I know Turntable lab isn't the place to go to for a "deal"...but they have a DJ bag for $400 goddamn dollars...

The bag looks useful, but...$400 dollars?

It seems like the cost of all things Dj related seems to be sky rocketing. Is it justified? Are people buying this shit? I'd rather put $400 forward for equipment/records/etc...is it because they know DJ's don't "have" to spend money on records anymore? I'd love to hear from anyone wtih some insight on this shit...

    I get bags from 123dj.com.

    Inexpensive, and decent (not great) quality.

    My current bag, which I'm looking to replace, has been around for about 5 years. I, personally, think that's a good shelf life for a bag.

    Made in USA and limited to a run of 300. That probably explains the price.

    Does someone make DJ Depends so I can shit & piss on myself while I rock?

    It's that nobody can see the inside of the bag (since it's camo) that makes it $400.

    At $400, it's crossed over from DJ Accessory to Fashion Accessory.

    There's a certain British dj who fills up pint glasses after he emptied them.

    Aren't these just glorified laptop bags at this point?

    Lexdray makes uber-expensive bags of all types. That DJ bag is for someone who wants to be seen carrying a Lexdray, not for someone who actually DJ's. The bags are beautiful and well made, but fuck a $400 backpack...

    Yes DJ accessories are too damn expensive. The struggle to keep working equipment is more than enough for me. Decided a long time ago to just go with what works. While on the topic of DJ bags, I'd highly recommend a Tucker & Bloom a company run by a fellow Strutter:

    http://www.tucker-bloom.com/

    After running though record bags every year or so grabbing one was a game change. Been toting one of these for 4 years now and still holding up strong. A little pricey but you're paying for quality, a bag hand made here in the US. Don't mean to de-rail the thread but these bags are something I stand behind and I don't endorse no shit!

    I could see spending $400 on a beautifully constructed, super soft, leather bag. That?? Laughter

    I wanna get to the level where I can make a DJ bag out of Kanye's actual head.

    The best thing about that bag must be: "Storage for 6-8 records"

    If you guys are looking we've got a bag for 45's we designed with Rich Medina coming out in a few weeks. Here's a photo from a recent shoot. Pretty excited to use this one myself.

    I should give props to a friend mine and his bag company too:

    http://www.teamworkbags.com/Home.htm

    Made in USA. Checkout the green canvas line.
    The 'WJS Messenger' bag is pretty great, and there is a well padded pouch for laptops.

    On the other hand, I just got the Pioneer DDJ-SX controller for 1K which is pretty much 2 CDJs and a 4-channel mixer in one, which would cost 3K.

    Much like Mr H. Leech I was super tempted to get one of your bags and the kind offer above proved irresistible. Thanks!

    So we're calling hookers "DJ accessories" now? I just can't keep up with you kids these days and your crazy slang.
