FAQ

OUR COMPANY & OUR BAGS

How did Lily Jade get started?

Lily Jade was birthed out of a need not only for stylish diaper bags but also as means to reach the hearts of women all over the world. During what I call a "hidden season" of raising babies and then homeschooling my two little girls, I was actually living among one of the greatest focus groups in the world, mommies. Friends, YOU are my inspiration. Little did I know that our need for a better diaper bag would create opportunities to love and encourage women from all walks of life! My husband, Landon, encouraged my ideas, teamed up with me, and together we’ve seen Lily Jade grow. We are grateful for every one of you who have supported us since 2013. We wouldn’t be here without you. Welcome to the Lily Jade family.

What’s so special about Lily Jade?

More Than Just A Bag: Your diaper bag dollars go the distance to help moms all across the globe. Lily Jade believes in elevating the life-giving, more-challenging-than-you-ever-imaged, glory-filled role of motherhood!

#LJadoption: Your Lily Jade purchases bless families committed to adoption! This is dear to our hearts and we are passionate about championing the women involved in this path. Birth mothers, foster mothers and adoptive mommas need us to cheer them on! Because you shop at Lily Jade, we can regularly bless these families through charitable contributions, giveaways and community support.

Embrace Grace: We partner with Embrace Grace to provide loving and practical resources for women with unplanned pregnancies. Hosting baby showers is one of the many ways Lily Jade connects you to these ladies. Your investment helps moms you may never meet, clothe a baby you may never kiss, and creates hope and lasting friendships that nurture hearts for a lifetime.

Why the name Lily Jade?

The name Lily Jade is synonymous with the heart of the a mother. Our hearts are soft like a Lily and strong like a Jade. The "Lily" comes from my niece Lily. Also, known as "Lily Pie." This little girl has stolen the heart of our family! The "Jade" comes from my mother’s love for jade jewelry. Both of my sisters were adopted, and I was the "big surprise." My middle sister, Lorie, was adopted from the Philippines where my family lived for several years. My precious mom returned from Asia with jade and other unique Asian artisan jewelry which she still wears proudly. Growing up, I thought her jade jewelry was “different,” but she joyfully explained these were her "diamonds" and her "greatest treasures." Now, as a mommy to two little girls, I understand the sweet memories and love that those “treasures” represent.

Why should I spend that much on a diaper bag?

That’s a fair question. Lily Jade bags are built to last “baby and beyond,” which makes them a wise investment for years to come. We have purposefully designed these high-quality bags to serve two functions: practical diaper bag AND drop-dead gorgeous purse. It’s two bags (and a backpack!) for the price of one, and many of our customers are still carrying their beloved Lily Jade bags well after their children are out of the toddler years!

Cheaper diaper bags can fall apart due to poor construction and inferior materials. They gather dust at the back of the closet because there aren’t enough pockets (that are the right size!) to be actually useful. They can be uncomfortable or inconvenient to carry as you’re chasing after your little ones or running errands. Even if a diaper bag survives all that, it’s discarded as soon as the diaper days are over because you’re so relieved to go back to your beautiful “real” handbag that isn’t quilted and/or covered in pastel flowers.

At Lily Jade, we wanted to create something that would solve ALL of those problems. Striking the perfect balance between function and elegance, your Lily Jade bag is expertly crafted using stunningly supple full-grain leather and top of the line hardware, and comes with our signature 12-pocket “Baby Bag” organizer. This removable insert is easily removable (perfect for handing to grandma when you drop the kiddos off before date night!) and machine washable. We stand behind our bags with a warranty and superior customer service.

Sometimes, the right tools for the job cost a bit more up front. You wouldn’t start an automotive job or an IT task without the proper equipment, right? So why would you approach motherhood any differently?

