I received my external flash on Christmas Eve, as a gift from my father-in-law. The next day, I wanted to carry it around with me, even though I was pretty much afraid of it. I usually carry around my My Girl Thursday tote filled with all of my knitter/mama paraphernalia. It just feels right. I tuck my camera into its Zing
and it gets lugged around on my shoulder as well. No biggie. Well, with the addition of the speedlight, I knew I needed a different sort of bag.
Enter the American Tourister Escort overnight bag. It was sitting on top of my bookshelf and filled with my vintage linens–sheets, pillowcases, some scraps. On Christmas morning, while my husband was packing up the car, I was scurrying around, throwing its contents on to my bed for later pickup and then transferring my tote bag contents into it. I placed the speedlight and camera on top of diapers and then my boys’ knit hats on top of them for some extra cushioning. It was perfect! My tote bag now hangs around as my “express” bag, for those quick trips to the market or PO.
This vintage (c.1975) lovely is now my camera bag.
Oh. Yeah.
It’s beautiful and in such pristine condition :)
It’s a gorgeous bag. x
Love it! Ever since you told me about this I’ve been on the lookout for one! I’m still hunting…looking for one in orange, yellow or green!

ha! My roomie collects these and gave me a turquoise one last year – I use it all the time. BUT – don’t leave it in your car when it’s hot because the leather will get too hard and crack:(
It totally suits you!!
Oh I LOVE this bag! Totally in love with it. The color is great.
I want something like this to use as a diaper bag!
That is awesome! I’ve been shopping for a camera bag recently. I think you’ve got the best one I’ve seen so far!
what a treasure! a beautiful thoughtful gift!
