When first entering the photography industry, there were many things on my list of “must-haves”. One of those things was a camera bag. I don’t consider myself *too* picky, but it seemed to be impossible to find a cute & trendy camera bag that was also functional. After spending hours on the internet, all that I could find were very basic amazon bags or extremely expensive bags that were very tailored toward men.
Years later, I am so thankful that it seems this need is finally been met! There are finally some companies specifically tailored towards female photographers who love an aesthetic-looking bag.
Today let’s save you the hours of scouring the internet with one easy-to-navigate list!
The Best Cute Camera Bags for Women:
1. Violet Mae Mini Backpacks
Violet Mae has made trendy backpacks that don’t look like camera bags & are perfect for daytrips or smaller shoots! You can easily fit your camera body & a few of our favourite lenses for on the go.
For the photographer that needs to bring a full set up along, the larger version of Violet Mae’s backpack is perfect. It features the trendy, croc look & lots of space to hold your gear. There is space to hold up to three bodies plus lenses, your laptop & your tripod (or water bottle). Wedding photographers this is the bag for you!
This bag is a photographer’s dream! While this is not a full-size camera bag, it is the best fanny pack you could ask for. It has specific slots for memory cards, and you are able to attach your camera right to the bag, which allows for hands-free moments!
For those days when you want to bring your camera, but you don’t want to lug around all your gear. Gatta’s cross bodies are cute & don’t scream “camera bag”
Crossbody Collection, ranging from $167-197 CAD, Gatta
5. The Tiktok Camera Bag
If one brand has dominated the TikTok market, it is Brevite. Their camera backpacks are classic but effective, and they have over 3000 five-star reviews on their website. My favorite detail is that when you pick your colour, the entire bag is that colour, not just the outside. It is those little things that so often get missed!
Hear me out! This bag is adorable, can be shifted from crossbody to backpack and features SO MANY POCKETS! I would add a camera insert to this bag and it would be perfect.