Still not convinced? Take a look at what our friend Kendra wrote about her Lily Jade costing her just 32 cents a day. If one of our flawless full-grain leather bags is still out of your price range, take a look at our canvas bags or check out the outlet section where we periodically sell bags with minor cosmetic blemishes. Or stay tuned to our social media channels and sign up for our email newsletter to be the first to know about upcoming sales and promos!

Is there someplace I can see Lily Jade bags in person?

As of right now, we only sell our bags online so that we can keep our prices as low as possible for our customers. We suggest taking a look around our social media channels (like InstagramFacebookPinterest, or YouTube) to see our lovely bags as “in person” as the internet will allow!

We also sometimes have special in person “pop up shop” events that are around the country, which will be periodically announced on social media. If you aren’t happy with your bag after it arrives, we do have a 30 day return/exchange policy as long as the original bag is in new/unused condition.

Where is Lily Jade located?

Lily Jade is proudly based out of San Antonio, Texas! Some of our other amazing team members work remotely from other locations in the USA. Your gorgeous bag will ship from one our fulfillment centers located both inside and outside of Texas.

Will my bag be the exact same color as what I see online?

We hope it will be pretty close! Due to differences in screen settings and photography lighting, we cannot guarantee that the color you see online will be the exact shade of your Lily Jade bag once it arrives. Take a peek at our InstagramFacebookPinterest, and YouTube pages to get a better idea of what our bags look like in action!

Which of your bags is the largest?

All of our bags are built with the needs of motherhood in mind, but we do offer a variety of sizes because we know that motherhood looks different for everyone! Measuring by internal volume, the Jennifer is certainly the largest of the bags. The other bags are very similar in volume, but here is the list from largest to smallest: Jennifer, Meggan, Large Anna, Caroline, , Elizabeth, Madeline, Shaylee, Medium Anna and Crossbody Wristlet. The Jennifer, Meggan, Large Anna, and Caroline are fantastically large bags, perfect for moms with multiple small children. The Elizabeth has a wide and long base, which is balanced by a shorter height, making it a great fit for those who prefer a more oblong shape. The Madeline and Shaylee are both superb, deep medium-sized totes with rectangular shapes, but the Madeline is a smidge wider while the Shaylee is slightly taller. The medium Anna can hold ALL the things and still be compact. The Crossbody Wristlet is great for date night or to toss in your bigger bag for quick trips.

Finding the right size of Lily Jade bag for you really does come down to your personal preferences. One thing we guarantee is that our styles are not a quickly passing trend. Each bag will still be sleek and stylish 10 years from now. Classic, functional, and 100% exquisite full grain leather never goes out of style. And our faux (vegan) leather is engineered to outlast traditional faux leather bags.

To get an even better idea of how big a certain bag is, take a look around our InstagramFacebook, or Pinterest.  

Which of your bags is best for cloth diapering?

All of our leather and nylon bags are great cloth diapering options, thanks to their size. You’ll be able to pack more in a Lily Jade, because you can access and organize it better when paired with our Baby Bag Organizer or a set of our Signature Packing Cases.  Many cloth diapering moms and those with more than one little often prefer the Meggan for its extra generous capacity. It really does come down to personal preference and priority, as everyone has different needs and different packing styles!

You can also take a look around our InstagramFacebookPinterest, and/or YouTube pages to get a better idea of what our bags look like.

Which bags can hold a 15” laptop?

Lily Jade bags are great companions for the working woman! A 15” laptop fits comfortably in many of our bags, including Anna in large, Caroline

Madeline, Meggan, Shaylee, Rosie, Jennifer, Lorie, Cailin, and the Ann Marie

I don’t have children. Is a Lily Jade bag still for me?

Unequivocally, the answer is YES! Lily Jade bags aren’t reserved for motherhood alone. We have women who love our bags simply because they are so gorgeous and offer such unparalleled organization! We have entrepreneurs, social workers, photographers, bloggers, knitters, and everyone in-between who use our bags. The removable insert also makes a great organizer for craft supplies! If you are a mom, rest assured that this bag was designed to be your trusty sidekick for baby and beyond.

