Petunia Pickle Bottom New Fall 2012 Collection & Boxy Backpack Updates {Giveaway}

Fall 2012 Petunia Pickle Bottom Prints

Petunia Pickle Bottom is, no doubt, known for its gorgeous prints. The brand somehow manages to walk the perfect balance of colorful and elegant, ornate and graceful. The new fall 2012 prints are no different and will be the highlight of your ensemble no matter what you’re wearing. Check out all the new Boxy Backpack prints at petunia.com and see a few of our favorites here.

Boxy Backpack Improvements

We love this update to Petunia Pickle Bottom’s most popular bag, the Boxy Backpack. Access to the main compartment of the bag is now through whisper-quiet magnetic closure, replacing the older model’s velcro. This is a much-needed improvement to the Boxy Backpack as the velcro is surprisingly loud. We think the magnetic closure combined with new snaps for added security maintain the sleek feel of the bag. Another new addition? The new metal logo plate on the front of the bag.

The Boxy Backpack maintains the features we love most:

• Wear as a hands-free backpack or with long messenger strap
• Built-in changing station with detachable changing pad
• 2 large diaper/wipes pockets
• 4 bottle pockets
• 2 organizational pockets
• Small pacifier pocket
• Detachable dirty diaper pouch
• “No more digging” key clip
• Water-resistant liner
• PPB monogrammed wipes case

If, like us, you love the idea of the new magnetic closure, Petunia has you covered. Hush Velcro Silencer is a new accessory to transform your original Boxy Backpack from a velcro closure to a quiet snap closure. It’s available for only $19, a good investment in your beloved Petunia if you ask us.
