I was working on a custom bag and realized I was dressed to match. It happens.

The Margot Tote as a Camera Bag


We have a gigantic camera we carry around town to take pictures of our bags and when it was Margot Day I decided to just carry the camera in the tote while we weren't using it and guess what. I discovered that not only is Margot awesome as a diaper/kid/work/school/iPad/netbook/handbag, it also is perfect as a camera bag! And since I don't have babies/kids/office/school/an iPad/a netbook, using it as a camera bag is perfect!

Overview:



One of the main reasons I like the Margot for a camera bag is because you can put your giant beast of a camera in the bag while all your other "purse" items are tucked away in pockets. This way you can get your camera out and back in quite easily. 
Here's what I mean:


See! Cool, huh? "Phone" is in quotes because I had to use my phone to take the picture, that is actually my Flip video standing in.
Because all that extra stuff is stowed away in pockets I can easily take the camera out in a hurry when we pass a cool wooden wall (above) or a pretty bush!



Then, when its time to eat or jump on the train or block a punch, I can swiftly throw it right back in with out shifting all my little junk around.
And there is exhibit A for why Margot has yet ANOTHER use. What an awesome bag, amiright?
