Maternity Bags - Designed for the Journey into Parenthood
A maternity bag is more than just a hospital bag - it is the bag that carries you through pregnancy, birth and those first months of new parenthood. Our maternity bag range combines thoughtful organisation, durable easy-clean fabrics and stylish designs from trusted brands including Storksak and OiOi, alongside our own Trellis label.
What to Look for in a Maternity Bag
- Spacious and organised - room for mum's essentials, baby's clothes, nappies and toiletries, with pockets for everything
- Easy-clean lining - wipeable interior that handles the unexpected, from leaking bottles to nappy incidents
- Comfortable to carry - wide, padded straps that are gentle on a pregnant body and comfortable post-birth too
- Converts beyond the hospital stay - quality materials and a timeless shape that transitions into a nappy bag, travel bag or everyday tote
- Fits everything for the hospital - large enough for your own things and baby's first outfits without needing a second bag
Planning ahead? Pair your maternity bag with a dedicated hospital bag checklist and a compact nappy bag for when you come home. If you want a bag that does both jobs, explore our nappy bag backpack range - many double as excellent maternity and hospital bags.
