Has anyone bought the "Lovetily" camera bag? If so, do you like it?
Do not have it but it looks nice.

This one?
Lovetily is just a reseller. Who knows who makes that bag...and they don't tell you (red flag).

If I were you I'd watch B&H, Adorama and even Amazon Prime and the other "big boys" for a bag.
I looked at the pix on the Lovetily site and the pix of the bag on the models back doesn't agree with the apparent size shown in the other pix. I didn't even see bag dimensions.
Verify their return policy before you order.

If you look at the lead image you can see how the material has been wrinkled and pulled by the weight of the pack's contents. That would suggest that it is thin and flexible. Most quality camera backpacks have some structure to them to afford protection to your gear, and would not appear distorted like that.

I just recently backed this product on Kickstarter: It is the Top Shelf camera bag by Bevis Gear. Because it is on Kickstarter, the bag is not actually in production yet. I looked at the link you provided for lovetily.com and it uses the same photos as the Kickstarter campaign. I have emailed the creators on Kickstarter to see if the lovetily.com bag is possibly a first generation but when I googled reviews for lovetily.com, the website is considered a scam site and would most likely not deliver any product.
The camera bag looks very good though and I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will be a nice bag when it is finally in production and delivered.

I too saw this camera bag on kickstarter and placed an order. My credit card denied kickstarter payment. I think I'll wait until it is in production and pay a little more, after reviews start coming in.

My photo gear costs a bundle. I try and protect it well. I’m not rough on my equipment, but I’m not immune to some rough handling by mistake. The most expensive bag that I can buy is the one that allowed a precious lens to get damaged with minor trauma. I buy reputable brands like LowePro, Tenba, Pelican, MindShift, Tamrac, CaseLogic, PacSafe, Thinktank, Domke, etc. They, and several more, all make exceptional bags. B&H, Adorama, Ebags, REI, Sierra Trading have all received my business at some point, usually B&H and Adorama. With photography, I never use EBay or Amazon because to often they sell through third party merchants who can’t make it as a stand alone business. I’ve had bait and switch with both and prices are typically no better than reputable sellers. There are always great bags on sale and saving 20 bucks to buy an unknown just isn’t worth it to me.

You might also check out KEH, MPB etc. since they sometimes have pre-owned bags, backpacks and other accessories in addition to cameras and lenses.

I have recently had two bags that have failed . The first was an AMAZON Basics backpack, and the second, a no-name bag my wife gave me for Christmas. My problem is I am 6 feet tall, and weigh about 210-220 lbs. Beautiful, well-made bags! BUT apparently designed for persons of smaller stature. On the backpack, full extension of straps, the waist strap rode way above my middle, and the chest strap was uncomfortably tight. On the other over the shoulder bag, the strap at full extension let the bag ride halfway between my waist and armpit. So, if possible, try before you buy. I'll probably go with Tenba or Crumpler bags, providing the straps are long enough for comfortable carry.
