Meet the gorgeous Aberdeen Vegan Leather Bag – Taupe, a premium vegan leather bag that can be worn as a handbag, crossbody bag, or backpack, and includes a small cross-body purse. The Aberdeen is made with specialty vegan leather that is rarely found in the bag industry. Read more about it here. The Aberdeen is one of a kind and unlike any other bag on the market as the interior can be completely removed by unzipping the premium zipper at the top opening of the bag.
The textured 100% cotton removable lining is machine washable and will be sure to stop the show with the insanely cute colors/fabric options you have to choose from to make her uniquely yours. Her shape tapers at the bottom but doesn’t let that deceive you.
The Aberdeen is large and packs ups nicely. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better- The Aberdeen has a center vegan leather pocket to hold all the essentials and keep you from digging in a giant black hole. Unclip the center vegan leather pocket from the D rings on either side and attach your skinny bag strap (included with your purchase) and you are ready to go with a small crossbody purse. The Aberdeen is a luxury product made with premium quality materials and each bag is sold with a 90-day limited warranty.
This product is made by ELKIE & CO. a lifestyle brand for moms and women in all stages of life. They sell high-quality bags and accessories made with premium cruelty-free vegan leather called Microfiber. Microfiber leather is the most eco-friendly of all leather alternatives created without any harmful chemicals or substances.
It has a lot of similar characteristics to natural leather, however better physical & chemical performance. Because of its superior performance, it will not scratch, peel, tear, chip, or fade over time. It is also the lightest weight of all real and faux leather options, creating a lightweight bag. Microfiber outperforms typical PU leather as well as real leather. Its durability is incredible and it is what this brand is known for.
This brand was born when the owner and founder, Charlotte Evans, after having four girls and having gone through a lot of bags realized none of them had the style, function, or durability she wanted.
She noticed that the bags she was using looked cute from the outside but after a few months of use with four kids under five the interior of her diaper bag was disgusting so, she designed a bag with a removable interior lining that could be washed; that was the start of ELKIE & CO. The launch of “The Aberdeen” was wildly successful and still to this day is their best-selling bag.
ELKIE was inspired by her daughters: (E)mma (L)ydia, (K)ate, and (I)vy (E)vans. Three years after ELKIE was established, they had a baby boy, Wills! They live in Kansas and do everything from design to packaging from their basement which they have converted into their warehouse.

Amazing product. Gorgeous. Great quality.

This is my favorite item that I have gotten! I absolutely hated my first diaper bag. They are clunky, ugly and I always struggled with them. With this baby I wanted to treat myself and boy did I choose right! The versatility in how you carry it, the inside has soooo much space and being able to clean the inside liner it a game changer!
This is by far a 5 star diaper bag! Plus allows me my own pouch where I still have my items as well as babies!
Definitely add this to your must haves list!!
Lindsay (verified owner) –
Absolutely the best mom bag I’ve ever used. I’m thrilled with the purchase and we’ll worth the money.
Jacqueline (verified owner) –
This bag is EXACTLY what I was looking for and, it was EXACTLY what I expected based on the pictures and description! Well done!!

I love everything about this bag! It is the perfect size and all the pockets are so wonderful to help keep me organized. This was def a must have item! I also love that I can use it as my diaper bag or my work bag!
Sarah (verified owner) –
This bag is well made and beautiful. I use it as an everyday bag. The lining is thick and I love the internal organization it provides. I bought this bag with the intention of wearing it mostly as a backpack. I do a lot of daily walking.
Sabrina (verified owner) –
Super great quality, love the versatility and really cute! I love when a bag can unzip the inside to wash, i have a huge backpack diaper bag like that and I was so excited to find something like it in a large, vegan leather tote for when I don’t need to pack for the entire day or over night. I’m an over packer so this bag works well for me when i need to pack for a short trip up to like 8-10 hours, my other bag is for longer just because I cloth diaper so they take up more room in the bag. The inside bag is also perfect so now all my things have a place, not just all over the bag.

