As I am now a photographer and blogger, I have come to need a bag that can work as both a handbag and a camera bag. Hence, I spent a great deal of time scrolling Pinterest this past Autumn and Winter in search of “the perfect bag” – which ended up taking longer than I thought it would. Anytime I found something I liked, it was either in the 1,000 dollar range, sold out, or discontinued. This began to be extremely discouraging, and I figured I would just have to settle for a bag I liked well enough but still not what I was looking for. Needless to say, when I saw this bag modeled on Rach’s blog RD’s Obsessions, I was thrilled.
The Siena Camera bag is everything I had been searching for. It meets all of my needs and looks lovely at the same time. Though it may look small, it can actually hold a DSLR camera and lens. Handcrafted with top quality Italian leather and a unique turncock closure, this sleek bag, as described on the shop website, is “sophisticated and timeless.”
Some other details that I like about the Siena bag are:
Johansen Tote’s Siena Camera Bag is a fabulous purse that I absolutely love. I cannot sing its praises enough and honestly cannot find any fault with it, so, if you are looking for a statement bag but do not want to spend a pretty penny, definitely treat yourself to the Siena.

Wow the bag looks gorgeous! Makes me think I should probably invest in something like this 🙂

Isn’t it?! I just love it!
It looks fantastic! I had no clue it is a camera bag till I read the post. Well found 🙂
I know! I am so glad it works as a camera bag, but looks beautiful like a handbag. 🙂
Goodness, this bag is a beaut! I really love the tan colour as well, super chic! http://kirstiemaccc.blogspot.co.uk/

LOVE that bag – the perfect shade of brown that will go well with anything all year round.

Yes! I am so happy that it will match almost all of my wardrobe 🙂
Love love love this bag! I am currently using just a regular tote as my daily camera bag, but I kinda know that I’m eventually going to have get a dedicated camera bag… yet I was the same as you! I want something visually appealing, yet don’t want to have to take out a small loan. 🙂 I’m totally bookmarking this option!
xo Kelsey | http://www.abalancingpeach.com
That’s what I was using as well, but having dividers that keep my camera from falling on top of breakable things in my purse is really nice! So definitely check out the Johansen Totes website when you decided to purchase a new bag! There are so many different styles and color options to choose from (some of which are even cheaper than this one). xo
It’s BEAUTIFUL! And so are you 🙂 $179, that’s not bad at all considering how cute and functional it is.
These photos are lovely, by the way!
Thanks Maddy! ❤️
You look fantastic! Love your jacket and bag so much!

Love it! I have always wanted a pretty camera bag but at the same time I’m torn…I’m always afraid I’ll regret not taking more lenses in a bigger bag or that they are not protective enough. I need to look into thins, thanks for the review~

I know what you mean. It is so hard to leave lenses behind! Sometimes I don’t feel like carrying them all around, though, so this comes in handy on those days for sure! And I would definitely say that Johansen Tote’s bags are protective enough! This bag is very sturdy and so are the padded dividers 🙂
What a cute camera bag! You would never even know its a camera bag! It just looks like a cute purse! Love it!

This bag is perfect and I definitely know the struggle, it took me a year to find a similar bag, I got mine at Typo. I love bags which are big enough for my camera and my personal items, it’s just more practical than carrying two bags. xx

This is such an awesome find! I carry my camera in a god awful tote bag that is not right for protecting it. I cannot for the life of me purchase one of the black camera bags they sell at camera stores. So ugly. I want to get a new camera bag, but it is never on the top of my shopping list. Shoes seem to get in the way haha.

oooh that is so gorgeous!! I prefer really small cross body bags most of the time. But I do throw that in a tote on work days. I like to make sure I have lots with me in case there is down time. 😉 XO – Alexandra

I have a super ugly black canon camera bag, but something like this is so pretty! It looks like an actual purse, which is the best part.
Ohh I am LOVING that bag! It hits all my faves, the color, the structure, that crossbody strap. So pretty.
