Most women photographers complain about one common thing...finding a stylish camera bag, large enough to hold a DSLR and a few lenses, yet still fashionable. Many designers have neglected this area of the market place, opting for standard, clunky, black camera bags.
I set out on a search for a cuter camera bag over a year ago and ended up with a Crumpler 5 Million Dollar Home bag. I can't say it is necessarily fashionable or stylish, but it fits the bill as being different from the ugly black camera bags that are so commonplace.
Thankfully, some clever professional photographers have begun realizing the gap in the market and started designing much nicer bags aimed towards women photographers.
I'm going to begin featuring some of these bags in upcoming blogs. Today I'd like to introduce you all to the Epiphanie Bags!
Epiphanie Bags are the brain child of Maile Wilson, a professional photographer. Right now she offers three designs: Ginger (brown), Belle (teal), and Lola (red). They retail for $164.99 and are absolutely adorable! Carry one of these and no one will know you're packing some serious camera gear inside! They look just like a cute purse and all offer an optional cross-body strap, which I find incredibly convenient when really doing some serious shooting. They also feature a zipper opening on the top which comes as a relief to me, after dealing with the annoying Crumpler flap for far too long!
I'm eyeing the Ginger bag! Check out the Epiphanie Bags at this link http://www.epiphaniebags.com/ and place your order soon before they sell out!
