Bellbrook Backpack - Black

SO GOOD! Perfect everyday camera/laptop bag

This bag truly solved a lot of problem areas I was experiencing in my day-to-day life as a creative. I wasn't even looking for a new bag at the time of purchase, but thanks to Facebook ads, here I am with the new PERFECT bag! It's a decent size that isn't super heavy. It's a good size for carrying a couple of camera bodies and a lens or two while out and about or for a photo shoot. This is also going to serve as an "adult-looking" backpack for when I'm taking my laptop out and about. I a mid-20-something that has struggled with feeling too much like a yo-pro stuck in the college mindset, still using her college book bag. I'm so happy to have found something cute and adult-looking enough to replace my old, ratty bag from college! This impulse buy is proving to be one of the best decisions I've ever made!

Love

Super cute and functional. My only qualm is no water bottle holder. I rearranged the inside to create a space for my water bottle to stand upright. Other than that, really comfortable and functional. I will be using this as my everyday backpack as well as camera travel backpack.

Like but not ❤️

I ordered this backpack for a trip to Guatemala and then plan to use it when I am in the go shooting/editing same day. I like this bag - roomy, organized well. I also love the professional look of it - which is what I was going for. There are, however, couple drawbacks. First, the waxy outer coating attracted EVERYTHING to stick to it. I’m hoping that once I’m home I can clean it well and the initial stickiness will subside. Second, I wanted to keep my camera box with lens in the lower compartment. I have it set up for this but it’s really difficult to get the camera in and out (5DMarkII and 24-70mm zoom lens). In the plus side- it is a tight fit so it would be hard for someone to unzip and take my camera without me knowing it. On the negative side - I could not use this lens combo when shooting with the bag as it’s too hard to get in and out. Overall I like but for love this bag. I’m a bit sad because my last camera backpack I’ve had for over 10 years so I’m disappointed that I waited this long but it’s not exactly what I need.
