Kenneth Cole Metallic Camera Bag: Love It or Leave It?

September 26, 2008

What's this I see? A stylish metallic camera bag, and big enough to hold my DSLR? Kenneth Cole's Time to Shine Crossbody Camera Bag ($128) in silver is one of the first camera bags that's not a stuffy black nylon thing big enough for my large camera.

It actually says hey, world, I can shoot pictures and care about how cute my accessories are and it's OK! (Diatribe over).

Am I impressed for nothing though? Is it just an overpriced bag, or the answer to my fashionable photography needs?

I have a case for my camera (also a DSLR) just like I have a sleeve for my laptop. These can all be stuffed inside one gigantic bag. This way I don't [i]have[/i] to have a whole dedicated bag for each individual gadget. Of course, I tend to use the backpack if I really do need to take everything with me. Putting one-tenth of my body weight in a cross-body or one-shoulder bag might end in dislocated shoulders or at least a very sore back. :P

I like it, but it doesn't look like it's big enough for my Rebel. At least not with the lens on it.

Yeah, it looks really cheap in the picture (and I love metallic stuff!), so for that much money It better come with quite a bit of cash tucked inside.

I never like expensive things that - by virtue of colour or design or whatever - look far cheaper. No thanks!

i'm usually a sucker for any new bag, but i feel like this is a bag that we've seen over and over again, so it's not new - and to just say that the shape makes it a perfect camera bag? i don't know - i think that they are reaching.
