Meliae Mia Tan

I'm a professional wedding photographer and I was looking for a small camera bag that looked more like a purse to carry at weddings and my shoots. I stumbled upon the Meliae bag and once I saw it, I knew I had to give it a try! I knew that the bag would be too small to fit an actual camera, but it can fit a detached full frame body and lens inside. My purpose for the bag is to carry a few lenses and film that would be easy to swap out (basically just carry what I need for a shoot). I love that this bag is able to fit at least two professional lenses, two flashes, or one 70-200mm lens inside with room to spare. There are two side pockets inside that fits perfectly for memory cards and extra batteries. There is an open pouch in front of the camera (but hidden from the flap) which makes it the perfect fit for my phone, lipstick, and other small items. On the backside of the bag, there's a zipper pocket where I like to keep my wallet. The bag is made of real leather which is more durable. One of my favorite parts of the bag is that the shoulder strap is adjustable so that it fits my body. It also comes with a shoulder pad which is almost essential to have since camera gear gets very heavy! Overall, I love this bag and will continue to use it for my shoots and weddings. If you are looking for a bag to only carry a few gear, this is a great bag!

I was looking for a camera bag for my wife....nothing large like a full-fledged backpack, but something a bit more compact that can carry an SLR and a lens or two. Or maybe a P&S and a few other items. Unfortunately, it seems like most cross-body camera bags are designed for men, or are cutesy but not necessarily well-made or practical, or scream out "HEY THIS IS A CAMERA BAG!!! EXPENSIVE GEAR IN HERE!!".When I saw this meliae bag, I was a bit hesitant at first because it looks like it's a relatively new listing. But the price was right, the design was stylish, and based on what I could tell from the pictures and other reviews, the quality was solid. Decided to give it a shot, and so far we're quite pleased with the purchase. It looks and feels exactly like how it's advertised! The build is solid, stitching is great, the clasp is pretty strong. Definitely a great choice.A few things to note for potential buyers:1) This is made from GENUINE leather, so in terms of weight, it's not going to be light like bags that are made out of certain synthetic materials or fabric.2) Pay attention to the dimensions before purchasing. If you're looking for a bag that can store a bunch of lenses + a flash + a water bottle + a huge bunch of keys + sunglasses + etc etc ... this isn't the bag for you. You'll most likely need an XL messenger bag, or even a backpack.

I was seriously impressed by the quality of this bag the moment I received it! I have a similar larger camera bag that I use for weddings (from Kamrette), and this one is it’s mini twin! It’s the perfect size for my portrait sessions where I really only need one camera body and an extra lens. It can be a bit difficult to fit a full frame body with a lens attached in this bag - it can be done but it’s a tight squeeze. But I was able to fit my Nikon D750 with a 50mm 1.4 attached, as well as my 85mm 1.4 and my phone, keys and ID.Either way, I love the look, the magnetic closure on the bag, and little dividers, the strap, the hardware, everything! It’s stylish and beautifully made. Highly recommend!

The quality of this bag is topnotch, with features of a high end purse and it does have a very stylish look to it when carrying it. The compartments are easy to adjust to fit most cameras and a flash or another lens, but not much more than that. The side pocket is too slim and tight to put much more than a phone in it with very little left to put anything else in it. I did use the zippered portion of the case to put additional memory cards in a case with additional batteries. The drawback to this bag is that it's much heavier than expected once you have your gear in it and it't very stiff like a suitcase. I would probably have chosen a much softer sided bag to lessen the weight of the total bag, but it still looked very nice at the wedding I attended. It isn't quite casual enough to look like anything other than a camera bag which I was trying to avoid. But overall it's a very nice case for a point and shoot camera or even a DSLR.

100% QualityThe leather, metal and cloth is strong and luxurious. Holds as much as my fuji xt4, along with my 50-140mm and 35mm fujinon lenses, a cleaning kit and more.it seems some buyers were having trouble with the magnet being too short, i had no issue with this which leads me to believe they fixed the length.All in all this product is just steller, Considering buying the black version next. Great job Meliae. ❤

This camera bag is perfect for those who travel with a DSLR but still want to look stylish! It is leather and very well made - I am looking forward to taking it on my next trip. Inside there are sections that are able to be moved where they are needed for camera or additional lenses inside. Definitely recommend this product!! I am able to fit my DSLR, a wide angle lens as well as a few other accessories inside. There are also outside pockets perfect for a phone or extra camera accessories!!

Perfect size for carrying around a mirrorless camera (Fujifilm X-T1 pictured here), with room for a spare lens and/or other essentials. Feels very sturdily built and nice enough to wear more dressed up.

This bag is the perfect size for everyday use and is an upgrade from letting my camera float around my regular handbag, as I've gotten into the habit of doing for years. I typically carry around a mirrorless camera with an extra lens and accessories, plus my regular everyday necessities. I like that it's real leather, the two Velcro dividers are plenty for my needs, and the front and back pockets are great too. I like the classic styling and gold accents. It should withstand a couple years of heavy use!
