I have a
Prada Diagramme that I use a lot! Similar to Gucci Marmont but the chain is shorter.
Super cute, but chain straps tangle my hair. I avoid those as much as possible.
I think Chanel does camera bags best!
Haha, well if the Soho Disco is out of my budget, the Chanel certainly is! That said, I actually have a very old Chanel camera bag and I agree, the shape and size are perfect.
The thing about my Chanel is:
1) it is white and I realized that doesn't really work for me,
2) the double straps are shorter than what I like, I like crossbody, and
3) is in need of repair. I know there's a respected fellow in LA who will make it beautiful for only $200. I can't remember his name off the top of my head, but tPF members seem to love him. I'll probably do that and then sell it.
Now, if he could repair it, change the strap, and recolor it, it would be perfect.
The Gucci Soho Disco is my only camera bag, and I love it. At one point, I was looking at alternatives because I didn't really want to spend full price on it (ended up find one pre-loved for an AMAZING price though), and the following were recommended to me:
- Kelly Tooke Jess Box (

- Leatherology (

- Gigi New York Madison (

- Cyuana (

- Lancaster Paris (

These are some great options! You've given me a lot to chew on, thanks! --Also, where did you get this great Soho Disco deal, and may I ask what the price was?
So, I accidentally sold a nice little Longchamp camera bag.
Hey MidlifeFashionPrincess--look at you!! You finally figured out how to do multiple quotes! It's easy, what were you so afraid of?!
