Fleurville redesigned their popular Mothership, but pictures have been a bit hard to find. I thought I would share some pics and thoughts on the Next Generation Mothership MS3 in case it helps anyone searching out there.
The Cocoa Stripes pattern is really nice. The dark chocolate brown color compliments the pattern nicely. The flap is secured with a turnlock closure.
The MS3 is larger than I envisioned it, which is actually nice. It will hold more than their Sling Tote, but is not too large. It measures L 14.5” x H 12” x D 5”.
A shot from the top. There is a slip pocket on the rear of the bag that fits a medium sized Lexie Barnes Mini perfectly.
The interior of the MS3 has some nice features: a full length pocket along the back of the bag, two smaller elasticized pockets along the front, a changing pad, a carabiner clip for keys, and see through wipes case.
The D-rings for the stroller attachment can also be seen.
The front of the bag features a larger pocket that easily fits my full length wallet. There is also a small zippered pocket above that for cell phone, keys, or other items you want to ensure are secure. Both of these pockets are securely covered by the flap when closed.
A very nice improvement to the Next Generation MS3 is the zippered bottle holder that neatly zips up one side of the bag. The other side of the bag is plain.
The MS3 also includes the Slipknot Universal Stroller Attachment System, which is a $17.95 value.
The drop on the MS3 is long enough so you can wear it messenger style if you desire. I am 5'7" for reference.
The strap on the MS3 can also be adjusted so it can be worn on the shoulder.
Side shot while shortened...
Fully extended worn at the side.
How does the Fleurville MS3 compare to the Ju-Ju-Be Be All? As you can see, it is a bit taller, but...
not as deep. Make of that what you want. :) Each has its own benefits in my opinion.
The price tag on the MS3 is quite appealing for a bag with these features, the varied carrying options, and the amount it can carry. The fabric can be wiped down for easy cleaning as well. The MS3 retails for roughly $89, but you can save 15% at Little Dudes and Divas with this coupon code.
What are you thoughts? I would love to hear them!
(Disclosure: I was not asked to review this bag nor given this bag to review. My thoughts are just that...from one bagophile to another.

Thanks for the review! I have been looking for more detailed pics of the new MS... I currently have the Lexi and find it is a bit small for all day trips with an infant- we carried 2 diaper bags for the holidays! (one for feeding, one for changing-ugh!) Thanks again!
Hey Melissa - Thanks for stopping in. I wanted to let you know that I am selling this MS3. It still has the tags. Just in case you have any interest. :) Amy
Amy- Thanks for the offer, but I am looking at another pattern... I am just glad to see the interior photos and how it looks on a person! In your opinion, is the ms3 much bigger than the lexi tote? Any thoughts on a good sized bag for all day trips with an infant? Thanks again for your insight on this bag... this is the only site where I have found good pics and a good review! :) Melissa
Awww - thanks Melissa! That makes it all worth it. :) I would say it is about the same size as the Lexie but feels less bulky. My fave diaper bags are Ju-Ju-Be's. The Be All or Between are great depending on what you pack. If you pack a lot, the Packabe or Be Prepared are wonderful. You can check them out here:

Let me know what you choose! :)
Thanks again for the help, Amy. I never knew searching for the perfect diaper bag would be such a chore! lol!!! ;) So, if I already have a Lexi, it sounds like the MS3 would not help. For the holidays, or just a long day trip, I have packed 3-4 bottles, 5-6 diapers, two outfits, a blanket, two burp cloths, pacifiers, formula, bibs, wipes, and some little odds and ends for me so I don't have to carry my purse! (Just a camera, phone, and lip balm) Anyway- those things did not fit in the Lexi without over stuffing it, and then I couldn't find anything in it! So, we carried 2 bags. Ugh. My daughter is only two months old (as of yesterday!) and I am still getting used to this mommy thing... Any thoughts as to easier packing/traveling, and the diaper bag situation? What do you like about Ju-Ju-Be vs. Fleurville? Thanks!
Thanks a bunch for the pictures and review. It was very helpful! I am also grateful for the discount code for Little Dudes & Divas. They were having a great sale on some other items too, so I really made out well.
Awesome! Love hearing happiness! :)
Gorgeous bag Amy, loved the review (as usual!!)
