Camera Bags are the Perfect Accessory for the Season

Bags are essential in elevating and completing a look; small touches amplify the subtleties in detail, taking your outfit up a notch. In the foreground adding hints of elegance, joyousness, or chicness, bags come in many silhouettes and structures: Buckets, satchels, totes, hobo bags and more. Practical and classic, bags are a versatile way to create a statement in your look. We’ve seen celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid strutting down the streets with iconic bags that stand out against the crowd, eventually popularising the style — All in all, a feast for the eyes.

Standing in the spotlight this summer are none other than camera bags. Named after the traditional bags used to store photography cameras, it closely resembles its boxlike shape, mimicking similar features of the top opening for easy access and the roomy interior for multiple storage.

The design often comes with a shoulder strap that can be worn crossbody, slung on the shoulder or carried on hand — A versatile style that takes you from day to night, for every occasion. Often designed with zippers and lined compartments, it is the ultimate bag to hold your daily essentials, while employing a structured look.

Spice up your bag collection with the rectangular and sturdy frame that can accommodate more than what you need. Here are some of our favourite looks by celebrities and influencers, showcasing the endless possibilities of styling the trend.
