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!

January 24, 2013 at 5:18 amOh, that’s a lovely bag!
Caroline
January 24, 2013 at 5:18 amI would LOVE to have one of these to give to my mom for her birthday! She’s a painter and so always has her camera on her so she can grab a shot if she sees something she wants to paint later. It would be wonderful to give her a beautiful way to always have her camera with her!

Sheri Branson
January 24, 2013 at 6:13 amI love how sleak and simple the bag is. Truly follows both the form and function camps. I am a New Yorker so would have to say the black option resonates best.

Antoinetta
January 24, 2013 at 7:53 amThis would be perfect for my daughter!
She is turning into a very creative photographer and she just bought herself a new camera with her own money working for the local newspaper part time. She is still in high school so I am very proud of her. This lovely camera bag would make her day and therefore mine too!

January 24, 2013 at 7:56 ami just bought my first ever dslr camera last month and am headed out to france this summer. it’s been on my mind to find a camera bag that is 1. stylish and 2. doesn’t scream ‘tourist’! i would be ecstatic to carry around this lovely camera.
Jessie
January 24, 2013 at 7:57 amHoly cow this is WAY more lovely and fashionable than my canon camera bag. Cognac leather is definitely sexier than black mesh/canvas.
Jessica

Kristen Nieves
January 24, 2013 at 8:49 amI love the shade and shape of this bag. I’m short and so I don’t want a bag that overwhelms me. This would be perfect <3
