Lorilein Camera Bags

November 13, 2011 · Filed Under Shopping & Retail · Comment 

Lorilein camera bags are designed specifically for women who want a functional and stylish accessory that can hold camera equipment, plus the essentials: keys, cellphones, sunglasses, etc.

Designed by Oak Park Illinois photographer Lori Ferguson, the Lorelein bag has several padded interior chambers to keep extra lenses safe from bumps and scratches while out and about. No more Velcro pieces to rearrange. The connected chambers also create a safe place for your camera to be stored with the lens still attached to make it easy to grab for that unexpected shot. There are 2 side pockets for sunglasses and water bottles as well as 2 smaller pockets for business cards or a lens filter. Housed safely within a zippered flap, are pockets for a cell phone, credit/debit cards and cash.

To order your Lorilein Camera Bag, please call (678) 643-6694 between 9am and 7pm. The price is $50, plus shipping & handling.
