Backpacks vs. Handbags for New Moms: Your Thoughts Needed!

Hi r/handbags community! I'm a founder working on designing a backpack specifically for new moms, and I’d love your input.

I know many people swear by handbags for their versatility and style, but backpacks offer hands-free convenience. For new moms who juggle work and little ones, the choice isn’t always easy.

If you had to choose between a stylish handbag or a functional backpack, which would you pick? And why?

I’d also love to hear:

What features would make a backpack appealing to you as a handbag alternative?

What would make you stick with a handbag over a backpack, even with the challenges of mom-life?

Your feedback will shape the design—I want to create something that truly meets moms' needs without compromising style. Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts!
