The Petunia Report: Notes from the Founders

A New Day is Born

DeNai Jones

With my son quickly approaching two years old, I recognized changes in our daily routine and the fact that I didn’t need to lug around as much “stuff.” With the frequency of quick trips across town to music classes, the grandparents, pre-school and back it’s been nice to enjoy a lightened load.

 

Born out of this realization was the idea to design a diaper clutch that was more than just something to hold a few diapers and a wipes case, but could provided moms with a lighter, smaller but equally as stylish option to a traditional diaper bag. I began by outlining the requirements of my latest creation and determined that at the bare minimum it had to be able to house the following essentials: two diapers, wipes case, changing pad, small wallet, cell phone, keys, lip gloss and of course, a snack bag for the little man.

Numerous sketches and prototypes later, the Cross Town Clutch was born.

Cross Town Clutch

New in stores now, the Cross Town Clutch comes complete with a Petunia Pickle Bottom signature wipes case and a fold-out, detachable changing pad (so when you’re out sans baby, you can gain some extra room for your essentials) and has the capacity to hold everything I need for quick trips about the town. I hope moms find it to be as useful and easy to use as I designed it to be!
