Kelly Moore 2 Sues Camera Bag with Removable Basket, Eggplant

2016-01-29T10:42:13

I've recently fallen in love with Kelly Moore's camera bags. As a professional photographer (both landscape/travel and news photog), I had my eye on 3 particular bags for different uses. Kelly Moore is discontinuing several of her bags, including the 2 Sues bag, so I jumped to grab one before they disappeared. On her website, the colors remaining were't very exciting... black and grey. Ordering from Adorama many times in the past I decided to search and see if they carried any Kelly Moore bags. They do, which is excellent news once you realize these awesome bags are being discontinued and variety dwindling. Adorama had several colors I was excited about and I ordered one in Eggplant. It's gorgeous, and out of stock on the Kelly Moore website. Delivery, which is FREE, took about a week and I'm extremely happy with this buy. It's exactly as advertised. I use it for most of my news photography assignments. It's deep enough to fit my Canon with 18-200mm lens and Speedlite 430 EXiii attached, plus an additional lens, batteries, extra flash... the great thing about this bag is that you can put things around the basket which holds and protects your gear, so I slip my notepad and pen plus wallet, keys, etc around the basket inside the bag. You can even bring a sweater and stuff it on top as this is a tall bag. It's not one of Kelly Moore's large, beast bags like the Libby but it's a perfect medium sized bag. There are lots of slots and pockets on the outside for a phone, an iPod, keys, tablet, any number of things. And the feel and quality of the bag is exciting. I love the feel of it. Very soft but very protective of the gear inside. It comes with a messenger strap, which I use mostly, as well as a shorter purse strap. I can't say enough good things about this bag. And get them while you can because Kelly Moore is discontinuing some goodies... the 2 Sues, B-Hobo, Libby.... etc., etc. All the good ones! They're running out of colors and stock so Adorama is a good place to get a good selection while they're here. I'd recommend this bag, period. 100%. It's just a good, quality fun bag. Love it!

I was worried that this bag would be too big and clunky. It's not; it is perfect. I purchased it so I could carry my DSLR with 24-105 lens and two other lenses; extra battery & charger; memory card, remote and some other small gear when I fly to Boston to visit family. My travel tripod will be in my bag that will be checked, so that was not part of the equation when considering this bag. I also will not be carrying a laptop in this bag. There are many deep pockets and I love the ability to put license and credit cards in that one pocket. However, I will probably put my wallet inside the bag with my camera on this upcoming trip. This bag is perfect for what I wanted. The ability to carry my camera/lens and two other lenses. It is not too heavy with this type of gear and having two different carry straps is a definite plus. If traveling in the car (my usual mode of transportation) all other gear/lenses will safely store in my backpack and I will still have a lovely carry bag to take the few items I need. Since I have not had this bag for a long time -- I can not address what is not so great about the bag. This is a well made bag. And does not look like a camera bag; perfect when traveling in an airport or out and about.

I like to take my D300 and lens with me wherever I go but I got tired of the look of the big black LowPro sling bag. I could never find what I wanted quickly except for the camera. With this bag, set up more like I would my handbag, I can access credit cards, memory cards, phone and still have a bag that looks great when I'm not out in the wilderness.

This has become my go to bag for photography. I can carry what I need, but not be weighed down with a bulky, standout camera bag. I look like any other woman on the street with a really cool carry all.

Woman about town with a snazzy tote bag, yet no one knows it contains my camera and lens. Plus all my daily necessities.

I purchased the 2 Sues bag to use as a camera bag/purse/diaper bag. I'm an avid hobbyist and take my camera everywhere...the functionality is great! In most instances, I only bring one lens with me, so the main portion of the bag can hold baby food while the slot for an iPad can easily handle a thin diaper pouch. For a Mom on the go, this is wonderful. As my child grows, I can carry more lenses (if I choose) b/c I won't be using it as a diaper bag. Only complaint is material. The bag is beautiful, but I wish it was made of real leather. That is why I'm not giving it 5 stars.

