I've been trying to decide between a JoTote Rose or an Epiphanie Lola. I thought I'd decided on the JoTote & was ready to order, but it was out of stock in the color I wanted. So, I've been waffling again. Does anyone have a Lola? If so, do you love it? What do you love or not love about it? Would you be willing to take a picture of the inside w/your stuff in it so I can see what it'll hold?
Thanks! :)

I have one! I will have to dig up a photo of the interior but here is something:

Pros:
It is gorgeous
It is very roomy
Can hold your body with a long lens attached
Has 2 exterior pockets (cell phone sized), 1 zippered interior pocket and then up to 7 compartments.

I have my camera body with 28-75mm lens attached in the center compartment. Also inside are my 50mm, 35mm, kit lens, external flash, phone, a little bag that has cards, batteries and lens caps and some hot wheels. I can also fit my Nook on top of everything and still zip it.

It has a lot of vertical space. If you have a long lens on you can lay it body down with lens up and it will zip just fine.

Cons:
It does not lay flat against you. It is a fat bag. The other ones are longer in length where this one is taller and wider.

I do love mine.

My SIL got a Jotote Rose for Christmas. It is adorable but I would not be able to fit all my stuff in it. I would compare it to a 5million home by Crumpler in size.

I really want a Kelly Moore B hobo bag. I don't buy shoes- I buy camera bags.

These do not show all my stuff in the bag. I don't have any pics handy with everything in there.

Thank you so much Amanda! This helps! It's funny b/c most people I've talked to says the JoTote Rose holds more than the Lola.
I wouldn't want a KM back b/c they don't hold much at all. But, the styles, I do love the Posey bag! :)

They probably do hold about the same amount. But if you like vertical space the Lola is taller.

Amanda, how tall is it? Would I be able to fit my 70-200mm lens? And how durable is it. That is my main concern since they are so $$. I just bought an Amazon backpack camera bag since I couldn't fit my big boy lens in my old Tracy Joy bag with my camera. But the backpack is plain black blah. Sigh I'm becoming a collector myself!

This is not scientific at all but I stood a ruler up in the middle of the bag and could almost zip it up. About 11 inches from the bottom of the bag to the top.

Did you see the Clover? I am liking that one as a laptop bag! http://www.epiphaniebags.com/#/shopclover/

Oh- it is very durable. I am not easy on bags and I have not had any issues.

Now that is the one I want, and not for a laptop either! (My lappy is HUGE and wouldn't fit) but it looks like it would fit a lot and love the styling...so "my style"!! Ohhh temptations!

Thanks for the inside shots, Amanda! I'd rather have the horizontal space than the vertical, so I'll probably end up going w/the JoTote...plus it's almost half the price. :) Thanks again! :)
