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.

I bought my first Billingham camera bag about 45 years ago and until 20 years ago I had several for all the purposes that came to mind. The quality of manufacture is very high and as a retired professional photographer I know Billingham bags will last for a very long time. As I discovered 20 years when I sold my Billingham bags as a result of equipment changes they have good resale value. My principle concern with my new Billingham bag 445 and the additional pockets I purchased is with the pockets. The arrangement is to prescriptive and make assumptions on the equipment I am going to use. The mix of lenses I would want to use some fit in the pocket perfectly well while another lens has to be squeezed into an adjacent pocket and trying extract it on a cold day is not as easy as I would like. An option to have a more flexible arrangement using partitions would be much better then I can arrange the interior to suit my needs.

Fantastic quality but the item arrived with a half sized divider so I had to buy a full sized divider for £77!! It should ship with the full sized one.

Le sac est très bien et de grande qualité. Cependant avec mon Leica et ses deux objectifs, il demeure un peu juste en taille.

Billingham make good quality products. The materials they use are of a high standard. Overall their products are difficult to fault.

I had a fault on a nearly new bag, and I had to prove my purchase and find receipt. The retailer helped me locate receipt from their records, they had terrific customer serrvice, just like Billingham used to have. The bags are good, but the customer service isn't what it used to be. I like their stuff, but my loyal custom doesn't mean a thing now like most companies, which is so dissapointing.I bought a new insert for an old Packington bag which is the review invitation I think, which I think is great. I got the Packington for less than 25 percent of an an Eventer second hand from a camera shop in terrific condition, and think it's a better bag personally _ I hope they remember how they got so well known, and go back to not assuming everyone is some kind of shifty character trying to pull a fast one _ I have sold hundreds of their products when working in retail, so it was a doubly hurtful attitude to me. Mostly I buy new bags, but I think the heyday of quality may be in the rear view mirror now _ I hope they pull their socks up !

Hi Jon, Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad to hear that the replacement Packington insert is great and that you got a good deal on the bag. I'm sorry to hear though that you were unhappy with our customer service during your repair. Unfortunately, when you haven't bought from us directly we do need to ask for proof of purchase - and I think you'll find this to be true across almost all manufacturers. When a customer doesn't have this we'll always work with the customer to find an alternative proof of ownership or purchase date, but we'd always ask for proof of purchase in this first instance (which we always recommend that customers keep in case it is needed). Kind regards, Billingham Team

Site a bit confusing when it keeps going back to asking which site to use. But good apart from that

These straps are amazing quality and can make a bag look new again. I just wish they where sold separately not always in pairs.

I have made a mistake and I meant to order the pro, Hadley small bag is nice but the company should discontinue this model. With 30 pounds more you get a much better bag , a top handle, a removable shoulder strap and you can hang it on your trolley.

Hi, Thanks for your feedback. We continued this model as some people feel that it is more discrete having no handles etc. I'd also say it's our best looking bag, but that's just a personal opinion! Thanks, Billingham Team

Just about the only bags that don't need a silly rain hood.

Billingham bags are renowned for there standard of workmanship and quality. These are niche bags considering the plethora available using modern materials, however they will no doubt outlast the majority with heavy use. My oldest bag now close to 30 years old and still going. If you’re hill walking etc with heavy kit a backpack is the obvious choice, however landscapers with minimal kit, wedding and generalist photographers etc will find these bags don’t scream camera kit or come with the numerous straps to trip on in congested or confined areas.

I was very pleased with service I received. However the replacement clogball which you provided is large for this size of bag. It does the job but it's much larger than the original. It does not easily pass through the hole on the strap.
