Photo Bag News

Two of the photography industry’s most tenured women—Lily Fisher, a senior camera bag designer and Deanne Fitzmaurice, a Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer—recently collaborated to create the ideal camera bags for female photographers. After a decade of research and a year-and-a-half of development, the result is the Lily Deanne shoulder bag line from Think Tank Photo.

Lily Deanne bags are designed for quick access to pro-size camera bodies and lenses through the oversized zipper opening. The rare-earth magnetic closures on the main flap and front pockets allow for silent access while protecting delicate clothing. The adjustable non-slip shoulder pad is cushioned for all day comfort.

The Lily Deanne Lucido bag ($199.75) holds one standard DSLR (with one to three lenses) and accessories, or a complete Mirrorless camera system (with three to four lenses) and accessories.  An 8-inch tablet fits inside a dedicated compartment. The Lily Deanne Mezzo ($249.75) holds one standard DSLR (with a mid-range zoom attached), two to three additional lenses and a 10 inch tablet or 11 inch laptop inside a dedicated compartment.

The Lily Deanne Tutto ($299.75) holds one gripped DSLR (with a mid-range zoom lens attached) and two to five additional lenses and 2 flashes, or one standard DSLR (with a 70-200mm f/2.8 attached) and two to five lenses in its main compartment and two flashes, and a 15-inch laptop inside a dedicated compartment.

Lily Deanne bags come in two colors―Chestnut Brown and Black Licorice―and three sizes: Lucido (sleek); Mezzo (middle); and Tutto (everything). A pro photographer can now look stylish with the full-grain Dakota Leather flap and accents, metal hardware with chrome finish, and the Robin’s Egg blue liner. Lily Deanne bags are ideal for wedding and event photography, portraiture, editorial, corporate and commercial photography.

The all fabric exterior is treated with a durable water resistant coating while the fabric underside is coated with polyurethane for water resistance, full-grain Dakota leather, chrome plated metal hardware, neodymium (rare-earth) magnets, highest quality YKK RC-Fuse zippers, 420D velocity nylon, 420 high-density nylon, nylon seatbelt webbing, 320g airmesh, silicone non-slip screenprint, 3-ply bonded nylon thread.
