We love sharing links to cool camera-related stuff, so I thought I’d blog about a gift I gave my wife for Christmas last week.

She had been wanting a new camera bag, so I Googled  ”cool camera bags for women“.  Unfortunately, nothing that cool really came up, and I was sort of surprised at how many camera bags are geared toward men. Most of the bags I came across were black, which is cool with me, but I knew my wife wanted something a little more feminine, and that looked more like a purse.

I went to ETSY.com, where you can find all sorts of handmade goodness, and after some searching, I stumbled upon a chevron-patterned bag that looked just like what I thought my wife would want.

But wouldn’t you know it, that particular bag was sold out. (Of course it was – it’s killer!)

I really, really wanted to get her that bag though, so I took a chance and contacted the seller (Darby Mack) who was AWESOME! She wrote me back and said that she would make my wife a bag in time for Christmas.  I was blown away because I had written her on December 18th, (#procrastinator) and sure enough, the bag showed up on my doorstep on December 23rd.

My wife was super happy with the bag. It’s perfect for a DSLR and a few lenses. It also has a few pockets on the inside and outside for all your extra stuff.

Anyway- I just wanted to pass that link along in case anyone else out there was looking for a bag like I was.

Happy New Year!

    I think I like the best so far of all the “girl” bags I’ve seen. Ditto for the thanks on sharing. Etsy here I come too!

    What a cool gift! I love etsy and have shopped there, but didn’t even think to look there when I bought a “bag” from Vera Bradley to carry my camera instead of the manly black bag.

    Ooh, that’s great. I never knew there was such a thing as a stylish camera bag. I just got a new EOS M and I need a small bag for it. Thanks for the tip.