Does Lily Jade accept custom orders?

We genuinely enjoy hearing different color/style/lining/hardware combination ideas from our creative customers! We are always listening to your comments and ideas, and some of our new colors and products have come directly from customer requests and feedback. At this time we're unable to fulfill custom orders due to limitations in our manufacturing process, so please us your suggestions at support@lily-jade.com!

To be the first to know about upcoming product releases and new color combinations, sign up for our email newsletter and make sure you’re following us on social media!

Are Lily Jade bags waterproof?

Our leather bags are pretreated with a finish that resists water, so they are considered water resistant. If you live in an area with lots of wet weather you may want to consider applying a protectant occasionally like the Collonil Waterstop Spray. As with any leather, lightly conditioning every two or three months with a superb natural based product like Sedgewick’s leather conditioner will keep your bag in top shape will also assist in protecting the bag from the elements.

Where does your leather come from?

The leather on our bags comes from cow hides sourced primarily from North and South America. The finishing process is applied at select tanneries from around the world. Most of our current production is finished at a tannery in New York. These hides are a byproduct of the beef industry.

Tell me about the safety of your materials.

Because your Lily Jade will be spending a lot of time around your precious little one, we definitely understand wanting to know the materials it contains! The factory where our bags are produced complies with REACH Standards. Here are the materials that are NOT used in or on our bags: Lead, Phthalates, Flame Retardants, Polyurethane, BPA. Additionally, there is no PVC on the exterior of our bags. There may be a plastic insert sewn into the bottom to add structure, but this is not exposed. Our leather is chrome tanned, but we use Chromium 3 or less. Chrome 6 is the bad one, and we don’t use it.

Where are your bags made and are they produced ethically?

Great question! Our bag materials are sourced worldwide. For example, much of our leather currently comes from New York. Final assembly happens in our factory in China. Our founders, Landon and Meggan Wood, travel frequently to the factory to ensure the bags are being produced in a healthy environment. We chose this factory because it's well established, shares our view of ethical business practices, and has been a family run business for over 20 years. They hire artisans who are experts in their craft, and it requires higher wages to bring in and retain those quality craftsmen.

Tell me about your Outlet selection.

Our Outlet section is one of our best-kept secrets! It contains discounted bags that didn’t pass our rigorous cosmetic inspection, but still, qualify for our 1-year structural warranty. They may have a nick or two on the leather, a minor stitching mistake, or a slightly discolored spot in the leather. These are minor cosmetic blemishes that do not affect the structural integrity of the bag. Many customers can’t even spot the difference!

Outlet bags are added as they become available, so we cannot predict when they will be added to our inventory. Outlet bags still come with our 1-year structural warranty, but please be aware that cosmetic differences are part of the charm of our outlet bags.

Please see below for warranty details regarding designs qualifying for Outlet Sales;

An outlet is a bag that didn’t pass our rigorous cosmetic inspection but still qualifies for a 1-year structural warranty.

Many customers can’t even spot the difference!We believe in stress-free shopping: Worried an outlet may not be for you? That’s okay, you may return a new and unused outlet bag up to 10 days after you receive it.

Does Lily Jade ever donate a bag to a mom who is going through a difficult time in her life?

It is one of our greatest joys as a company to encourage women who find themselves in challenging seasons of life and motherhood! We do have several programs where we donate bags to moms. One way is through our social channels, primarily Instagram. We also periodically do giveaways with other like-minded brands.

Because of the high volume of requests for donated bags, we decided to do a monthly giveaway on Instagram that allows moms to nominate other moms who are walking through difficult seasons to WIN a donated bag. We have an incredible marketing team that thoughtfully creates campaigns highlighting women cheering on other women.

We want to be fair and maintain a culture of honor with our customers and followers, so at this time our monthly Instagram campaign is the only avenue through which we donate bags to individuals. Please jump in and share your story or the story of another woman you know there!

