Beautiful material and craftsmanship on compact camera bag
Update 9/13/18 - This bag is great. Better and better with use, like leather should be. Champion!Time will tell how the material holds up, but after about a week, my first impression of this bag is very good. The material and craftsmanship are excellent - it's a beautiful bag and I've gotten many compliments on it (from people who think it's just a purse and don't know my DLSR is inside!)... The leather is beautiful and true to the photos, although it is a natural product so allowances should be made for variances in color and texture. The main compartment interior is lined with soft, cushiony synthetic fabric, but the smaller pockets are not lined, which is fine with me since lining would just take up more space in the smaller pockets.The bag comes with a removable padded basket meant to further protect your DSLR and other delicate equipment from bumps and bruises. It comes with two removable, re-positionable dividers that are easy to customize with hook-and-loop fasteners. I found the basket to be a little too snug with my Pentax K-1, wallet, etc, so I've removed the padded basket and just have the camera nestled lens-down in the bag. I'm fairly careful with my purses anyway and I think the leather exterior and material lining are sufficient protection for normal daily toting around. I wouldn't send it through a baggage check, but it's OK to take to work/out to eat/for a walk in the park, etc.With the padded basket removed I have my K-1 wearing a 24-75/2.8 zoom, a compact prime lens (in a padded bag), wallet, cell phone, spare battery, check book, day planner, a few ink pens, pack of gum, multiple tubes of lipgloss, work lanyard (with elevator fob), house/car keys, and I even found a perfect pouch for my Theta S 360 camera inside. :-) It's all I could possibly need! I'm used to carrying big purses (camera bags in disguise), and this one is on the smaller side of bags that I've carried -- Definitely less spacious than my Kelly Moore Mimi bag, which is where I'm coming from.The hardware is nice, although it was a little oily when I first removed the cellophane that was wrapped around it. It left a greasy spot on a piece of paper pressed up against it. I'm sure that will dissipate with time and use/handling. The straps seem secure, although some of the magnetic-closure flaps don't stay closed, I think once the leather is worn in they will stop popping open on their own. The front buckle can be extended or tightened, but it actually closes with a slide-in snap - you don't have to undo the buckle every time you want to open the top flap of the bag, so that's nice (although not obvious from the images here).My concern is for the stitching on the D-ring loops. Loaded up, I have this bag carrying a hefty weight and I hope the leather and stitching on those loops holds up. It would probably make sense to make that leather loop around the D-ring extra thick, two layers thick, or a synthetic material (like the nylon weave on the back of the cross-body strap - very nice) that won't be prone to stretching or tearing. I'm not having any problems with it yet! But this is the spot I'm going to watch. I'll post an update after a few months of use.

Exceptional Value
Very pleased with this bag. Seems quite sturdy. It fits my Nikon with lens on, plus an extra lens, easily. I like the zippered areas on the back and beneath the flap -- very convenient along with the side pockets and front pouch. When I carry a camera bag I like to use it as a purse as well and this works very nicely for me. I was worried the strap would be uncomfortable but I carried the bag all weekend and wasn't bothered by it. The strap is long enough it could be used cross-body. Before buying, I was also concerned about the quality of the bag (there is only one other review at this time) but I took a chance and was satisfied there as well. The bag seems well made and it is very attractive. I like that the strap unhooks. The top flap closes with a latch, which is quick to open and close, and feels secure. I like that the leather looks a little distressed -- I don't feel like I need to be fussy with it, and that's a relief. I was weirdly attached to my old camera bag, which I hauled with me everywhere I went for several years. This bag already feels like an old friend. I think it's going to last a long, long time. The only area for improvement I really see is that the inner lining isn't as soft and cushy as my previous bag (not quite sure how I feel about that yet, but I do like the way the inner lining has protective flaps that velcro shut above the camera, which my old one did not have) and it's quite stinky when it arrived -- be prepared to air it out in a well ventilated area for 24 hours or so. Oh, and it came with a dust bag for storage which I thought was nice to have, although I don't necessarily expect to need it. Overall I'm exceptionally happy with this bag. Seen in a store, I would have paid much much more for it and still been happy.

Clasp does hold the bag
Very nice camera bag; however, when my wife loaded the bag with her camera stuff and secured the clasp, the clasp did not hold. The clasp is a bit too small to hold when picked up. Nice bag but useless since she cannot have a bag secure enough to keep her camera safe.

Beautiful but front latch is not secure
Beautiful bag and it’s the perfect size for me. Unfortunately after two uses, the front latch no longer securely latches. Was planning on taking this as a carry-on on an upcoming trip, but now I’m not sure if I can trust it to hold things securely. I’m disappointed because it was the PERFECT bag up to that point.Edit/Update: I contacted the company regarding the faulty piece. They asked for pictures of the part and replaced it very quickly. I was able to use the bag and send it through security without losing anything and it was the perfect size. I LOVE this bag and customer service was beyond wonderful. I would very much recommend!

Not as large as I need BUT.....
I love the way this bag looks it is feminine and it looks like a purse to me. I have a need for a larger bag I have a large camera and large lenses. I am not able to fit my D850 with a 24-70 lens attached, my 70-200 lens, and a flash in the bag. I will keep the bag for situations when I know I can pack light. I cannot speak on the quality because I have not used the bag yet but the zippers work and the bag is flaw free.

Good quality bag
I LOVE this bag for my camera! It’s stylish but fits my camera and a backup lens. Just beware it’s a tight fit so you’ll need a slim wallet if you’d like to use this as a purse/camera bag.Also, be sure to put the handle clips facing down. Within the first 20 minutes of wearing it, he clips grasped onto the top flap of the bag and made marks. Once I flipped the clips downward we were back in business and nothing was getting accidentally snagged.

Bag better than expected and excellent customer service
This bag is better than I expected! I love it and will use it for many years. High quality, stylish, and pockets in all the right places. I use it as my purse, not camera bag. Customer service was outstanding. The front buckle fell off somehow, but company worked with me, was very communicative and attentive, and sent me a new one all the way from India at no cost right away. Thank you!
