while

YAY! Another "non-fan" of the BeFab

I like the style but wouldn't buy it in EL either, I was hoping for a fun print before this new baby arrives, but I don't think that is going to happen since I am due in June

=-(
Hopefully it's not too far along in to the Summer. I would like one of these bags in a fun, funky print. I just don't love leather in a diaper bag. Other than that, it looks like a fabulous bag :-)

I think quite a few of us were hoping for a fun print. They will probably reveal the prints in June after you have your baby. I'm not sure if you're planning on getting a different bag but I would wait if I were you to see it in prints.

I wanna see it in DZ or DD! I wish June will get here already!

Ohhhhh!! That would be TDF!!!! I wonder what the price will be on the BFF in just a reg print...No EL

I have my packabe to hold me over for now....I was just hoping it would be available so my mom could bring it with her when she comes because shipping here is a ton!!! But if it is truly fabulous, it might be worth it

Ahh yes, the dreaded shipping charges. Almost as bad as customs at ruining all the fun This is why I LOVE LD&D Sooooooo much. Free shipping...For Americans AND Canadians!!!!

All I'm saying is that it better be considerably less than $200

That's why I only ever shop at LD&D. Aaaaaand it gives me a reason to get more stuff so that I meet the $75 limit

That's what I am hoping too....Hopefully its the cost of the EL that makes the bag so expensive

Agreed!! So much more fun to spend money on JJB then on plain old shipping....

I love the befab- so pretty ! I know for most PL's the EL is not the typical JJB printn that we all fell in love with but I've always wanted a diaper bag like the befab in addition to my fun JJB prints I'm afraid to leave my JJB comfort zone so this is great

most of my stuff doesn't get stuck in customs which is good but it is easier to have it shipped to my mom especially if she is coming to visit anyway

And yes I agree, I am hoping the price is a little less....even if I loved the befab, I would never spend $200 on it

Well Rachelle did say that it would cost around the same as a Be All.

So you don't have to pay duties at all if you get packages shipped to Greece?

No way would I ever spend $200 on the BeFab. My DH would flip!

most of the time no...if it comes from a shop it might get stuck, but most of the times I get things sent to my mom in NY and then here because the shipping price to here is so expensive

I'm not in love with the shape of the BeFab in the EL. I think its better suited for the microfiber, but that's just me!

I was kind of hoping for those hidden bottle pockets too, for some reason on the EL I don't like the look of the side bottle pockets

Totally agree

I feel the same way too. It looks way too weird with the side bottle pockets. I think to me, the EL is better suited for a purse instead of a diaper bag. That's why I like the look of the BeHave.
