Here are 15 stylish camera bags for women!

1. Large Vintage Purse Camera Bag

This is a large, handbag-style purse, that can be carried with its top handles or a shoulder strap. The inside of the bags has a super cute floral pattern which adds a nice touch. No more hiding your bag in pictures!

Features:

• Fits standard DSLR with lens and small accessories
• Padded dividers that can be removed, if you want to use the bag as a purse
• Can be carried by the top handles, worn over the shoulder, or as a crossbody bag
• Comes in fun colors like aqua, yellow, red, black, and classic or textured brown

2. Pink Hobo Crossbody Bag

There is always a place for a pretty pink bag in my closet. This exquisite pink bag is super classy, and no one will know it hides your camera gear.

This DSLR Camera Purse also comes in black!

Features:

• Comes with two straps, so you can switch between long and short for crossbody or hobo style shoulder bag
• Has an interior padded camera case to keep a camera and 1-2 lenses safe
• Easily one of the more stylish camera bags for women we've seen. It's a discreet purse that doesn't put a target on your back.

3. JoTotes Gracie Purse

This is the camera purse I used when I first got a DSLR. It's amazing! You can configure the interior spaces to fit your camera perfectly, and still have room for other things. I found it to be super feminine and pretty - and I got plenty of compliments on my "purse" too!

Here's my full review of the Gracie from Jo Totes.

Features:

• Real leather exterior with soft cotton interior
• Protective foam inside and metal feet on the bottom to keep the bag sturdy
• Seven pockets that give you plenty of space for your camera, gear, and everyday essentials
• Comes in several different colors of vegan leather, including cognac, black, mint, and others.
• Note: There is no designated pocket or space for a tripod or water bottle

4. Crossbody Leather Camera Bag

This handmade bag has gorgeous craftsmanship and details. It has structure and tons of pockets! Plus, the real leather will just get better with time. This is definitely one of my favorite stylish camera bags on the list.

Features:

• Removable padded interior case protects standard DSLR and small accessories
• Multiple zippered, flap, and slip pockets for other daily essentials
• Can be carried by the top handle or worn crossbody or as a shoulder bag
• Note: Side pockets don't stretch so what you can fit inside is limited

5. Kelly Moore Woodstock Bag

This two-tone satchel is so pretty! I love the unique styling and colors. It can be carried several ways.

Features:

• The bag has nineteen different pockets of varying size
• Fits a tablet or laptop up to 15"
• Holds a pro camera and 2-3 lenses
• No tripod or water bottle pockets

6. Jo Totes Missie in Mint

This camera and laptop bag can hold everything you need for a long day! It comes in this trendy mint color that is so fun.

Features:

• Laptop sleeve for a 15" laptop
• Room for a camera and several lenses
• Protective foam and adjustable dividers

7. MegaGear Leather Mini Satchel

I love the different colors of leather available in this crossbody bag. It's got a beautiful purse look and is perfect for a short outing with your gear.

Some cheaper bags have a buckle just for show and rely on velcro instead, but this stylish bag has a real quick-release buckle that keeps everything secure.

Features:

• Luxurious leather - it will only get more soft and supple with time
• Mini size for carrying just your camera along, but can also fit an additional small lens or battery
• Comes in black, blue, brown, maroon, mink, olive
• Closes securely with a quick-release buckle
• Removable divider and crossbody strap

8. Billingham DSLR Camera Bag

Need something small but not lacking style? This compact bag gives all the right impressions.

Features:

• Constructed from 3-layer material with real leather buckle and fixings
• Soft, padded, removable insert to separate and protect camera equipment
• Adjustable front pockets and 5-year manufacturers guarantee
• Note: This is a small bag, so you won't have a lot of space for extra items.

9. Jo Totes Allison Crossbody Bag

This is another winner from the Jo Totes brand! The Allison has a slim profile, comes in brown or black, and has three zippered exterior pockets.

Features:

• Looks like a fashionable purse, not a camera bag
• Several zippered pockets outside and adjustable dividers inside
• Big enough to fit a camera, several extra lenses, and an iPad
• Padded crossbody strap
• Black or brown vegan leather

10. Gatta Christie Noir Bag

No one will guess that this mini backpack is actually a DSLR camera purse!

Features:

• Can fit a standard DSLR camera with a lens attached
• 5 interior pockets and a zippered pocket on the back for extra accessories
• Don't forget to grab the interior dividers which are sold separately
• Note: It's good for street use, but the unpadded straps might not be comfortable for long-term wear.

11. Tog & Mini Tog Bag

A stylish bag that doesn't even look like a camera bag! This London-based company makes a gorgeous bag that can stash a ton of gear.

This bag comes in two sizes - the Large and the Mini. It also comes in black, stone, or tan leather.

Features:

• Plenty of room for a camera and lenses, with lots of customizable dividers.
• Front zip pocket for small accessories and separate pocket in the back for a tablet
• Side access for your camera body
• Tripod and laptop pockets

12. Mirrorless/DSLR Camera Purse

This real leather camera purse is both beautiful and functional. Although it's on the smaller side, it's a good option for a stylish camera bag if you have a mirrorless setup or a small camera.

Features:

• Real black or brown leather
• Small shoulder bag or crossbody style
• Fits enthusiast-level cameras or mirrorless bodies, plus 1-2 lenses. The adjustable dividers can help you adjust it for your needs.
• Note: It uses a magnetic clasp instead of a zipper to close the bag. If you're worried about security, you might want to choose a different style.

13. JoTotes Wyndham Street Bag

Not all stylish bags are small. This one is quite large!

This Wyndham shoulder bag is more like an overnight travel bag. It's perfect if you have a ton of gear and essentials to bring with you, but don't want to carry a backpack.

Features:

• Water-resistant, tear-resistant, durable, faux suede exterior
• The entire padded camera area is removable, so you could easily use this as an overnight bag if needed. There is room for a laptop or tablet alongside the padded section.
• Comes with a shoulder strap for ease of use
• Note: I wish there were more interior pockets along the sides, especially when the camera box is removed.

14. Chocolate Brown Leather Messenger Bag

This is a unisex leather messenger bag, and can totally be dressed up or down as needed.

• Room for a 15" laptop
• Has a removable padded insert for camera and lenses
• Padded shoulder strap
• Very high-quality leather

15. Red Crocodile Messenger Bag

Want to make a fashionable statement? This DSLR camera purse in red crocodile leather is a stunning option.