BAG CARE

How do I make the knot tie in the backpack strap?

To see how to anchor your strap so you can use your Lily Jade as a backpack, check out this 45-second video!

I just bought a Lily Jade. What should I do to make sure that it lasts?

Great question! Your leather bag has a water resistant treatment that helps it to resisting water damage and staining. While it’s certainly not necessary to treat and condition your bag, we highly recommend it! Giving your Lily Jade a bit of love every few months will go a long ways to making sure it stays beautiful for years to come. We’ve tested many, many products on our bags, and our favorites are available through our website.

How do I care for/clean my leather Lily Jade Bag?

Our Old English leather is different however and may be more prone to color transfer if it gets wet. The finish on Old English is natural waxes and oils so "naturally" you can expect it to react and wear differently over time. It is what makes each Old English piece uniquely beautiful. Occasionally water spots may form if an unconditioned bag is exposed to excess water or you may have absorbed a spill. In this case, we recommend a quality leather cleanser followed by a light conditioning with our Sedgwick Leather Conditioner. In fact, if you are concerned about weather or absorbing spills, Sedgwick Leather Conditioner is an excellent water and stain repellent. It also works to replenish the natural oils in a leather bag. Use sparingly as your bag will darken according to the amount of conditioner you apply, but it will leave your Old English with a protective coating that will help prevent water absorption.

How often do I need to apply the products?

For leather, we recommend giving your bag some extra conditioning and love every 3-6 months depending on how much the bag is used and the climate that you live in. 

Something (coffee/diaper rash cream/juice) spilled inside my bag… what should I do?

If you cannot get the stain out by spot-treating with mild soap and warm water, we suggest taking your Lily Jade to a local dry-cleaners and seeing if they can help you!

Can I wash the inner bag?

Yes! The removable inner bag can be washed by hand, or machine washed on cold, gentle cycle, and separate from other items in a lingerie bag. Skip the dryer, line dry only!

Can I wash the changing pad?

Yes! The changing pad can be washed by hand, or machine washed on cold, gentle cycle, and separate from other items in a lingerie bag. Skip the dryer, line dry only!

WARRANTY, EXCHANGES, RETURNS

What is your Warranty Policy?

Lily Jade warrants against manufacturer’s defects for up to 1 year after date of delivery for the original order. If the item cannot be repaired, we will replace it with the same style and color of bag.

If the item cannot be repaired or replaced, we will issue a Store Credit for use on our website in the amount of the original purchase. Please note that irreparable items will not be returned.

To help our customers understand what is NOT covered under our warranty, here is a helpful list:

Leather Wrinkles: full-grain leather is a natural hide that comes from a cow, and sometimes there are natural marks that come from the cow's environment. We view these variations as the natural beauty and uniqueness of the leather, and absolutely normal. Wear and Tear: as you journey through every season of motherhood, bumps and scrapes will inevitably happen...and your Lily Jade is no exception!Accidents: if your child draws on your bag, a strap breaks in a game of tug-o-war, the bag is incorrectly cleaned or treated, something gets spilled on the bag, or any other sort of accidental misuse...Lily Jade does not cover repair or replacement. Lily Jade also does not offer warranty coverage for bags that have been intentionally damaged.

If a warranty claim is made within the first 30 days from the date of delivery for the original order, Lily Jade will provide a return shipping label and ship a replacement bag at no cost. Items returned under our warranty policy for refund must be in "unaltered and reflect limited use condition.”

If a warranty claim is made within the first 90 days from the date of delivery for the original order, Lily Jade will cover the cost of repair and shipping both ways. For warranty claims made after 90 days from the date of delivery for the original order, the customer is responsible to pay for shipping cost to our repair center and Lily Jade will cover the cost of any repair and return shipping. Customers are responsible for all return shipping costs for warranty claims made on final sale and outlet merchandise

What makes a bag new and unused? When you receive a bag from Lily Jade, we encourage you to “try it on."
