Jo Totes Camera Bag Review and Giveaway

I am excited to share today's review and giveaway with you. If you aren't familiar, Jo Totes, is a camera bag company that produces gorgeous, functional camera bags for women.

Here is a little bit more about Jo Totes:

We have been creating and sending camera bags to women photographers around the world since 2009. Our bags provide a fashionable way for women to safely carry their camera bodies and lenses, along with regular purse items, every day—whether it be to a photo shoot, while traveling, or just while out on a regular day.

The main compartment of each of our bags is lined with padding (around each side and on the bottom) to protect photography equipment. Movable interior pads are also included to allow for configuration around a variety of camera bodies and lenses.

Jo Totes let me choose which bag I would like (yes, blogging does have some perks) and let me tell you, it was so hard to choose. Here is the bag I ended up selecting:

I decided to go with the Betsy in Teal. My initial thought was to play it safe with some type of neutral color, but in the end, I decided to go bold. Besides, teal is my business color so I thought it was pretty fitting.

I chose this bag because it was on the larger size. I already have a smaller camera bag that my hubby bought me for Christmas one year from an Etsy seller, but it doesn't hold all of my lenses. The Betsy bag holds all of my lenses, my camera, my ipad, wallet, cell phone and laptop. Pretty good right?

The top of the bag zips up nicely so that nothing will fall out. And all the hardware and materials are top-notch.

The interior of the bag is a light gray silky cotton. It came with three moveable pads that easily velcro where ever you need them. Also there is room for a laptop, but I put my ipad in that spot since it has a pretty large case on it. My camera fits in the empty slot, but I was using it to take these pictures, so that's why it's not in there.

The front pockets are nice and large. There is plenty of room for your phone, keys, business cards, ect.

The back pocket can be used for your ipad or wallet.

The bag comes with two different straps (I put on both of them here to show you the different lengths). One is a longer, adjustable strap so you could wear the bag across your chest and the other strap is a shorter, more purse-like strap.
