Kinley's Kloset















I recently received a travel wipes case from www.ilovekinley.etsy.com . I assumed that it would be like every other wipes case that I have ever had, but boy was I wrong! When I opened the package the first thing that I noticed was the quality and craftmanship that went into making this case. It is padded, soft to the touch, and well embellished. It was also obvious that Amber had spent a good bit of time picking out fabric and ribbon that coordinate with each other very well. I opened the case to inspect the inside and what do you know - she had even included wipes! Being very pleased with the product I decided to give it the final test, I let my children play with it. Anyone with three kids knows what kind of damage they can do in a short amount of time. After about an hour I retrieved the case and to my surprise it still looked brand new! My boys have managed to rip some of these cases in half in less than ten minutes before. Of course they are also quite good at tearing off fabric, ribbons, and anything else that catches their eye. Believe me, if this case can stand an hour with my kids, it can withstand an eternity in a diaper bag.

I only had one dilemna. My six year old daughter fell in love with the case and I couldn't pry it away from her. I had to stop and think how I was going to get it away from her, then it struck me. Instead of taking it away from her I would make it hers. She has no need for a wipes case so I took the wipes out and put her crayons in instead. It is the perfect size to fit a small box of crayons and a couple of folded coloring pages. Now my daughter has a beautiful coloring case that she can take with her anytime that we get in the car. Sometimes, when we go to the store, my daughter will put her coloring stuff up and put her allowance money in the case instead, making it a perfect wallet for her. This is such a wonderful and versatile product. I highly recommend ILoveKinely to anyone with a baby. Even if your baby is grown, think of all the wonderful things that your child could use this wondeful case for.
