WHAT's in my Louis Vuitton neverfull gm- baby edition
As a mom of 2 kids aged 3 and 8 months, I didn't want to give up carrying my never full (which I LOVE). Instead of buying a diaper bag, I ended up repurposing my neverfull GM for work and outings. There are quite a few options out there ranging from purse organizers on Etsy to various packing cubes. I ended up purchasing the Totesavvy Diaper Bag Organizer and the Itzy Ritzy Packing Cubes with the Itzy Ritzy Tag Packing Labels. So let's compare the 2 options......
Itzy Ritzy Packing Cubes, Snack Bags and Tags
The Itzy Ritzy packing cubes come in a pack of 3 different sizes and you can buy tags to attach to your packing cubes if you like to keep things extra organized in your purse. Each of the cubes comes with a mesh panel for easy viewing of contents. The cubes itself comes in a set of 3 ranging in different colors and sizes.
I actually prefer the packing curbs over a purse organizer because whenever I go anywhere, I always have someone with me so I don't have to lug everything with me should I need to go to the bathroom to change my infant daughter's diaper. I love the ease of just grabbing a small packing cube out of my Neverfull GM and let Dad sit with the stroller, bag, and my son. Some of the key features I like with the packing cubes and snack bags are:
What I didn't like about the packing cubes and snack bags:
ToteSavvy Diaper Bag Organizer
The ToteSavvy organizer is a one piece organizer that can slip in and out of a Neverfull MM or Neverfull GM. I recommend the GM size as the MM will be very restrictive as I feel the organizer takes up some space in the bag already. Some of the features of the Totesavvy include the following:
What I didn't like about the ToteSavvy:
All in all, ToteSavvy is a great all around bag organizer for the Neverfull GM. If you like to switch out your purses, this may be the better option. Please note that the diaper changing pad is rather flimsy so I recommend getting a nicer one to throw in your purse.
The WINNER is Itzy Ritzy packing cubes and snack bags!! I just like the separation of items in my large bag. I know my zippy wallet and toiletry 26 is mine and the rest is my daughters. I love the flexibility of being able to just take one thing with me to the bathroom or run in the gas station quickly vs having to take my whole purse.

I love the ease of just grabbing a small packing cube out of my Neverfull GM and let Dad sit with the stroller, bag, and my son. Some of the key features I like with the packing cubes and snack bags are:
- The ability to compartmentalize with less small things floating around in that huge purse
- Taking one individual item out vs having to take the whole bag with you- sometimes those bathrooms are a tight fit and the Neverfull GM isn't exactly compact.
- Easy to wash- you can throw those cubes in the wash and not have any issues
- The snack bags are easy to wash and they are good insulators too... you can get them in a variety of prints and sizes
- The snack bags are food safe, FDA approved, BPA free and they are easy to wash... just throw them in the washer and dryer.
What I didn't like about the packing cubes and snack bags:
- They are pricey- $34.99 for the set of 3 small cubes although I have seen them go down in price on Amazon
ToteSavvy Diaper Bag Organizer
The ToteSavvy organizer is a one piece organizer that can slip in and out of a Neverfull MM or Neverfull GM. I recommend the GM size as the MM will be very restrictive as I feel the organizer takes up some space in the bag already. Some of the features of the Totesavvy include the following:
- Laptop pocket (only fits a small 13" laptop)
- Insulated large pocket
- 8 other various size pockets
- Nylon material for easy cleaning
- Quick and easy switch to other bags
What I didn't like about the ToteSavvy:
- Hard to get into pockets
- Lack of flexibility to take just diapers out for a change
All in all, ToteSavvy is a great all around bag organizer for the Neverfull GM. If you like to switch out your purses, this may be the better option. Please note that the diaper changing pad is rather flimsy so I recommend getting a nicer one to throw in your purse.