Main reason I went with this bag was for the removable liner because keys be honest we throw everything in our bags/purse and usually end up with a mess at some point but now I can just unzip and wash. I also love the crossbody that works as a divider and can carry if I’m just making a quick run without the kiddos or something. This bag is also for anybody that likes an organized bag with lots of pockets but just moms.
Savannah (verified owner) –
I love this bag so much that I have it in multiple colors. I use it as a work bag and also as a diaper bag when I’m on the go with my LO.
Charis (verified owner) –
Love that it comes with the smaller purse to downsize with! Great purchase!
Keri Wallace (verified owner) –
If you’re debating buying, just do it. 10/10 so far, so glad I purchased this bag. I now use it as a diaper bag, purse(s), and work bag. Great quality and so spacious, first bag I’ve ever carried that actually seemed organized finally!!
Cassie (verified owner) –
Bought as a gift for my daughter.
Anne (verified owner) –
I am a professional organizer. I was looking for a daily go to bag that held everything I needed but looked nice. Obviously as an organizer I wanted pockets so everything had a place to “live” and I could easily find what I was looking for. This bag fills all of those requirements! I also really love the length of the straps!
Karlie (verified owner) –
Love my bag!! Fits everything we need to go out and about with our toddler and baby!
Michelle (verified owner) –
This diaper bag is amazing! I love all the pockets and the “mom bag” in the middle. It’s going to be perfect this year for the weddings we have on the calendar – fashionable diaper bag that doesn’t look like a diaper bag and an easy-to-remove small bag for things like wallet, phone, chapstick, etc. It holds everything with ease – we cloth diaper and there’s plenty of room. The vegan leather is the nicest I’ve ever felt – I probably wouldn’t know it wasn’t leather if it weren’t for the information on the website. All around great purchase!
Sara (verified owner) –
Love the bag! Good size to carry everything, love the crossbody that can be connected inside for all the mama things! Only downfalls to me are the weight and the bag kind of smells due to it being vegan leather. But overall, perfect bag!

It’s been a week of using my Elkie and I love it so far! I have a 4 year old and a baby. There are LOTS of pockets on the inside and handy pockets on the outside. I can fit my 13″ laptop along with 3 water bottles, diapers, wipes, and snacks with plenty of room to spare. What I’m loving so far (and why I bought this bag) is how I can use it as a tote or throw it over my shoulder as a backpack. I have two very active boys and this helps when I need two hands free. I wanted a bag that fit all my work and home life needs so I wouldn’t have to keep switching bags. This is perfect!
Mallory (verified owner) –
I’m so happy with this beautiful bag! With 4 kids and 2 part time jobs this is the perfect bag! I haven’t had to change purses since I got it!
Amy (verified owner) –
I bought this bag for my daughter who requested it for her birthday. She absolutely LOVES it!! Such amazing quality and beautiful design. I got her two liners because she couldn’t decide on just one.
I may have to purchase one of these for myself. My daughter doesn’t even have children yet but wanted it for a carry-on. Great idea!!
Hanna (verified owner) –
Loving this bag so far!! It feels like it will hold up well! I love that I have a combo bag that offers variety in how it can be carried, keeping my hands more free!
Courtney (verified owner) –
Mary Poppins herself could not have designed a better bag! I’m a notorious over packer since I work long hours & I initially bought this bag for the removal liner. It fits a ton but the pockets keep things organized & easy to find while making the bag not appear outwardly bulky.
Katie (verified owner) –
I’m OBSESSED with this bag it’s the perfect color and I love the fact it won’t feel like I’m carrying around a diaper bag! Bragging to all my soon to be mamas about shopping small with ELKIE
Savannah (verified owner) –
This Aberdeen bag is exceptional! There is plenty of room to store all of baby and mama’s needs without compromising a seamless chic style!
I would recommend this bag 10/10!

This bag is seriously amazing. I have gosh I think like 60 handbags. Most baby bags because I love pockets. But my Aberdeen tote is seriously one of my favorites. It feels so sturdy and well made. The stitching is perfect and the bag just feels luxe. It holds everything I need. I love the mini bag it comes with. It’s where I stash my wallet and keys. The zipper is one of the best zippers I’ve ever had on a bag. I ordered another lining for it I love it so much. Take it from someone who owns everything from LYMIA Brand, to Kerikit, to Jujube, and Mulberry. You need this bag in your life. You will not regret this one.
