The genius idea behind Camera Coats came to mom Emily when she was on a family vacation and didn’t want to haul her bulky camera bag with her. Instead, she grabbed one of her kid’s video game cases and…it worked! A lightbulb moment for this mom culminated into what Camera Coats is today, a safe, pretty, place for your camera without another bulky bag to carry. Mommy genius!
If you’re the owner of a DSLR camera, and a mom of young kids, tell me you’re not guilty of at least once throwing your camera into your diaper bag or purse without the case because it was simply easier. I’ve done it – more than once – and have said a hail Mary while doing so hoping that I don’t damage it.
Camera Coats are a simple little bag, fashionably decorated of course, to slip your camera into and then either sling it on your shoulder or toss into your bag, without worrying about damaging it. It’s sized to fit your camera and only your camera, so it doesn’t take up any extra space anywhere you bring it.
Available in 5 sizes, you can order the perfect camera coat for your camera and keep it safe from the elements too! It’s not 100% waterproof as there’s not a full seal but it will certainly keep your camera away from water, spills (kids!) and the elements when out and about.
I picked a Retro Daisy Gray Camera Coat for my Nikon D3100 camera (grey and yellow are so great together, no?) and was thrilled when it arrived and fit my camera perfectly! I call it my camera’s bikni, and love it (who wouldn’t love a bikini that fit all the time?) My old camera bag is now put away in my closet and this baby hangs on the railing by the door before outings or sits pretty in my purse.
Shipping is free for domestic US shipments this summer and Canadian customers pay $13 shipping.
My Camera Coat is definitely a favorite item for me this summer, and I’ve already been asked where I got my little beauty!
Visit Camera Coats and check out their huge selection of SLR Camera Bags, but good luck on picking your favorite – it took me forever!
