Camera bags and phone pouches are functional, protect your gear but are so boring. Hine Mizushima's [handcrafted bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamagotchi-handbag) are anything but boring.

These functional art pieces for your purse are fun, funky, colourful conversation pieces. Great not just for [cameras and phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photo-creator-mini-cam) but cosmetics, ipods and many items a girl needs to carry around these days . The designs come in different styles of cameras and even a push button phone.

The bags are zipperless are custom made from thick high quality Japanese felt or cotton canvas. All are hand- stitched with [Velcro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sun-home-infrared-sauna-blanket) enclosures. Numbers on the bags are created on a Gocco printer. Delightful details like buttons, ribbons and tape simulate real camera buttons, lenses and straps. Perfect for the gadget afflicted who needs to organise a purse.
