Kelly Moore Libby Bag, Caramel / Brown

2013-12-02T19:00:00

I own my own photography business and shoot weddings a lot. This bag is wonderful for packing all my essentials that go along with my camera body! (Lenses, flashes, batteries, diffusers, etc) But, I am also a mom and was in need of a stylish big bag that would safely hold my camera, serve as a diaper bag, and a purse! This bag works perfectly for that because it has the nylon liners so it's easy to wipe clean if something spills and it has plenty of room for all my daughters things!! Great bag!

I recently traveled to Hawaii with this bag. So many compartments and kept everything organized. My lap top fit nicely with all my camera gear. It fit perfect in the over head compartment. There is nothing that isn't great about this bag. Love it!!!

I own 2 other Kelly Moore bags but this style is by far my favorite. Tons of room for gear and other items. Great quality and very stylish. I would definitely recommend.

The Libby is a great bag for situations when you want to carry a lot of gear. The material is thick and seems durable (it's also advertised as water resistant), although I have only had it a month, so time will tell how well it holds up. The bag itself weighs 4.5 pounds, and it can get pretty heavy when full, so it helps that it comes with a detachable messenger strap. It comes with several divider pads so you can arrange the interior in different ways depending on what you want to put inside. I currently carry my Canon 5D Mark II with attached 50mm f/1.4 lens, 70-200mm f/2.8 lens (upright), Lensbaby system bag containing a lens body and optics (upright), and various other items. There is an additional dedicated pocket for a laptop inside, and the exterior back zip pocket will hold an ipad. The Libby also comes with a long padded velcro divider which covers the entire length of the bag and can be placed over your gear, leaving some extra open space on top. The exterior side pockets are a nice size for your phone and ipod. The exterior front pockets are useful for extra batteries, battery charger, lip gloss, etc. Unfortunately there are no pockets either inside or outside for very small items such as CF cards. This design omission could be improved if the zip pocket on the back of the bag was a "Posey Pocket", which is currently included on the Kelly Moore Posey, 2 Sues, and Chapel bags. The Posey Pocket is a zip open organizer that holds credit cards, CF cards, and a checkbook/cash. While I would not recommend the Libby as an everyday bag, it is great for travel or times when you just can't narrow down your choice of gear! As others have mentioned, it does not look like a typical camera bag, and could also be used for other purposes, such as a diaper bag. I hope this information will be helpful in your quest for the perfect bag!

I needed a bag I could use for shooting weddings as well as airline travel. I'm pleased with my decision. I was able to fit my 5D with a lens on it, a 40D body, external flash, and 3 other lenses (primes) as well as some extra things like my wallet, phone etc. Def fits way more than you'd expect. Love the look of it too!

This bag holds everything I need. Camera body (probably 2 would fit), 3 lenses, lens hoods, speedlight, laptop, pocket wizards, etc. My only complaint is that there aren't any little pockets with easy access for the "small stuff" like memory cards, chargers, etc. I love the fact that it looks like a large purse, not an ugly utilitarian camera bag.

I almost checked that it was lightweight but with a camera with grip, laptop, touchpad, 3 lenses, flashes, ect. in it, I think we can all be realistic and say that's not the case. What I CAN say though is that the way it distributes the weight is UNBELIEVABLE! It feels like your carrying 10lbs of equipment instead of 50. The quality is great, it's zippers stick a little but that's to be expected with large metal zippers, the padding is more than adequate, I could go on and on praising it's virtues. And it's so pretty...

I purchased a new Canon Rebel EOS T3i for this year's 365 Day Project. Last year's project was done with my iPhone so my teeny tiny Kate Spade Pia shoulder bag was perfect. Since only the battery + lens cap + memory card of my new camera would fit in my purse it was time to upgrade. After deciding to consolidate my purse, camera bag and laptop case into one I spent weeks searching online and in store for a bag big enough to meet my needs. The Libby by Kelly Moore is almost perfect. The bag itself is pretty hefty on it's own, but seems very well made. Add in my 15" Mac Book Pro, camera + accessories and purse contents and it's quite the workout. This wouldn't be so bad if the shoulder straps were just slightly longer (I'm not a fan of the messenger bag strap). As it is I don't think I'll be carting around my laptop (just in it's sleeve) very often. I'll be curious to see how the materials of this bag hold up to my curious kitty (and her claws!) and every day use. Overall (so far), I'm pretty happy with the purchase.

I love the way the Libby bag looks and it holds a lot. I have had my bag for a only a month and there are chips in the material already and chips on a few seams. I am not at all hard on the bag so I don't know why this is happening. The bag doesn't wear at all like I expected for the [$] price tag. It is not leather it is a man made material. Epiphanie bags hold up way better then the Kelly Moore. I know I will never be buying another Kelly Moore bag.

After owning the Kelly Moore Classic Bag for almost 2 years and LOVING IT, I went directly to the KM line when I needed a bag that could carry my laptop/notebooks + gear. I was a little nervous about the size but when I compared it to my classic it didn't seem like a huge jump. It arrived today and its MUCH MUCH bigger than it appears. Its the size of an overnight bag. I could easily fit 2-3 nights of clothes for my husband and myself inside. After adding my 13" MBP, Canon 5DMII, 24-70, 85 & 100 macro, I put it over my shoulder. I could hardly get my arm around it. I'm not petite, but not a tall woman either: 5'6" and 130lbs. The inside dividers aren't nearly as sturdy/hardy as the classic bag either which disappointed me. I'm in love with the look but it's just to big for photo shoots or everyday use. If you're looking for a travel carryon to keep your computer, gear, and clothes then this is your bag. If not, consider something else. I'm sad, but I'm sending it back simply because of its size.

I absolutely love this camera bag! It is even more beautiful in person and I get compliments on it every single time I take it out. I use it to store my camera gear and well as to take it all with me to weddings or shoots, etc. I also use it as a travel bag, and sometimes just as a laptop bag for taking to meetings and such. I have a macbook pro 17" and it fits great inside! The bag is heavy, but that is to be expected for it's size and the amount of things you can carry in it.

Its quality built and a great bag, but overall its too large for lugging around on a shoot. I use it more just as a 2nd travel bag while traveling. Its heavy duty, built well, and has a lot of compartments but there is a lot of weight to it.

I wanted a bag that would hold all of my gear. I am a portrait photographer. It is great. I love the shape and size. I get lots of compliments from everyone who sees it.
