Pros: While it’s not a camera purse produced by Coach or Marc Jacobs, this is another option suited for those looking more for a brand name. Here we have the Patti bag, built from sheep-skin leather and textile denim.

15. Rose Camera Bag by Kate Spade
Pros: Camera shaped purses are hard to come by. Unless you’re searching on Etsy or looking for a handmade camera shaped purse, they’re practically impossible to find; which is why this Kate Spade camera purse is the most notable camera shaped purse on the market. This funky camera shaped purse comes in all kinds of colors and styles, adding some spunk to your shoots. It’s made of boxy wicker and accented with silver patent leather. The lens cap on the camera shaped purse opens to reveal a secret pocket to securely carry any extra essentials you may need.
Cons: This Kate Spade camera purse may be an acquired taste; though it’s still functional, adjustable and quality-crafted, it won’t hold your DSLR. It’s more catered towards looks than holding gear. And since it's on the more expensive side of the spectrum, this camera shaped purse is an option suited for those looking for more of a designer camera bag purse rather than a camera purse to store gear in.

Build: ★★★☆☆
Ease of Use: ★★★★☆
Value: ★★★★☆

Rose Camera Bag Quick Specs
- Price: $298
- External size: 5.7” x 7.5” x 3”
