Today we are so (SO!!) excited to share something that's been in the works for almost a whole year: a camera bag we designed in collaboration with Kelly Moore! It's so awesome to get to say it's now available! Our design is inspired by vintage satchels and is large enough to hold a laptop, camera, and a couple of lenses. We've been carrying it daily for the past few months; I even took it on a two-day trip (just this bag and a purse!) recently.
These are the lookbook images that Sarah captured for our new bag, as well as a lookbook video created by Jeremy. Here you'll see the three colors it comes in and some of the ways we wear it in everyday life. Tomorrow we will share more details and photos about the bag's features and everything we can fit inside!
One of the surprise features of our camera bag design is that it can double as a diaper bag. It includes a (bonus) diaper pad with cute stripes that matches the lining. Can you tell we have babies on the brain? (Always….) Sarah has been testing it out with little Imogen. They should probably frame this photo, right?
Here are a few shots from Emma's home one morning. The black bag is her favorite. She's been carrying the prototype everywhere for the past few months. 
And here are a few shots from my home, too! You might have noticed by now, but there are two different strap options that every bag comes with—matching faux leather and a cute black and white stripe option. I usually wear the stripe one.
I haven't been able to choose a favorite. It's between the kelly green and the caramel colors. The green is definitely more fun, but the brown is so cozy and versatile. It's a tough one!
Here we are at the studio. These bags are great everyday bags because they fit our laptops perfectly. I don't always carry my camera to and from work, but I always take my laptop home every night.
Isn't Jeremy's well-loved (a.k.a. beat up) Kelly Boy bag so cute? He's been wearing it daily for more than a year now. I like that we have matching bags. I guess that's maybe kinda dorky, but I do.
When we travel, he brings his camera and extra lenses to make videos. It's way less embarassing having your camera with you at all times when you have a cute bag to hide it in. 😀
We had a lot of fun working on this project! You can see our bag right here in Kelly's shop. We'll be back tomorrow with a look inside the bags. xo. Elsie

Oh my goodness, I love it!! I can’t decide which color I love most! (Because I love them all.)
They are gorgeous! Love the brown one 😉
Greeen one! ahhhh <3
I love this post! the photography is amazing!
Aah I love it! Well done all… and as a side, but very important, note Elsie you look sooooo beautiful in that top photo!
Absolutely adore these photos! And the video! The bag looks so great and it’s awesome how you can pick which straps to go with. My favourite is the black one or the camel one. They’re both great.
Also. I can’t get over how adorable Trey and Emma here! And the way Jeremy walked away in that last scene in the video seems to be saying, “Come on, let’s go, my lady!” in a very manly way. Or am I just imagining things?
WANTWANTWANT!!!!
Ahhhh yay finally!!! I had been wanting to see them so badly since I saw some hints about it on the “Mastering Your DSLR” course discussion, and I’m so excited to see that they are even cuter and more and practical than I thought they’d be!!!
My favorite is the green one for sure 🙂 I have enough serious-looking bags as it is!

awe- thank you Kat!
xxxx! elsie
Haha 🙂
Thanks Bivi!
Elsie
Thanks so much Emma! Sarah did such an incredible job!
xx- Elsie
I just can’t get enough of A Beautiful Mess, that’s all I can say 😉 .
Great job guys, just keep on.
much love from Italy 🙂
YAAAAAAYYY!!! I am SOO thrilled that there is a diaper changing pad along with this. My first diaper bag was a kelly moore that I used as a camera bag before I was pregnant and the only thing I constantly thought was missing… a changing pad… !!!!!!! Then I got a Timi & Leslie bag because it came with everything (including a changing pad (and I do love it). But now guess who’s buying this bag ,(as if I don’t have enough already) me! I like that I’ll be able to use it as a camera bag once I don’t need as a diaper bag. I’ll just have to chose between the brown or the green….
Brilliant. Have even checking out the website all day waiting for this! Just purchased the green one, but have a sneaking suspicion over the next few months the other two may join my collection. A bag for every outfit! We’ll unless it’s a gown lol. Congratulations on your newest venture!

