I’m super excited to share today’s giveaway with you from a fun new company called Camera Coats. 

Emily Ashby is the talented lady behind this inventive idea and here is a little bit about her and what Camera Coats are:

In February of 2010 we took a family trip. If you have kids you know how that is…bags, strollers, carseats, blah, blah… Since we were flying, our hands were especially full. I wanted to take my Nikon SLR, but did NOT need another bag to carry onto the plane and didn’t want to check my little bundle of joy. (Anyone nodding their head about now?:))
So, I went into problem solving mode. I had made a little fabric bag/holder/protector for my 6 year old’s video game and decided my camera was more important…so I threw my camera in it, put it in the diaper backpack, and off we went.


It was life changing I tell you. My camera was protected and I didn’t have to haul another bag around! I kept that little cover on my camera (wearing it around my neck) as we went to the beach, the Magic Kingdom, and everywhere else. I was in love. My little “coat” protected my camera from the bumps of crowds, kids spills, sun, rain, snow, sand, and anything else that came my way. My friends wanted one. And thus, began our journey with Camera Coats. We hope you love them as much as we do!

I recently had the chance to test drive one of Emily’s cute camera coats {the one pictured below} and I loved it. I shoot with a canon 5D mk II and so I went the PRO size and my camera fit in it nice and snug and when carrying it around with me on my shoulder it felt very padded, safe and easy to access. I found it a really great alternative to carrying my camera around in its bag all the time. It was really quite freeing! 🙂

  7. What a great idea! Hard to pick just one (could see needing a “wardrobe” of these! But my fave would have to be Touch of Glitter!
    Thanks for the chance

  54. I love the gray chevron or the yellow sparkle damask. LOVE! And I also love so much their support for an organization that provides opportunities for adults w/ disabilities. As a mom of a son with Down syndrome I love companies that give back in this way:)

  85. Cool! I like the Glimmer of Paris Black Waterproof in the pro size since I almost always have a larger lens on & will eventually be upgrading to the Canon 5D Mark III.

  95. There are so many cute ones I had a hard time finding a favorite! But I think the Glimmer of Paris/Black {Waterproof} is quite charming. 🙂 I think my camera would be rather snazzy be-robed in such prettiness.

  102. I like the one called Trav`s Jacket. It is waterproof so that is why I like it. I need to see if any of the other designs are waterproof.
