Neo & Nessa was first imagined in 2016 by a fashion-loving mum with a dream (aka Philippa). After three years of juggling family life, two babies, a needy cat, and a job, Philippa stayed true to her dreams of creating her own baby bag and eventually managed to fund the first production run and bring her brand Neo & Nessa to life.

‘Yes there were lots of functional, drab-looking baby bags but there was no thought of the mum in their design. I forked out a lot of money for a change bag I hated at first sight and still had to take a separate handbag out to house my items. I cherished that my identity had changed from ‘Philippa’ to ‘Mummy’ but I had lost my sense of style along the way. I got thinking…why can’t mums have a baby changing bag that is the perfect mix of pretty and practical? A changing bag that is so versatile it can be used with or without the baby and past the toddler years. That’s when I hit upon our Unique Selling Point’ - our two-bags-in-one totes with detachable clutches. We all have a favourite, go-to handbag and cute clutch that we enjoy many an adventure with but they lack the multi-functionality that our lives demand when we have babies in tow. Introducing our bespoke bags that look like a regular tote but act as both a changing bag and a regular handbag/clutch whenever and however you need.’