I use this as a purse whenever I want my camera with me. It's soft, well padded, plenty big without being too heavy. Looks great... gets lots of compliments...Looks like a purse.. not a camera bag. It's more expensive than what I would normally spend on a bag - but well worth it. Very well made.

I love this bag. It is extremely versatile... I can use it to carry a minimal setup (camera, 2-3 lenses, flash, accessories) or I can use it as my shooting/lens changing bag to carry just lenses while I carry my camera. I love all the pockets and how slouchy it is. Love the dual straps. I'm not using it as a purse on a regular basis since I'm not really into carrying my camera everywhere, but I like that it has the "wallet" pocket where I can stick purse essentials (cards and cash) so I can eliminate the purse if I am carrying this bag. The color is beautiful.

I have been looking for a travel/camera bag. I'm heading out on a trip and needed one that could be both purse and camera bag and this bag fits the bill. There is plenty of room for my camera body & small lens, medium lens and flash. Plus all those purse things you need, phone, wallet, credit cards and such. After all of that there is still room for my iPad! Adorama had the color I was looking for!

The bag is comfortable to wear. The color is really pretty, in certain light it looks red and others it looks more raspberry. I really like that the bag has magnetic closure in addition to the zipper. I feel like my gear is protected in this bag. Overall, I am very happy with this quality camera bag!

I absolutely LOVE this bag. I'm a wedding photographer and needed a bag that I could wear all day while shooting. This bag is perfect. It holds all the equipment I need while shooting and is very comfortable. I was able to easily access and change lenses throughout the day. I also love the pocket that holds all of my CF cards, credit cards, etc. There is a TON of great storage features on this bag...it really doesn't get much better :)

I use this bag as my everyday purse. It carries a canon 60D, 50mm 1.4, and a 100mm 2.8L Macro with ease. If I don't have my wallet and other items I can also fit a 24-70mmL and a flash. I love that when I'm running out to do errands or just check out local areas I have my camera safely protected and organized within my bag. I also love the bag for organization in general. I think it's great for any woman who wants a fashionable bag to go along with her camera gear - but as for heavy duty travel (long bike rides, hiking, or on location shoots) it may not be as practical. All that said, I shoot families a lot and use this bag for all of my on location shots at the moment. If I need more equipment I bring a secondary bag but this isn't typically the case.

I have purcased several 'pocketbook' camera bags for woman and each has it's perks BUT I love my Kelly Moore 2 Sues Bag. It is not boxy like a lot of camera bag, it feels more like a soft purse. It holds my Nikon D700 with 50mm lens, my 85mm and 28mm lenses plus all my extras. Lots of pockets for keys, phone,etc. Go to Kelly Moore website to see a video on this camera bag...it's a keeper! Must add that Adorama is an awesome company that is always professional and gets my orders to me quickly!

I carry the bag everyday. The bag is large enough to take my camera and all my belongings together. The strap is extremely comfortable and it helps me to carry heavy things. I like the colour of the bag too. It's really beautiful and special.

I love how I can now have my camera with me at all times since I use my new bag as a purse too. Not only can I photograph my clients but also my kids at any point in the day.

I have had my bag for a few months and only used it once. I was disappointed when it arrived as it was not the color I saw on the online photo. It was a much darker brown than the walnut brown shown. I also find that the bag is smaller than I imagined inside ....not much room for my gear. The quality the bag is made of is fine. The color is way off. Not happy with my purchase. I will probably just give it away . When I read the other persons review about her red bag not being the right color it prompted me to write my own review. Otherwise I just chalk it up as an online purchase disappointment.

I purchased this bag approximately seven months ago and have used it 85% of the time since then as I have epiphanie bag as well. I carry it daily with my dslr inside. It's great to have my camera available at all times without others knowing that I have it in my "purse." I love the look as well as the mustard color. It can become heavy when worn crossbody but when shooting, I get rid of my daily purse items to lighten the load. I definitly plan to buy another kelly moore bag. The quality is great and I am very pleased with my purchase.
