This set is the perfect accompaniment to the Instax mini 11 camera. Available in blue or pink, the set includes a PE-plastic faux-leather case with shoulder strap, 29-slot photo album and 10 hanging picture frames.
The mini 40 is the mini 11, just with fancy, old-school looks. So, it makes sense that the case and shoulder strap to go with it should be extra suave.
One of the best things about the SQ1, other than its cool 1:1 photo ratio, is the colour tones it comes in. The official case matches each of the colours, so you can appreciate the bling even while keeping it safe.
The WIDE 300 is one of the largest cameras in the Instax range. This messenger-style bag will keep it safe and stored on your shoulder until it's needed to snap a memory.