Congratulations! What a fun project to see come to fruition. 🙂 I’m in the market for something to tote all my work/blog materials around in, too…so this is very tempting! 🙂
So so cool – congrats! Love it.
Super super cute! I’ve been looking for a camera bag for a while and have been thinking about DIYing my own. But this one is fun and versatile!
Oh my gosh, it’s beautiful! It’s love at first sight.
Nice bag. They wrote Elise and Emma om their page tho…
I am so excited! I have been looking for a camera bag for over 3 years and now I have found one. Since having a baby it would be great to have a bag that can also double as a diaper bag. I am going to ask my husband for this for my birthday (1 month away)!
Love it! And love that ya’ll are working with a Louisiana girl!! 🙂
First of all, love the video! The bags are beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I was just wondering what they are made out of? The reason I ask is because I’m a vegetarian so I don’t buy anything made of real genuine leather unless it’s vintage. That’s the rule I follow. Either way, this was a lovely post that put sunshine in my rainy Florida day 🙂
P.S.
Whatever the music was that Jeremy used for the video was perfect. It’s light & cheerful, like all of you.
Love and Luck,

One of the best collaborations EVER! I bought my first camera bag from Kelly Moore years ago after seeing them here first on your blog. A huge fan of Kelly and all she does. So very excited for you all!!!
OMG! I used your blanket bag tutorial to make my own computer and camera bag!!! (I had an Ona Insert and used my padded computer case for the bag) and now that you’ve made one!!! My head just exploded!! I can’t wait to save up the money to get the green one!!!
Melinda
this is so wonderful! congrats!!
We sort of prefer faux leather ourselves. And yep, our bag is all man-made materials (not real leather). Good question. 🙂
-Emma
Thanks Emma and that’s wonderful to hear! 🙂
Love and Luck,

Oh my goodness it’s gorgeous! I love it. Now I need to save my money…
Outfit details from the top photos with Elsie in that blazer? Please 🙂
The picture with the baby is wonderful.
I love it!!!!

A camera bag that can also be a diaper bag all in one??? Sign me up!! I hate having to juggle two different bags. This is my dream bag!
These are awesome!!! Love them all! Would it be too bad to add these to our wedding registry? HA!
why are you all so damn good looking?
oh yes yes yes!! I have been looking for a camera bag that fits everything I need in life (yes, seriously) for quite some time now. But they’re all too small, until my favorite bloggers designed a bag!
There’s nothing more frustrating than walking around with two bags while you have your hands full with your DSLR, so until now I have been kinda cheeky storing my lenses in a normal handbag that’s big enough to hold my wallet, papers and make-up also. Not very prudent of me!
You saved my life! I like the brown one so much! he green one is great too, but less appealing when winter comes back.
Love, Mariska.

Beautiful bag! I love the three colors, trying to decide which one to get. Love the video on the website Elsie.
I love that bag! Absolutely love it! I will get mine as soon as possible. Thanks! 🙂
Congratulations, you guys! The bags look great. I would definitely carry one of those, and it’s smart that you made it so it can double as a diaper bag. I hope never to need another one, but if I do, I would definitely use yours. Can’t wait to see how it’s laid out inside.
Oh! I have always wanted a Kelly Moore bag! I LOVE the black and white stripe you added! So fun. All of the colors are beautiful. I want the brown one! I will have to add it to my wishlist!
Jenni
Elsie, I absolutely love that first look on you (with the red blazer). You look so classy and chic. I love your hair, too. Beautiful!
Where are these bags manufactured? Couldn’t seem to find it on the Kelly Moore site..
I cried a little when Imogen smiled while eating. Is it weird that her preciousness makes me desperately want this bag? That baby is a marketing genius.
Super cute camera bag!! I’m in love with these and I want them in every colour!! Perfect size too!

We’re going to share more about the inside here on the blog tomorrow. There are some photos on Kelly’s site though!

Haha! 🙂 Yes, she is.

Hi! That’s so sweet- thank you!!

Hi Angie,
I actually got it at Target! 🙂

Hey Perri- Our bags are designed in Louisiana, USA and produced with all fair trade practices in China.
How exciting! I love Kelly Moore bags. They are my go to splurge item. I have two and use at least one if them them daily. In excited to check out this newest addition.
LOVE my Kelly Moore bag – I have Posey 2. And you can use it as a purse – has neat spot for cards, cash and some lipstick.
I adore Kelly Moore bags! It’s what my current camera bag is and I love it!
I love the look of the bag you guys designed, it’s exactly something I would buy for myself! I also love that they make their bags out of handmade materials 🙂 Super excited they are the company you all partnered with!
OMG I adore this. I can’t believe it but I don’t have a camera bag and I travel with my cameras (DSLR and instax) and lenses…and I travel ALL the time. I would love this bag. I’m going to have to start a little skimming and saving 😉
next book should be harry potter! would be awesome to discuss that 😀
how exciting, it looks great! awesome design 🙂
xo, cheyenne
Congrats! That is so exciting. I love reading about the development of your business and what you guys are up to. The bags look really cute too, wish I was a photographer. 🙂 Cheers!

That is a beautiful bag! Too bad it’s not real leather for the price.
Hey Ladies!
These bags are amazing, as everything that you do.
I wonder if it’s real leather?
Thx, Maxi
oh!! I love all of them, good job guys!
http://www.modaonlinegelolasvintage.com
Hi Maxi,
It’s not. It’s faux leather. 🙂
Thanks! Elsie
The green one looks amazing! Very pretty and functional…love it!

