About Billingham:

Billingham are a family owned company, manufacturing camera bags for the world’s photographers since 1973 alongside a range of leisure and laptop bags. All bags are made in the West Midlands area of England, a region famous for manufacturing. A core reason for Billingham’s longevity is the fact that from the start, the Billingham family were determined that their products would always be made to the very highest standards from the best available materials to provide high levels of protection for their valued contents.

A notable feature of Billingham camera bags is that they are made from a distincive 3-layer waterpoof canvas that never needs reproofing. They also feature genuine top grain leather and solid brass details.

Like any premium product, the quality of materials, design and craftsmanship that goes into creating a Billingham means that it represents a significant investment. It’s important that they don’t just look beautiful, but that they do their job of protecting equipment wherever they are and whatever they’re being used for – year in and year out.

The best amongst my Billingham bags by far I must say it this one, Hadley One in Navy and Chocolate. I completely transformed this camera bag into an all purpose bag which I used daily. This is my second bag in Navy / Chocolate being my first is The Weekender and I adore the color combo. Hadley One was designed for both as a camera bag as well as an all purpose bag suitable from all ages in mind. I actually put my Thomas in early retirement and 100% use the Hadley One both in my officeworks and travels. The combintation Navy Blue with Chocolate is something not acceptable to me before but once I laid my eyes on the Weekender it complete changed my thought and blew me away. Carrying the Hadley One is a bliss from inside and out... because not only are you carrying a very prestigious designed bag but the inside is very sufficient for anything not to mention there is a special compartment enclosed for your 14in laptop. I won't be surprise if my 11th Billingham bag will also be Hadley One in Sage.

Excellent materials and manufacturing quality, where you can carry the equipment very well protected against inclement weather and possible blows. It also has enough pockets for accessories.

As with my other Billingham bags, this one is excellent. It is my daily bag and has travelled with me well. I have had a clip made to hold the handles closed when wearing it but aside from that I can't fault it exceptional as always

Billingham are without doubt the best camera bag. I have six of them! Though the Eventer and the Eventer mkII are both flawed. i wrote to you when i bought the first one and said the losing straps are too short. now i own the mkII and it's the same story :/

Billingham has the right size for any camera combo with or without lens. The classic look and superior workmanship next to now, with Billingham you will never go wrong.

This was a repair to a 45-year-old Billingham bag. It was assessed, quoted for and delivered back to me in record time, despite being around the Christmas period. The work was impeccable, as was the return packaging in a nice Billingham cotton bag.

I have several Billingham products, one bag nearly 40 years old. There is a quality and robustness that in my opinion cannot be beaten. I like the understated and unflashy finish which does not highlight the very expensive optics within.

I thought there was a hard board on the bottom of the bag. But it is not. Even so, I think this quality and design are the best.

Used the custom colour service for the first time and overall the experience was great and only took two weeks. I went for a 445 bag in imperial blue and it’s stunning. Certainly won’t lose it easily! There was personal email service and everything was easy but I wasn’t able to deviate from standard at all and would have liked a couple of images of my “special” bag in production. Maybe a little more personalisation is something that could be investigated, especially when the production line is being held to change colours. Really love this bag and the care and attention that came with it as standard. I also bought a pair of matching delta pockets that were in stock, and had my choice of orange interior partitions! I’d say the customisation charge is a real bargain and I may well use it again. Thanks Billingham.

I bought my Hadley Pro in 2005. Not only is it still in use but I can still get attachments that fit it! The end pocket AVEA 7 increases the storage available and allows an increase in kit without the need to buy a new bag. Happy customer.

Having purchased a Black Pedlars Hadley Pro with bright orange lining I was made aware that Billingham makes an insert set in the same bright orange. The colour match was perfect and the build quality was excellent. I just love the contrasting colours which make the finding of small black objects, thumb grip, spare battery, flash sync etc a doddle! Brilliant Billingham!

I have been looking at billingham bags on and off for the past few years but finally decided to pull the trigger. Chose the small hadley and it’s perfect for my one camera and some rolls of film, with the front pockets holding filters and spare batteries. The construction of the bag is faultless and I’ve been caught out in the rain multiple times in the month or so that I’ve owned my bag and not a drop of water has got inside. The feel of this product oozes quality and I see it as a long term investment that would easily stand the test of time. The inside liner is soft and I have no worries if it marking my gear ( I’ve even ran bag first into a wall with all the gear perfectly protected ) highly recommended to someone wanting a stylish and ergonomic camera bag.

Today I received my 6th Billingham bag in 25 years, a beautiful Hadley Small Pro to carry a Leica M, four lenses and accessories. I have previously got an Alice, Aveo pouches, a Hadley Pro, a Pola Airline and finally this beauty. It's a pleasure seeing the small improvements to the designs (i.e. the new Hadleys sport removable shoulder straps) while maintaining the legendary quality. Even non photographers look at them as something special; made for conossieurs. Once in a hotel elevator a person couldn't resist asking me where I had purchased it and when I mentioned a famous photography store, the guy said: "I'm not a photograher but I'd love one as a carry on bag for travel"; I then showed him the removable insert of my original Hadley Pro and the man said, "I'm definitely getting one, what did you say the name of the store was?". Sadly B&H no longer carries Billingham; gladly, my new bag cost me here the same it would have cost me on their online store, or slightly less, thanks to the better carrier fares. Nevertheless, I shall remain a fan of the brand as the quality, service, design and value is par none. My next order --that I regret not having thought of at the time of my last- will be a couple of large Aveos for lenses and a couple of new straps for my almost 20 year old Hadley Pro.

I always had a great dilemna when comes to buying bags not until I have tried Billingham. Fully made in England with rich heavy quality leather which you can always carry with pride and comes with variety of colors either of canvas or FibreNyte. How can one go wrong in buying Billingham? I am on my third Billingham bag and counting.

I bought a second hand Billingham in the '90s that was probably made in the '70s and is still going strong. I bought the Stowaway as a smaller everyday bag as is made just as well as my old one!

I have owned more than 8 different bags from a stowaway upto a 550. Most recent purchase is a Thomas briefcase. I was skeptical initially because to me billingham is not leisure bags. Until the navy canvas launched, I take the plunge :)
