Wanted: A "girlie" or even "purse like" camera bag.

Found this link:

A variety of different bags shown (some are rather small). All girlie.

I bookmarked the link. Did you just set those in the bag or secure them? If so, how?

I'm still leaning strongly to the Epiphanie bag, though. And, if I find a coupon code then...well...timber!

I just set it in the bag. I guess you could put some velcro on the inside of teh bag so it would stay, but with the weight of the other stuff it's not an issue.

Very pretty. But...the price is twice that of the Epiphanie. But since the ONA is leather, I'm guessing it would last longer.

I've just recently ordered the Epiphanie bag. I had never heard of the Ona brand but it's out of my price range.

I did find the Kelly Moore bags in my research but I think they look a little to "grandma-ish" for my taste. I also read about them not closing when they are loaded.

A diaper bag makes a good camera bag. Put inserts inside and you're good to go.

But that looks like a diaper bag, which is worse than looking like camera bag in my opinion. Diaper bags are even less sexy. They are super-sweet when there is an actual baby around, but I'd feel super lame-o with one without a baby.

Mum said she'd gift me an Epiphanie! Woo-Hoo!

Congrats on the Epiphanie! I think I may 'gift' one of those to myself by the end of the summer! They are so Cute! Thanks to everyone who made recommendations to the forum, I have been so stuck on trying to find something that I love and want to carry around, I've been using my school bag, but am hesitant to carry my spare lens in it because there is no extra padding.

Unfortunately, the one I want is on backorder (still). I want the Belle, but I might transfer my love to Lola bc of the wait.... O, decisions!

I've been looking for a bag to take out with me to the pub, to casual dinner, to friends' houses and just generally when I want a camera but don't want to drag everything with me and want a bag that doesn't scream camera and that isn't too big. I wanted something that was reasonably "fashionable". I wanted it for my 1DIII so that narrowed the field even more. I also didn't want to spend another fortune as i already have a kelly moore bag and about 20 others. Today I wandered through our local surf store and found a RipCurl bag that does the trick for about $50. I'll mod the inside a tiny bit probably to add a little bottom padding and maybe so I can pop a divider in, but really it's good to go as is.

The images on their web sites suck - they make it look like a shiny plastic pos with an eye-hurting colour. In real life it's red, matte finish and feels good.
