Hello, everyone!! Happy FRI-YAY!!!! We made it another week. Hooray! I hope you have the best weekend planned. I will be studying for midterms and trying not to cry. LOL you think I’m joking (it’s not a joke). Only 5 more weeks, guys. I can do it. Right..?? RIGHT?? Ok enough about me. Today is all about JoTotes Camera Bags! If you haven’t heard of this brand yet…your world is about to be rocked. These bags are PERFECT for my fellow blogging ladies or anything with a DSLR camera. The best part though? It doubles as a regular stylish purse and don’t think I won’t be taking this sucker out on the town here in the near future.
JOTOTES CAMERA BAGS: REVIEW
This post was sponsored by JoTotes but all opinions are mine and mine alone!
Why JoTotes?
Because the quality is absolutely unbeatable. The bag that is featured here is the Siena and it is crafted with quality leather and a padded interior to keep your camera safe no matter what you are out doing!
My Personal Thoughts:
I have one DSLR camera with an attached lens, so I knew I needed a bag big enough to hold the camera + lens. Like most people, I didn’t want to squish my camera and I didn’t want to have to take my lens off every single time I needed to put it in my bag. I also am buying a new lens here pretty soon and need to make sure I can carry that with me, as well. This bag does it all. It is spacious enough for all of my camera needs and I love how soft and plush the padding is. This is my first DSLR and I pretty much treat it like a newborn baby so….
Also. Michelle (my bff photographer + generally amazing human being) is going to teach me how to use my new lenses so I can start taking my own pictures after I move away from here (cue dramatic sobs and refusal to believe that is real). Because of that, I knew I wanted to start taking my camera with me places so that I could take impromptu photoshoots when I do things like go to the carnival and play with Felix my cat.
SO. That meant I had to do some searching to find a bag that look like a normal purse. The other think I love love loved about this bag is that there is room for things like my phone and my wallet so that it really can double as a regular bag. Because ya girl doesn’t like to carry a purse to begin with, let alone TWO. Yeah. Right. Killing two birds with one stone, which is 100% what I am all about.
Do you need to invest in this camera bag right this very second?
Uh, heck YES. Because it is the most stylish camera bag/purse I’ve ever seen. It is real leather. It is worth very penny. Also I don’t know about you, but I think cameras are DANG expensive and I will NOT be shelling out another $600+ to buy another because I didn’t invest properly in the right carrying case for it. And sure. Can you find those blue and black Canon vinyl backpacks to hold it in? Yes. But will you look nearly as adorable? N. O. Hard no on that.
So there you have it. All of the best reasons you seriously need JoTotes camera bags in your life. It has convenient pockets all over the dang place so you can stash your lens cover, car keys or lipstick wherever you want!
I hope you guys are all feeling super thankful this month. As for me, I have a wonderful husband, the world’s cutest cat, the best friends and family in the world, and the world’s coolest job. I get to review things and write for you guys! Don’t forget to make a list of all the things your thankful for and hug your loved ones a little harder this month (and every month)!
I’ve been jonesing to buy a camera bag, but I have a hard time deciding on things like this. This one’s REALLY gorgeous! Hmmm…
It really is!!!! I love it SO much. And it is lightweight!!!
This camera bag is so cute! You would never know it is a camera bag! I have the Lo and Sons Claremont and it is great too!

What a great bag! I have an ONA bag and love it – the ones you can’t tell are for cameras are the best!
That bag looks so stylish, you wouldn’t even know a camera is in there! I like how it has separate compartments so the camera doesn’t roll around in it.
I desperately need a new bag for my 6D – something stylish to take out to do our restaurant reviews. This is PERFECT!!!
It seriously is!!
That camera bag is so gorgeous! Good luck with your midterms!
I love JoTotes, it’s on my next purse purchase list!! I wish the bag you got came in a light brown or black!! Good luck with your midterms!
Oh this bag is gorgeous! I need to ditch my ugly black bag and splurge on one of these 🙂
Gorgeous. I love a good tote bag. someone gave me one when I graduated Chiropractic school and loved it!
This bag is absolutely gorgeous!! I need a bag for my DSLR, this one looks perfect!
This is gorgeous! I have been looking for a pretty and functional camera bag, I may have to check this out!
This bag is absolutely gorgeous. From the outside I would have never guessed it was a camera bag. I will definitely have to check it out.

Ah, but for real…I NEED this. I have been on the look-out for the perfect camera bag for all of my gear, but have been at a loss. Love the color, shape, and pretty much everything about this bag. Now if only I had the money, haha.
Oh gosh, right??? I am running out of play money! LOL
What a pretty bag – It doesn’t even look like a camera bag! I wish have to check it out!
This is a really chic camera bag! So classic and stylish!
I love how stylish and useful this looks!
That looks perfect for formal meetings. I also love the design. Very classy.
I love the color and this looks so classy. My sister just bought a new camera. This would be the perfect Christmas gift for her.
Wow, I really like this camera bag! It looks so classy and would go with any outfit. I love that it doesn’t really look like a camera bag because they usually look so clunky.
I need a new camera bag. Mine is big and bulky. This one looks very nice.
I don’t have a fancy camera, but if i did i would love one of these bags. they look good and they are functional. you can’t go wrong!
I hate when my camera gets squished lol This bag is gorgeous and super classy which is a lot better than most camera bags.
Wow I absolutely love this bag! It’s beautiful and functional. No one would know it was holding a camera!
I need this. Not about carrying the 2-purse thing. And, want a bag for my pricey-fancy-shmancy camera that does NOT look all techy. I want a fashionable one. Need. Now.
Such a gorgeous bag! I didn’t even know even know I needed it yet. LOL
I’ve never seen such a chic camera bag before! Love the color and the construction!
This bag is so cute! I love that it just looks like a regular purse but has all of the space you would need for a big camera!
Hands down, I 100% need this. HANDS DOWN.
Coming Up Roses
I know. I KNOW. You can go out…take pictures…and nobody would ever know that your chic bag held your camera. The dream.
My niece would love this. She is huge into photography and carries her camera everywhere. I’ve never seen such a pretty camera bag.
OMG i need a cuter camera bag. The one i have now is huge and bulky! I’m looking into this one now
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! I’ve been searching for the bag that’ll carry my equipment and still looks cute.
I kid you not, I’m not obsessed with this bag. I’ve been looking for something more casual for my DSLR. Right now I just have a traditional camera bag, and then a backpack
That is gorgeous! I have been thinking about getting a new camera bag. I have been using the one that came with my camera 6 years ago – it definitely needs replacing!
I love how stylish camera bags are these days! They’re always so lovely to look at. Thanks for sharing your experience with this bag. I think it’s pretty!
This bag is awesome! It really looks like a fashionable purse. I would never think it’s protecting a camera in there. Great review!
I have been dying to a get a new camera bag! I am still using that ugly black one that comes with the camera! I am adding this one to my Christmas list!
This a great alternative to those unattractive camera bags that come with your camera. I love how it looks like a regular shoulder bag!
Xoxo,
