A Practical Mother’s Day Gift for a Good Cause

One thing every new mother needs is a diaper bag that’s both easy to clean and actually presentable. If you’re on the hunt for one, Rebecca Minkoff’s version, the Bowie bag (named after Minkoff’s daughter), happens to support a great cause. Partnering up with Christy Turlington’s nonprofit, Every Mother Counts, a portion of the proceeds goes toward making pregnancy and childbirth safe for all mothers around the world.  “One woman dies every two minutes as a result of complications during pregnancy and childbirth,” Minkoff says. “I wanted to raise awareness around this important issue.” Made from navy nylon, this bag features a changing pad, stroller straps, and can also be worn crossbody — so practical and socially conscious.
