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 23, 2013 at 1:22 pmGreat looking bag! I’d love a nice bag that I could carry my camera in-it might leave the house more often!
Kelly
January 23, 2013 at 1:22 pmOMG. I just bought myself a new camera for Christmas. I was inspired after retreading your camera posts. Even though I settled On a Canon 60D. I still dOnt have a proper camera bag so this would be great. My fingers are crossed.

January 23, 2013 at 1:22 pmBeautiful bag!
Laurie
January 23, 2013 at 1:22 pmDon’t know which I love more, your dress or the bag!
Stevie
January 23, 2013 at 1:22 pmDrool worthy! I would carry my camera everywhere just to use the bag more! (crossing my fingers!)
Heather
January 23, 2013 at 1:22 pmGreat bag! I’ll definitely check out their web site! I hate carrying a purse and a camera bag and feeling both unfashionable and weighed down like a pack horse, but when I don’t bring my current ugly camera bag I always regret not having my lenses with me. These are an awesome solution.
Alicia
January 23, 2013 at 1:23 pmI would absolutely take more pictures if I had this beautiful bag to carry my camera around in!

Candice
January 23, 2013 at 1:26 pmI rather like your photo because it shows the little nubby feet of the bag (and more richness in color and hardware). I rarely even consider a bag that doesn’t have nubby feet anymore.
Kat
January 23, 2013 at 1:26 pmI would never guess that was a camera bag! How stylish!
Kim

janeray1940
January 23, 2013 at 1:26 pmThose bags are lovely. If I had one, I might actually take my DSLR out more often than I do – which was one of my new year’s goals (that I am so far failing miserably!).

gina

Nicole
January 23, 2013 at 1:26 pmWow – what a gorgeous bag! I love the idea of a camera bag that hides the ability it is holding my camera inside… as a very *non*professional photographer, I always feel a bit ridiculous when I tote my camera with me places, so this would be the perfect solution!
Emily
January 23, 2013 at 1:26 pmso lovely! My fingers are crossed.
Melissa
January 23, 2013 at 1:26 pmOhhhh… I love it!!
