Paper Bag Co - The Instagram/Foodie Bag

Hi lovelies! You may remember The Cotton Bag Co's The Selfie Bag that I posted about a little while ago (if you missed it, find that post here). Well, today I have a similar kit from sister company Paper Bag Co. Paper Bag Co have created The Instagram Bag, a special bag with carefully curated items for those who love a good food photo! While I can't deny the odd food photo popping up in my camera reel, we all know there are many more nail pics there. Just like The Selfie Bag, The Instagram Foodie Bag also has some great items and tips for those perfect mani shots! Read on for a look at everything inside and more info.

First up, let's have a look at the bag itself. Each kit is packed nicely into a black printed canvas bag. The bag has a different design on either side, with this cracked egg image on the front, and #TheFoodieBag hashtag design on the back.

The bag is fully zippable at the top, to keep your photography gear secure and safe while tucked away. There is also a zippable internal pocket for any valuables, as well as a velcro mesh divider insert inside. The bag feels like a great quality canvas, and the straps seem hardwearing.

Let's have a nosy at the contents, shall we? Included alongside the bag are some photography tip postcards, a 5 in 1 pop up light up diffuser and reflector, and four backdrops.

First up are these gorgeous postcards. Each postcard has a beautifully shot photograph one side, paired with tips on how to create such a shot yourself on the other. What I love most about these is that the tips are specifically for phone cameras and phone photography - thanks to expert Matt Inwood.

Next is a 15 inch reflector and diffusor duo. Between the pair of these, you can manipulate light and shadows to get that lighting just right. I always seem to be fighting glare on my mani photos recently, so the diffusor especially will be a perfect addition to my kit! I also like that there is both a silver and gold reflector.

Lastly, each bag also contains four backdrop papers from Black Velvet Styling. There's a good variety of colours within the four options, so I reckon there's something everyone will love. I was also impressed with how nicely sized these are! I was expecting them to be a lot smaller, so it was a pleasant surprise as I unrolled them.

While I may not be a food photographer, I am partial to food nail art! Here's a quick selection of some of my more recent food themed manicures.

What do you think? Are you partial to a food photograph? I know some of you were impressed by the previous Selfie Bag, so I hope you like the slightly different make up of this one too!

You can find The Instagram Bag on Paper Bag Co's website here. The full kit is priced at £39.95, and includes everything shown above, as well as postage and same day despatch. Paper Bag Co also sell lots of sustainably sourced paper bags for all occasions - you can find those here.

Hope to see you in the next post!
