Aimed at entry-level photographers, the ‘Pretty Boy’ range comes in nine sizes, from XXXS to XXXL, and four colours.

The design changes when you move from the small to the medium models, with padded dividers appearing to cater for larger cameras such as DSLRs.

The model on test rests at the smaller end of the range – XXXS in fact – yet it offered more than enough capacity in the main pouch for a larger compact camera. Extra storage is offered through a front pocket, and the ‘Pretty Boy’ comes complete with removable shoulder strap and even a belt buckle Velcro adapter if so inclined.

The ‘Pretty Boy’ further cements Crumpler’s emerging position in the photo bag market with a sensible padded shell, genuinely useful storage and diverse cosmetic styling.

Verdict:
Sensible, small but also funky

Pros:
Removable shoulder strap and belt so different carrying options

Cons:
It’s called the Pretty Boy – but that’s all we had to gripe about
