I love, love, love Jujube bags! They can be found here on their official website https://www.ju-ju-be.com/ as well as various online and brick-and-mortar retailers across the globe. Our local Philippine retailer is https://www.ceoemporium.com. This is owned and operated by Candy Establecida-Oanes, a very nice online mommy friend and babywearing (Tula) lover too.
The first thing you need to know is Jujube is that they have a lot of different diaper styles to suit your needs. Here’s a quick run through of their current bestselling bags at the moment, not including the new ones and the old ones that have been phased out:
- Be Prepared – their largest structured diaper bag. I haven’t tried this particular style yet nor do I have any plans of ever purchasing this unless I have 3+ kids who are all in cloth. This diaper bag is HUGE! And considering that strollers aren’t all that useful in the Philippines, you’d have to lug this gigantic bag around on your shoulders WHILE babywearing or holding on to your child. Maybe this would be a great traveling bag or a car bag, but as an actual on-the-go diaper bag, I am not tempted to get one at all.
- Be Right Back (BRB) – I am expecting my first BRB to arrive sometime this week. I will write a review about this later.
- BFF – I recently destashed our BFF (in the Navigator print). I will write a separate review on this bag later. I regret not making a packing review/video =(
- Be Sporty – I am expecting my first Be Sporty later today. But basically it’s slightly bigger than a Mini Be and packs like a Be Light but has a backpack flap. Also, it has nice durable zippers too.
- Mini Be – I love this bag! This is the most coveted of all Jujube bags because they don’t make as many and both parents and kiddos want this! It’s so cute but it holds a lot!
- Super Star/Starlet – These are the duffel-style diaper bags. I will be receiving my first Starlet later. This looks like a great workout bag. For when I will one day get off my lazy butt and go back to the gym XD
- Super Be – This bag is a large tote bag. You can use it as a diaper bag, a gym bag, a beach bag, a shopping bag, an overnight bag, etc. This bag packs a lot but it can get a bit heavy on your shoulder, considering that the strap is not padded.
- Be Light – The Be Light is the perfect tote bag – you can use it for work, for casual days, strolling at the mall, keeping a few of baby’s essentials, working out, and even for the beach! You can also roll it up and keep it inside your bag so you have another spare bag with you when you need to go shopping. This bag is so versatile and handy, but very sturdy and well built. Also, you can attach a strap to it for wearing it crossbody.
- Hobo Be – Mommies love this as a purse. I have this in Kaiju City and The Empress and I think they are great as a purse, especially considering that the strap has a memory foam pad on it and it has bottle pockets too.
- Fuel Cell – This little baby is an insulated bottle/snack bag. It’s tiny but it’s very handy! You can fit in an SSC, bottles, snacks, or even use it as a pump bag. Other moms like to use these bags as travel organizers too.
- Be Set – This is a set of three tiny pouches – the large set piece, the medium set piece, and the small set piece. The large set piece comes with a long strap so it can be worn like a mini sling bag, while the medium set piece comes with a short strap and can be used like a wristlet. The set is very versatile and you can put whatever you want in it and use it however you please. I have several Be Sets and I find a lot of use for them.
- Be Quick – This is Jujube’s wristlet. It’s fantastic as a diaper bag for quick changes because you can fit in 1-2 cloth diapers, your wipes, your nappy cream, and whatever else you need for quick changes. You can also attach a strap on it and it makes a very cute sling bag too.
I kept telling myself earlier this year that they are JUST diaper bags and they are waaaay overpriced! My mommy friend Donnat ordered some Jujube’s through another mommy friend Ara and then I was intrigued. Then I noticed there were TOKIDOKI prints!
My love affair with tokidoki began sometime in college maybe in 2004 or 2005. The brand was fairly new and I had only seen it online, since the brand wasn’t readily available locally.
Anyway, going back to Jujube, I ordered my first Tokidoki prints from Ara – an Animalini Be Light and a Donutella’s Sweet Shop Super Be. I was lucky enough to get these bags at RETAIL PRICE (as opposed to MARKET VALUE which is what the bags usually go for on the B/S/T’s due to the limited quantity of the Tokidoki prints). After getting these two bags and loving them, I ordered another Space Place Be Set from Ara and a Space Place Mini Be and Fuel Cell from Candy and the rest is history.
The latest launch was a few days ago, on November 15. It was the Unikiki 2.0 print which is absolutely GORGEOUS.
I wonder what the next Jujube x Tokidoki print will be? 🙂
