Camera Bag Search Part 1

Whenever I read forums to look for a woman’s bag suggestions The Kelly Moore Bags constantly come up. I like the look of The Classic bag the best. It looks just like a purse I would carry normally.
 I don’t know what the material is like but it is a water resistant man made material.  From the picture it looks a lot like leather.
 It claims to hold a camera body, flash, 2-4 lenses, cords, phone, keys, wallet, and batteries, with 2 magnetic snap pockets on the front, 2 side pockets, and 1 large back zipper pocket which can hold an iPad.
 It has the long shoulder strap to wear across the body and snaps along the top to close.
 It comes in many colors. I love the Rich Fuchsia I posted above!
 Dimensions: 16” x 11” x 4”
 $199

Another bag company that often pops up in online conversations is Epiphanie Bags.  These are also really nice looking bags, similar to the the Kelly Moore Bags.  Both bags are designed by female photographers because they were not satisfied by the market for female camera bags.
The Clover bag is the one I featured above.  I like this one the best because it has a shoulder strap in addition to the hand straps.  It has a zipper on top to close.
The material is water-resistant synthetic leather and the inside is soft felt.
The bag claims it can hold: 1 15” macbook pro with battery cord,1 camera body with lens attached,1 long lens, 2 extra lenses, wallet, keys, cell phone, and other miscellaneous personal items.
It comes in three colors: gray, turquoise, pink.  I think I like the turquoise the best, but I’m not sure it’ll work with my wardrobe.
Dimensions: 18” x 13” x 6.25”

I do have to say that I tried to purchase the red Lola bag previously, but I had to return it because I ended up not feeling like I could spend so much money on a camera bag when I didn’t fall in love with it.

This one is a little different. It’s not really what I am looking for, but it looks great for a travel bag and it’s pretty cheap. I would have loved something like this for my trip to Tokyo two years ago. Lowepro makes professional camera bags and this is considered their unisex small travel bag.
It holds: DSLR with zoom lens attached, one extra lens or flash, memory card and plenty of room for personal items. There are outside pockets that are not fastened and two inside flaps for a phone. There is also a zippered expandable section, but it is not padded. The camera box is removable and has a little pocket for an extra memory card.
It comes in three colors: black, blue sky, and mica. I think the black is the most practical.
