Good news girls and boys. Jo Totes and Kelly Moore bags are now available in South Africa. Camera Couture is an online store based in Cape Town. They haven’t been up and running for too long but they are growing at a steady pace and should soon offer more than just these two brands.
I own two Jo Totes bags, the Rose Moss and the Betsy Mustard. I’ve always wanted a Kelly Moore but will have to save a bit more for that. If you want to look less nerd and more style savvy fashionista then these bags are definitely for you.
The Rose bags comfortably fit an SLR body with a lens attached, a secondary lens, cleaning equipment, extra memory cards and your phone and purse. I personally don’t load my bag because when it gets heavy it gives me a bit of neck ache due to it only having one shoulder strap. The Betsy is a bit narrower which means that things don’t have as much room but it’s a great addition to any camera bag collection. The best thing is that you don’t even have to use them for camera equipment.
