After months of searching for the perfect bag for my European vacation, I finally found this Marc by Marc Jacobs Crossbody Preppy Nylon Sasha. So many travel bags are dowdy and scream tourist, or at least "lack of fashion sense" and require that you carry a separate camera bag, but not this one! It met exactly all of my criteria for a great travel bag: crossbody, stylish, lightweight (who needs the extra weight of leather when you are out and about all day), zipclosures for safety, and most importantly, large enough to fit my DSLR camera. This bag did it better than I could have ever imagined. And the price wasn't bad either...while normally $208 (not bad) I managed to pick it up with 15% off. Searching for similar bags designed for DSLR's I came across bags mostly in the $400 range that didn't offer the other great safety features of this particular bag.
The main front pocket which is accessible by lifting the flap fit my camera so effortlessly, with or without its case. It also had a zip pocket for accessories like my extra battery or SD card, and a cellphone pocket. I probably could have carried a travel book in there too, but left that for the husband to carry and share some of the weight. The zippered pocket, which forms the flap, was perfect for my wallet and passport. The way the bag is designed left me worry free from pickpocketers. Surely, there is no way, they could undo that zipper and slip a hand inside without my knowledge.
Travelling around with this bag made me feel not only safe, but like I didn't leave my style behind in New York.
