ONA recently wrote to me to ask if I was interested in reviewing and giving away a new camera bag they were coming out with. I did the same for their Brooklyn camera bag (which I still use and love), so I agreed. They sent over their newest, the Chelsea camera bag in cognac leather.
(in case you’re curious: dress • cardigan • bracelet • shoes)
If I’m going out with my big camera in tow, I’m not going to carry a camera bag and a separate purse. With my other bags, I have to pare down a bit, but the Chelsea fits everything I usually carry, plus my camera with a small lens attached and two additional large lenses. I also like the classic, feminine shape and gold hardware.
Would you like a Chelsea camera bag (in either cognac or black) of your own? ONA will give one away to a lucky Making it Lovely reader. Just leave a comment on this post to enter. Good luck!
One entry per person, open to U.S. and international entrants. The giveaway ends next Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at midnight CST, and a winner will be selected randomly.
p.s. You can keep up with ONA by liking their Facebook page.
* Congratulations to the winner, Molly!

Jenna
January 23, 2013 at 1:07 pmLove! Love! Love the camera bag! It would definitely help me cut down on my “luggage” every time I leave the house… Think purse, diaper bag and camera bag. It always looks like I’m heading out for a weekend away!
Kaitlin
January 23, 2013 at 12:52 pmIs it bad luck to be one of the first? I hope not! Because this is a very, terribly lovely bag

Ashly Schilling
January 23, 2013 at 12:58 pmI have had this bag on my wishlist since it was announced! I started a small part-time photography business late last year to try to lesson my dependency on a dead end job. I actually booked my first wedding within WEEKS, which is kind of a big deal (for me and the bride!). It would be amazing to have a professional-looking camera bag to carry into my newest (and most exciting) venture yet!
Eileen
January 23, 2013 at 12:59 pmI can’t believe this is a camera bag! So sophisticated and sharp!
Gail
January 23, 2013 at 12:59 pmBeautiful ONA bag! This would definitely help me get over the bad habit of not toting my DSLR around with me!
Rebecca Harrison
January 23, 2013 at 12:59 pmIt’s beautiful! I rarely take my big camera places because I don’t have a good purse for it.

Ashley S
January 23, 2013 at 1:01 pmThat is one gorgeous little camera bag!!
Christy
January 23, 2013 at 1:01 pmWhat a lovely bag. I always end up carrying two or more bags when I take my camera out with me. Sometimes I even end up leaving my camera behind when things get too heavy. What a beautiful bag and in black would match perfectly with almost every coat and outfit I wear. Thanks for sharing Nicole!

January 23, 2013 at 1:02 pmI LOVE that bag! It’s classy, and you’re right – looks like a purse. My camera bag weighs about 20 pounds empty. Not good. Thanks!
Natalie Gerber

Molly
January 23, 2013 at 1:05 pmOh my gosh, what a gorgeous bag! I’m hoping to get back into photography this year – just for fun – & having such a sassy bag to carry would definitely help. Also, how cute are you?!? You are kinda my fellow mom-of-two stylish girl crush idol. My outfit selection is a lot of WWND? :)
Megan
