I’m running way behind at the moment, but I promised a giveaway this month & I just have to squeeze this in before this month disappears. So I’ll make this quick & then get back to work! How did summer disappear so quickly??

And, now about the bag… I’ve been working on lots of various smaller bags lately & this one just really stands out. I like it because it’s cute & compact, but still functional & sturdy. It’s bears resemblance to the large Haylen bag available at the etsy store, but down sized considerably. Perfect little bag for carrying your extra lenses while working or carrying your camera and a spare lens or flash. The photos has the lens separate from the camera body, but you could carry it attached (just need to remove divider & rest camera on it’s side).

Giveaway Details:

The winner will choose from any fabric on eQuilter.com (under $10/yd) for the body, along with a solid color for both the exterior bottom & interior (both of these fabrics are water repellent nylon). (All color options will be provided at the end of contest to the winner)

Details about the bag: Measures 7.5″H x 11″W x 3.5″ (exterior measurements), 1/4″ Thick Foam lines the front & back, 1/2″ Thick Foam lines the sides & bottom (provides great cushion to equipment stored inside), Magnetic Snap Closure, 1 Zipper Pocket along the exterior backside, 1 small open pocket on each exterior side (great for cell phone or business cards) & 1 larger open pocket under the front flap. The interior has two fully adjustable padded dividers.

**Important Note** Because of this bag’s compact size, I will be willing to go an inch or two taller or longer to better accommodate the winner’s needs if necessary.

Berta is now on the website. FINALLY. Every time it made it to the top of the to do list something else found a way to become a higher priority. Isn’t that how it always works? Now more about the bag… Berta is a large bag & it’s been grouped in the X-Large Section on the website, due to it’s overall size. The bag allows for almost 11 inches in vertical storage & 7 inches in depth. With this much vertical storage you can store almost any of your longer lenses. The cargo area is very roomy with plenty of room for your camera and other accessories. The padding is the standard 1/2 thick foam found on all the camera bags, along with a chipboard bottom for additional protection (bottom is lined in foam too). Lots of pockets provide plenty of organization possibilities even in a bag this large.
