I believe that we should
As a photographer, I have been unimpressed with the camera bag options on the market. I want the absolute BEST for my clients but also, for myself. So, as the years went on expanding my photography business, my gear also started to accumulate and I needed something to help me carry it to my sessions.
Honestly…I just couldn’t find anything that I liked.
They seemed too bulky (with uninspired designs) for what I could actually fit inside the bag and I was always second guessing myself when I would show up on scene with just a camera on me. I felt unprofessional not being able to provide variety for my clients because I just didn’t have enough hands to work and hold lenses.
That frustration sparked a mission: merge functionality with beauty, creating a statement piece that serves a purpose.
Over these two years, I had asked my photographer community what they not only wanted but needed within a camera bag and it always came down to these two things:
Style & practicality.
We shouldn’t have to sacrifice aesthetics when it comes to being able to carry everything we need! Because I knew this, it helped me wade through HUNDREDS of vendors who over promised and under delivered. I spent every evening for almost a full year researching products, leathers, and styles to bring something to the market I was really proud of that made a statement.
The Luxe Camera Bag is crafted with handpicked leathers to offer the most up to date fashionable styles. It adorns statement chain handles that are also detachable for when you want to use the cross-body OR backpack straps.
Not only is this Luxe Camera Bag beautiful, but it it's a storage powerhouse: 3 front zipper pockets (including an SD card holder), 2 magnet-closure pockets, side pockets, and a convenient back pocket.
On the inside you will find a gorgeously feminine pink interior with serpents and foliage as well as a laptop sleeve (to fit up to 15in laptops). The customizable Velcro inserts ensure your gear finds its perfect place while the padded interior guarantees their safety, no matter where your creativity takes you.
I've tested this bag rigorously, taking it on 12+ flights, drawing admiration from fellow travelers and even TSA agents. Its size can fit snugly under plane seats or securely in overhead compartments.
The versatility of the Luxe Tote Camera Bag can fit all of your needs from performance to aesthetics. It’s truly been a labor of love that I am so excited to finally bring into the world and start with the show stopping leather: Ophidian.
PREORDER PROJECT TIMELINE:
A LITTLE ABOUT ME…
I’ve been a photographer for over 6 years with a specialization in human empowerment. I pursue any creative avenue I feel drawn to. Some could say that creating this Luxe Camera Tote Backpack was a hyperfocus distraction from my usual schedule of shooting and editing photos, I call it divine timing.
When I began designing these bags, I wanted that same sentiment of empowerment to continue in this work. I want you to feel empowered wearing this bag because you know you will have everything you need and look good doing it. I strongly believe that when you feel confident in how you’re showing up, you will produce your best work.
My hope is that you feel excited to work every time you pick up your Ophidian Camera Bag. That the excitement bleeds into how you show up for clients knowing you’re prepared for anything. That your confidence skyrockets within your business because you’re showing up every day as your best and looking the part.
Because that is exactly how I felt when I received mine.SO IF YOU’VE MADE IT THIS FAR…
Thank you!
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey, who has offered feedback and to YOU. Without you, I wouldn’t be where I am at this moment.
With the Ophidian, compromise ceases to exist; it’s the culmination of your relentless pursuit for the perfect balance between aesthetics and practicality—all in one luxury camera bag.
This is just the beginning, trust me when I say you will want an Envy Collective Camera Bag.
