Women: Bags - What do you use?

[glaw89]

Hey!

I have been having a nightmare with a perfect bag to bring along to weddings mainly. I did use a standard 'big bag' with dividers which worked ok when I had only my 3100 kit for portraits and general shots. Now I have two bodies and a few lens, batteries, flash etc I need something a little more designed for cameras but I find all the bags have a manly appearance or are super expensive.

I resorted to using a small wheeled suitcase for the last few weeks as it works well but is a pain in the bum wheeling it everywhere.

Has anybody got any recommendations on more feminine bags?

Thanks

When you say 'take along to weddings' do you mean you are actually the photographer for the wedding? If so, I certainly don't bother, even the Kelly Moore range, of which I have a smaller one for general use, has a large variety but not something that would carry comfortably enough for a wedding. They are also expensive, albeit well made. All my kit goes in a rigid, wheeled storm case. It generally stays in the car, two bodies/lenses/flash carried on a double rapid strap, and accessories in either the Kelly Moore handbag style, or a larger redsnapper bag [the ones that look like billinghams without the price tag], depending on what I need.

edit: oh, if you did want to splash out on a Kelly Moore [they are LUSH!] have a look at a UK company called Everleaf, no more expensive than importing them from the US by the time you have added on the import taxes, etc
