epiphanie Camera Bags for Women

It’s been a long time coming, but I recently was finally able to swing purchasing a DSLR camera. Being a new camera mommy I am very overprotective of my ~~baby~~ investment. While searching for a way to safely transport my camera to NYC this August to BlogHer ‘12 I ran across epiphanie Camera Bags for women. I spent quite a bit of time browsing their website and excitedly emailed them about their Clover bag in teal.

I was over the moon when epiphanie agreed to be my camera bag sponsor for BlogHer (THANK YOU epiphanie!). My box arrived quickly and I was greeted with a branded protective bag over my camera bag.

I wish I had someone video taping me when I opened the protective bag so you could hear the gasping sound I made. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but this bag blew me out of the water. I am normally a pink or green kind of gal, but I was fairly sure I didn’t have the attitude to rock the hot pink bag and green wasn’t an option. I was happy that their shade of blue was teal as it gives off a slight hint of green.

The interior is sufficiently padded with adjustable sections and includes a zippered pocket and top zipper closure. Moving the sections was a little bit of a challenge for me because the velcro was so strong, but that actually is an asset because you don’t want it to give way when you have your camera out and only a few lenses in the bag.

The exterior is made of a high quality synthetic leather. I had to double check this fact because it looks that nice. The braided straps are extra thick for comfort on your shoulders and strength to carry the weight of a loaded bag. The bag also comes with a cross-body strap with extra padding at the top that attaches to the loops on each end of the bag. There are two exterior pockets with one of them being zippered. These are great for items that you want quick easy access to. The little camera key chain attached is an adorable added touch. I have already been asked where I got it and begged by another person to give it to them (nope! it’s mine .

I’m sure you are thinking, “How much does it really hold?”. I call this my Mary Poppins bag because it feels like I can carry everything but the kitchen sink in here! I have a 15” MacBook Pro with cord, a cordless mouse, a Nikon DSLR with lens attached, 2 extra lenses, my wallet, keys and there is still room for more if I needed it. I haven’t even utilized the pockets yet!

I never thought a camera bag could be beautiful and more than adequately functional at the same time. epiphanie Camera Bags are just that!

They combine fashion, function and comfort for the ultimate camera + laptop bag!

I am in big puffy heart love with my new epiphanie Clover Camera + Laptop Bag!
