Hi,
i am contemplating a good travel bag that could be worn crossbody but still big enough for a small camera.
Currently looking at either the "duffle" bag, or one of the backpacks, either Clapton or Hot Springs. (links below)
I currently have a mini Palmspring backpack but it is a little tight to squeeze my camera, iphone, and wallet in.
There doesn't seem to be too much info about these bags so far, and I don't see too many modeling pics either. Do you own any of the bags? how are you liking yours?? Any feedbacks would be greatly appreciated !

Hi! I purchased the Clapton backpack today. I haven’t worn it yet, but I tried putting my stuff in it at the store and it fits an umbrella, a mini pochette, my cellphone, my keys, a small (but kinda bulky) wallet, my earbuds and some gum (a rather bulky pack of gum, actually). It fits surprisingly much. I’ve never bought the Palm Springs Mini because it can’t fit my umbrella, so the Clapton backpack is definitely more spacious.

thanks for the feedback! Are you going to wear it backpack style or have you tried cross body config with it yet?

It sits a little too low for me to wear backpack style (I'm quite short, a little under 5'2"), but it's definitely doable. Maybe I'll have a cobbler punch more holes on the strap for me, I don't know. But I think I'll mostly use it as a shoulder bag or crossbody anyway.
