I am excited to share today's review and giveaway with you. If you aren't familiar, Jo Totes, is a camera bag company that produces gorgeous, functional camera bags for women.
Here is a little bit more about Jo Totes:
We have been creating and sending camera
bags to women photographers around the world since 2009. Our bags
provide a fashionable way for women to safely carry their camera bodies
and lenses, along with regular purse items, every day—whether it be to a
photo shoot, while traveling, or just while out on a regular day.
Jo Totes let me choose which bag I would like (yes, blogging does have some perks) and let me tell you, it was so hard to choose. Here is the bag I ended up selecting:
I decided to go with the Betsy in Teal. My initial thought was to play it safe with some type of neutral color, but in the end, I decided to go bold. Besides, teal is my business color so I thought it was pretty fitting.
I chose this bag because it was on the larger size. I already have a smaller camera bag that my hubby bought me for Christmas one year from an Etsy seller, but it doesn't hold all of my lenses. The Betsy bag holds all of my lenses, my camera, my ipad, wallet, cell phone and laptop. Pretty good right?
The top of the bag zips up nicely so that nothing will fall out. And all the hardware and materials are top-notch.
The interior of the bag is a light gray silky cotton. It came with three moveable pads that easily velcro where ever you need them. Also there is room for a laptop, but I put my ipad in that spot since it has a pretty large case on it. My camera fits in the empty slot, but I was using it to take these pictures, so that's why it's not in there.
The front pockets are nice and large. There is plenty of room for your phone, keys, business cards, ect.
The back pocket can be used for your ipad or wallet.
The bag comes with two different straps (I put on both of them here to show you the different lengths). One is a longer, adjustable strap so you could wear the bag across your chest and the other strap is a shorter, more purse-like strap.
So guess what?
Jo Totes is giving away a camera bag of your choice (up to $119.00) to one very lucky The Cottage Home blog reader.

All of the bags are amazing! I love the Betsy, I might choose that in Mustard - or maybe the Rose in Moss. If I were to win, I would have a very fun "problem" trying to figure out which one to pick!
ReplyDeleteI love Jo Totoes! I already have a rose bag and if I won I would get a Millie in Sugarplum because I need a smaller camera bag to tote along when I am out with the kids!
