Chic for chicks that click: fashionable DLR camera bags

Isn’t it funny how words can completely change over the course of a few decades? About sixty years ago, the word “tourist” evoked images of a smartly suited couple sipping champagne on a propeller plane before having their trunks taken to a luxurious hotel whilst they went out and calmly enjoyed the sights. These days, when I hear the word “tourist”, I think burnt balding heads, socks worn under sandals and larger louts. Whilst I have thankfully managed to avoid falling into any of those categories myself so far, the one that does always mark me as a stranger is the big ugly blue foam “lunchbox” that I tote my DLR camera around in. So thank heavens and hurrah for the new generation of “it” bags, all of them aimed at chicks that click on the go. They're mostly made of leather and all made by hand (support the small suppliers!).

Observe (geddit?):
