jill-e designs ~ It’s in the Bag! {Review & Giveaway #8}

Behind jill-e designs you will find two women who happen to be former employees of Kodak and know cameras, that have set off on a new venture. In a very short period of time they have developed a line of camera and video bags for women that finally address what has always been missing~ style! No longer are we stuck choosing a boring, masculine bag. Instead we can embrace and showcase our own creative style with a camera bag. If you use camera equipment you will appreciate these bags no matter what your skill level or amount of equipment. From professional to amateur,  jill-e has the perfect bag for you!

Just in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I received the small pink patent leather camera bag to check out jill-e firsthand. Can I just say, wow?! Doesn’t it just look like a fabulous handbag? Up until now we’ve only had one small, boring camera bag. At times when we would want to use both our video camera and regular camera, we had to improvise to find something  in which to store one of them. Now they both fit comfortably on either side of this bag with plenty of room in the middle for my typical purse essentials. I love the padded shoulder strap and appreciate that it is also detachable! I can’t wait to travel and be able to take only a single bag while sightseeing!

This waterproof patent leather bag has brown leather croc trim exterior and a fun polka dot interior with velcro dividers that can adjusted to fit your equipment.

All Small Camera Bags will accommodate:
• 1 Camera Body • 1 Flash • 2 Lenses (dependent on lens size)

All small camera bags will accommodate:
• Memory Card Holders • Batteries • Cables
• Manuals • Filters • Camera Strap
• Lens Cleaning Cloths • Expo Disc
• Waterproof Camera Jacket
• Camera Card Reader

If you are looking at this fabulous bag and thinking, it is nice but a little bit big for your needs, no worries. You will find all different types and sizes available such as these smaller, all purpose videocam/camera bags.

Another fun bag is this newer messenger style carry-all camera bag which is very affordable at only $49.99. Just some of the features include:

Weather-resistant polyester exterior – resists sand and spray to help protect gear inside

Drawstring interior closure – provides even more protection while outdoors

Adjustable shoulder strap – lets you adjust the strap for comfortable wear

Buy it: You can purchase all these bags and more directly from jill-e or check out Amazon for some amazing deals!
