I had my eye on the Kelly Moore Bag since it first came out, and the only thing that held me back on buying one, was that I couldn’t decide on what colour I wanted. I have a gorgeous cranberry Liz Claiborne bag that my mom got me on her last trip to New York, and I love it ! Sidenote – I am super spoiled. My mom buys me a new bag almost everywhere she travels to and lucky for me she has amazing taste, and she travels a fair bit 😉 Because I love that bag so much I was leaning towards Kelly’s Cranberry Croc Bag. But was torn between that and the Classic Black. You can never go wrong with black, right ?? I also thought it might help me blend in while shooting weddings. Well as you will see below I went with the Classic Black and I love it !! It is super stylish and I can fit a LOT of my gear. I mean a lot. I can easily get in four lenses (including my 70-200mm 2.8L) and an extra body, or 3 lenses, my camera body, and a speedlite. All of my CF cards zip in the back pocket so there is no chance of them falling out. I fit my iPhone and business cards in the side pockets. I can fit my keys, lipgloss, mints, extra batteries, wallet in the front buckle pockets and I still have room left over. It is a bit heavy all loaded up, but once I take out a lens and body to shoot with, it’s all good.
Female photographers all over the world are thanking Kelly for coming up with such a fashion forward camera bag. It isn’t a secret that most camera bags are icky and bulky and just plain unattractive. As a lover of purses and fabulous bags (I have about 20 or 30 in my closet right now, and I purged about 15 before we moved into our new house!) I needed to get my hands on one of these.
Here are just a few fun shots of my new lovely purchase. I think I might also need to get it in Cranberry for days when I feel like spicing up my outfit a bit 🙂

Kathy I will let you hold it 😉 That blue chair is my office chair. It matches my office perfectly but it isn’t too ergonomic. Think I need something a bit more practical to sit in all day lol! Sean, I heard they are coming out with a bag for men SOON ! Thanks for all the comments 🙂
Hahaha, you are so ridiculous, Kim! This is the most outrageous photoshoot I’ve ever seen of a CAMERA BAG! Okei, they are awesome though and I’m kind of just jealous the closest thing for guys is a Crumpler home.
that a darn good looking bag!! love it 😀
and i must say, the chairs u used are nice too! haha… 😀
{{swoon swoon}} well, now i REALLY want to see it in person. and maybe hold it too, if you’ll let me! 😉
🙂 Loved that you blogged about this. I’m seriously thinking of getting one… But I DID just get a Shootsac, so I should wait…
Hahaha – you are tooooo cute! Love your new little model – she looks just fab on that antique chair – great poses. You should send your link to Kelly Moore!
I too have been wanting one since they came out. I continue to hold back, although after reading this post I may just break down and get one too! I have a Jill-E but it isn’t anywhere as stylish as this one.
Hi Lesley 🙂 I would think a laptop would fit for sure if you took out the inserts. It’s quite a long bag, but it would just depend on the size of the laptop I imagine. If you look on her site I think she has photos of it being used in other ways ie diaper bag etc.
that is gorgeous. you make it look amazing! congrats…
Mmm… so hot! I think I might just have to break down and get one soon too!
Beautiful! I so want one, but wondering, can you take out the inserts and fit a laptop instead?!…