I love the bag! The black is my favorite and seems perfect for everyday use. Elsie, where did you find the top you’re wearing in the last couple of images?
-Allis
I love the bag design! Especially the lens case and other little extras. Great job girls! Now I just have to save up to get one- Kelly Moore bags have always been out of my budget, but some day I am going to get one!
I am right there with you, completely torn between the Kelly Green and Brown. I love, love, LOVE the green one, but the brown is your more every day bag.
My cousin swears by Kelly Moore bags they are so cute and super functional!

ps. giveaway on my blog right now
Super cute but they sure are spendy, and faux leather too! I just toss my camera in my purse when I need it.
Cute bags…! but can we talk about the shoes Elsie’s wearing in the shots with the green bag?! Where’d you get them, if you don’t mind me asking?
LOVE the brown leather bag!
Ugh, I LOVE it!
I have the Kelly Boy Bag and I just adore it. It’s my signature bag right now – men and women alike LOVE it and my husband isn’t too embarrassed to carry it for me either.
This one is just so beautiful. Well done!
It’s really nice! I love the shiny leathery look! All the colours are great but I’m a traditional person so I think my favorite is the brown one. Very cute indeed.
Yay!!! I have been looking for a camera bag for so long. I love it and it is exactly what I was looking for. I just ordered one in camel.
Obsessed. I have been looking for a camera bag for about a year!!
Love this bag so much! Obsessed with the caramel colored bag, but the other two options are amazing as well! Plus the striped interior is to die for! Ah!
It’s gorgeous!! As a photographer I am always on the lookout for camera bags and yours is so chic and elegant, love it!
Hi there! The bag looks amazing, so vintage and cute! Just a little question, is it made of leather? X
First, congratulations on the bags, very cool! Is Emma’s jacket in the last picture a store-bought one or is it homemade? I think I have bought the exact same fabric and am now in the process of actually sewing the jacket, just thought it was fun!
These bags are so cute! I want one, two, three…! 🙂

I totally use a camera bag as a diaper bag. Camera bags are just so much cuter — and roomier, I’ve found!
They look great girls, congrats!

I love using camera bag for everyday and in particular for travelling. May need to take the caramel one with me on my next trip.
Congratulations ladies, very exciting!
You came with a really pretty bag. I love the green one.
OMG! I am in love!! The brown bag is simply amazing!!! MUST HAVE THIS!!!! I am drooling as I type this. That’s okay because my keyboard needed a good washing anyways! LOL Would love to get my hands on this beauty but couldn’t afford it. Heating and eating have to come first!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Maybe you could do a giveaway!?!?! Sounds like a good idea to me!
Love reading your blog but have one issue. You had done a giveaway for the sticky magnets and for the life of me I can’t find where the winners were posted. HELP!! If I was one of the lucky winners I want to be able to claim it. THANKS!!
Thank you!!
Holy crap, I think I need one in each color! lol
Hey Ladies!
I love the bag buuuuuuuuuut I love Elsies outfit in the first pictures too! Where did you have the shirt? Great outfit-combination with the red blazer! love it!
Kind regards Fiona
Congratulations!! This is incredible and sooo adorable! I can’t wait to see more about it later!
xoxo

So lovely! I really want the Kelly Green one. Perfection.
They are lovely but the price seems a little steep for fake leather.
Damn I live in the wrong side of the world. I want that bag! badly!
My camera wants that bag! my other bags want me to have that bag!
I love the polka dot top! I just did a post where I was wearing polka dot overalls that I am absolutely in love with and they are only $15!
http://www.thoughtsofglam.com
WHERE CAN I GET THAT?! <3
This thirteen year-old is in desperate need of one. xD
These bags are phenomenal! I have been looking all over for something similar to this…and have had no luck, but I the search is over all thanks to you gals! The leather looks like butter…it’s so smooth. I love the rich colors and the fun black and whit strap, not to mention it’s fully functional. Does it get any better, I think not!
That Comfort Girl
Whah! I JUST ordered a new camera bag on Monday! I can’t believe I missed this.
i LOVE the turquoise one!! so cute!

so happy for you guys and all these awesome things you’re doing. truly inspiring!
I am ordering one ASAP! But also- the clog-like shoes you are wearing with the checkered shirt? What brand/where did you get them? Absolutely love!!!!
I would love one of these! I am looking for a camera bag and I have just come across the perfect one! Would love to win one of these as I’m getting a new camera soon.I love taking pictures of flowers and landscape also love the type of photos you guys take. The blue bag is my favorite. I would also like to win one of these as they are very portable and fashionable. Best wishes X
Can you tell me what this is made of? Is it real leather or faux?
