Bags meets fashion and eco-happiness (sometimes)

Urban Easy Gear Bags

Katabags. Practical. Takes a beating. Pockets for lots of stuff. Parent or not. Some with ridiculously wild color choices. Good padding for gear. Website has entertainment value and sensible product catalogue.

Terraclime. Mostly recycled. Very practical design. Lowepro

Looks like a messenger bag. Cushy as though its designed for being tossed about.
Almost completely of recycled materials. Lowepro sets a high mark on this series of bags. Nicely done!

Rickshaw: Enter great design and big heart

This company is hopefully trend setting. Creating beautiful bags, well thought functionality and zero footprint. Admittedly they are optimally designed for notebook computers and other gear, but could be adapted for camera gear and honestly, I'm trying to get them to take on camera hauling as a shared passion!
