I totally understand. However, prices are exactly the same and when I compared the two bags side by side the Black Label Bag was built better and had a nifty waterproof zipper. The A&A bag had better padding. I chose Black Label as I felt it was the better choice for me 🙂

I did a post today on my tamac bag, which I like even though my laptop no longer fits... they are pricey though and not cute at all. Photo Jo Jo has a cool looking messenger style bag but not sure how functional it is.

I want a bag with wheels, good padding for protection, will hold a laptop and is great looking, inside and out! I feel like the major companies have really missed the boat as far as the female photog market is concerned...

Thanks Robert but these all may be great functional bags but not what I would call stylish. I think for women this is a very different ideal... I want something with a cool pattern, colorful and beautifully lined. Something Orla Kiely-ish...

The closest thing out there are probably these Jill E bags but they are still not really my taste and pretty expensive.

Women are accessory fanatics and looks are as important as function (if not more) ... just look at our shoes! 😉

There is a huge market out there for us... just look at this flickr discussion among female photogs looking for the same thing. If just one of those merchants you listed realized this, they could make a killing.

or have your friendly upholstery store make you some shootsac style covers + some camera bag dividers and a cool looking name tag /or have a silkscreen
artist paint someting directly on the bag.
