✨ Behind the Bags: The Stories & Magic That Inspired Our New Collection
At Green Cheeks, we believe parenting products can be practical and personal. Our newest collection of backpack changing bags is proof of just that — bursting with colour, storytelling, and a little bit of chaos-containment.
These aren’t just pretty prints. They’ve been years in the making — dreamt up in late-night chats, inspired by childhood favourites, and drawn from the friendships that keep us going through motherhood.
So here’s a peek behind the seams at how The Sorting Bag, Wildflower Wonderland, and Once Upon a Peach came to life.
🧙♀️ The Sorting Bag – For the Mum Who Does It All (and Then Some)
Inspired by magic, mischief, and a hen party that nearly caught fire.
This one started, as all good things do, with my best friend Liz.
When I launched Green Cheeks, she was right there — cheering me on and throwing out wild ideas. One of the first? “You need a wizard bag.”
And of course, she meant Harry. (She’s always meant Harry.)
Liz is the ultimate Potter fangirl, so when I threw her a wizard-themed hen do — complete with spell props and “atmospheric” firelight that nearly smoked us all out — the idea for a wizard-inspired diaper bag was sealed.
Fast forward a few years (and a few babies), and we’re now both mums, still sending reels at midnight, and still dreaming up magic. So it’s only fitting that this design finally made it into the real world — a print full of owls, letters, stars and sorting hats.
🎒 The Sorting Bag is available now as a backpack changing bag and matching wet bag — for the mums who carry snacks, spare pants, and a little bit of mischief, every day.
🍑 Once Upon a Peach – For the Mum Raising Brave Little Adventurers
A tribute to the whimsical chaos of childhood (and, let’s be honest, motherhood), Once Upon a Peach is a vibrant, fruity print inspired by giant peaches, bug friends, and bigger dreams.
This storybook diaper bag is colourful, playful, and just a little wild. Perfect for mums who are always off on the next adventure — whether that’s nursery drop-off or chasing a toddler through a supermarket.
🌸 Wildflower Wonderland – For the Mum Who Blooms Through the Madness
A love letter to the weird, the whimsical, and the slightly mad.
This print has lived in my imagination for years.
I’ve always been a bit obsessed with Alice in Wonderland, especially the Golden Afternoon scene where the flowers sass and sing and everything’s just a bit... off.
That colourful chaos felt like a perfect match for motherhood. So a long time ago (pre-Covid), I had this dreamy floral print created — but then life happened, business slowed, and it sat quietly in the background while I figured things out.
Now, finally, it’s here. 🌸
Wildflower Wonderland is for the mums who bloom through the madness. The ones who keep showing up — even when they’re late, covered in crumbs, and wondering if anyone’s seen their coffee.
Available as a floral changing bag, matching wet bag, and reusable nursing pads, this one’s close to my heart.
🧺 Don’t Forget the Matching Wet Bags & Reusable Breast Pads
Each print is also available in our best-selling wet bags — perfect for swimming lessons, nappy changes, or surprise puddle adventures. And if you’re breastfeeding, we’ve created reusable breast pads in our Wildflower Wonderland design too — because who says nursing essentials can’t be beautiful?
💚 Why These Bags Matter
Every pattern in this collection was imagined with love, storytelling, and real-life motherhood in mind. Designed in collaboration with UK illustrators and crafted to be both beautiful and functional, they’re a celebration of curiosity, friendship, and finding magic in the every day.
