'Morally Toxic' Is A New Brand Of Camera Bags For Photographers

A brand-new camera bag called 'Morally Toxic' is launching today and it's the brainchild of 3 Legged Thing founder, Danny Lenihan, who has spent the last 5-years developing the brand. 

Morally Toxic brings together British design, coupled with a fusion of alien and reptilian design concepts that rip up the rule book and make a stand in a market that's saturated with corporate designs. 

"This has been a long time coming, and it’s so exciting to launch another brand, eleven years after I brought 3 Legged Thing to the world," said Danny Lenihan, CEO and Founder of Morally Toxic and 3 Legged Thing. "I have much greater aspirations for Toxic, and we’re already working on an entire range of bags for hiking, gym, kit bags, fashion and any number of other bags that you see every day on the high street. I’ve spent five years working on the initial designs, honing and redesigning to optimise everything, from the aesthetics to the workflow, to security and protective innovations."

The first two bags launching in the collection are a Valkyrie camera backpack and a Wraith messenger/sling bag available in two sizes and three colours - Onyx, Emerald, and Sapphire.

Setting them apart from other bags, apart from their style, are features such as the ‘Frog’ pocket which is a water-resistant wet/dry pocket that gives users a place to stash wet gear away from electronics and Pocket Dividers which are bag dividers with integrated pockets that ensure cables, cloths, filters and the like can be stowed separately.

Both camera bags are constructed from premium fabrics including Morally Toxic's own unique jacquard, which combines a vintage map of the company's home village, Stagsden, with a reptilian print. Due to the woven pattern, and the way the fabric is cut to tesselate, this means each bag will be unique.

Valkyrie Backpack

Toxic’s Valkyrie backpack is available in Medium (20L) and Large (25L) sizes and feature YKK standard or Aquaguard zippers, a secret stash pocket to stow money or a passport and a soft-touch protective padded pocket for a laptop or tablet. 

Built for comfort, the Valkyrie rear fascia features a 3-point, air-flow back support system, with cushioned lumbar and scapula pads, designed to allow air to flow freely, keeping the users' backs cool. The shoulder straps have been contoured to fit all body shapes and sizes, and feature thick, comfortable padding with air-mesh. They feature both horizontal and vertical webbing, for the attachment of accessories, too. An adjustable chest strap adds security, and detachable padded waist straps are included for comfort, and security on more challenging terrains. There are also built-in tripod carry straps and a retaining loop to hold the legs together when walking and there's a side pocket for a drinks bottle. 

Wraith Messenger/Sling Bag

Wraith is a camera messenger/sling bag is available in Medium (15L) and Large (20L) sizes. The bag’s front flap protects the two organiser pockets, that have counterflow zips to prevent side access or theft and houses a hidden pocket for valuable items.

At the rear of Wraith is the laptop pocket, with corner access YKK Aquaguard zipper. The rear panel also houses a luggage strap, for connecting to suitcases or roller bags. The side of the bag features a mesh pocket for a water bottle or flask.

The shoulder strap is made of woven nylon webbing, can be easily adjusted and is finished with a detachable shoulder pad, with air-mesh and silicone grips. It has a choice of side or rear attachment points to enable use as a messenger or sling-style bag. All D-rings and hardware are Duralock nylon.
