Disclosure: I received the Charlotte Epiphanie camera bag for review. All opinions are my own. Epiphanie is offering a giveaway on my blog where one of my readers will win an in-stock camera bag of their choice!
I’m so excited to share this with you today! You see, I am a self-proclaimed “mamarazzi” and sports mom who is constantly on the go, and seldom without my camera. And I don’t mean my phone camera or a point and shoot. I’m a DSLR girl. You just can’t get great sports shots with anything else, and I’m the team photographer for all three of my kids’ sports teams!
I used to have a camera backpack. It didn’t really fit my needs. I always ended up carrying a purse too, and carrying two bags around gets frustrating. Professional photographer Maile Wilson was also frustrated with her lack of camera bag options…and did something about it. She started Epiphanie Bags four years ago, and the company now offers a variety of camera and laptop bags, including backpacks for men.
Last spring was when I first discovered Epiphanie Bags. I eyed them for a while before I got my first one, a Ginger bag in caramel. Epiphanie Bags come in a whole array of beautiful colors, but I decided to go neutral for my first one. I have used that bag non-stop ever since. I love the fact that it doubles as both a camera bag and purse! Now that it’s getting closer to the holidays though, I also wanted a bag that I could carry to functions where I was a bit more dressed up.
Hello Charlotte! The Charlotte in Metallic Chevron is a gorgeous every day camera bag / purse! It comes with multiple padded dividers inside to keep your camera equipment safe! These can be moved around to meet your specific needs. I had no problem adding a camera with attached lens, an extra lens, my wallet and card cubby. I could have added another lens in the section where I had my card cubby. There’s an interior pocket for small items, such as my memory cards, an extra battery, and even a lipstick and business cards. The pocket on the front flap easily fits my iPhone and keys, and the back pocket fits my iPad and a notepad that I use to write down things that I think of when I am out and about…like blog post ideas! If you need to transition from a camera bag to a purse, you can simply take the dividers out! It also comes with two shoulder straps, one padded cross-body strap and a thinner strap as well.
Epiphanie really pays attention to detail as well. The fabrics used on their bags are beautiful…luxurious, but strong as well. The attached camera charm that comes on their bags is a nice touch…and a cute piece of “bling.” And I love the metallic clasp on the front too! Personally I love the metallic chevron version, but it also comes in metallic, burnt orange, cobalt, and turquoise. The Charlotte retails for $154.99.
You can connect with Epiphanie on Facebook (tell them I sent you!) and follow them on Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram. Be sure to check out all their great camera bag styles on their website as well. Below you can see a few of them. There are so many great looking bags on their site, it’s hard to choose just one!
How would you like to have your own Epiphanie camera bag? It could be your lucky day, because I get to give an Epiphanie bag away to one lucky reader! And if you win, you get your choice of any in-stock bag! Yes, you heard that right…you get to choose the bag that is right for you! This giveaway is open worldwide, ages 18 and over.
