Camera Bags

Are camera bags dedicated to photographers only? In the original sense, this term refers to photo bags in which the expensive equipment is safely stored. The classic bags for a valuable technical device are characterized by an angular shape and a long shoulder strap. Another special feature: many interior compartments for small utensils such as batteries, memory cards etc. Designer camera bags have similar attributes: you can recognize these trendy accessories by their rectangular shape with a relatively wide bottom. Despite its compact size, a camera bag offers enough space for your everyday essentials such as a smartphone, wallet, etc.

Camera Bags: Compact companions with huge trend potential

The so-called camera bags have some typical characteristics. They feature a long, usually adjustable shoulder strap and a zip on the top. A camera bag with a two-way zip can be opened in both directions. The rectangular shape is also typical, which is often softened by rounded corners. Typically, a camera bag is made of leather or imitation leather and has a firm structure. In contrast to the Boxy Bags, which can also be square or upright, camera bags have an elongated landscape orientation. Some leather camera bags have an additional compartment on the front or back for small items you want to keep close at hand. Sporty models are made of synthetic materials like nylon but still have a solid shape. Most designer camera bags are worn on the shoulder or crossbody. Many variants have two shoulder straps – a wide fabric strap, often with logo lettering, and a narrow one made of leather or imitation leather, depending on what the camera bag is made of. Particularly chic Boxy Bags in an oblong format are equipped with a chain strap and are a fashionable rival to classic evening bags.

Whether leather camera bags or those made of other materials, most models have the following dimensions: 20 cm x 15 cm x 5 cm. The roomy versions measure approx. 25 cm x 20 cm x 8 cm. Some camera bags have an elongated shape and measure approx. 20 cm x 10 cm x 5 cm, making them one of the smallest versions. If you are looking for a camera fanny pack, it will be about this size. These models have two extra flaps on the back and can normally be worn over the shoulder with an additional strap. Unusual models also include particularly wide camera bags with a bottom that is up to 10 cm deep. Depending on the width, a camera bag can have either one main compartment or two sections of equal size. The variants with two main compartments trump not only with more space but also with a quicker overview and better organization. A big advantage of camera bags is their versatility: they look good both for going out and for everyday activities. In terms of style, they also impress with a lot of variety. Whether you prefer bags with rivets, embossings or logo and animal prints, there is a perfect camera bag for every taste. The colour palette is just as broad and ranges from pastel to poppy camera bags and from monochrome to multi-coloured versions.
