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 love the bag, the way it’s made and looks. And it holds my cameras and lenses perfectly. I particularly like that the new Hadley small is narrower than the previous model. It’s suits me much better. Thank you.

I recently purchased the Hadley Small Pro to use when travelling with my mirrorless camera. It is a beautifully handcrafted bag but more importantly, it is very strong & durable. I never worry about the safety of my equipment. I also love the quick release system and that it's water resistant & the shoulder strap is very comfortable. It's capacity is perfect for day trips when I don't need to bring a full line up of lenses & other camera equipment. Billingham products are worth every penny & are highly recommended!!

Excellent bag. Well padded. Versatile. Fair price for the product. Always go for the pro. Having the grab handle on top makes it so much easier to use.

I wanted a bag that was high quality, minimalist, beautiful, travel-friendly, water resistant and small enough to look proportionate to my height (168cm) yet large enough to house a mirrorless camera, some prime lenses and other photo accessories. The Hadley Small Pro fits the bill and exceeded my expectations I've fit in a Fujifilm XT3 in it with a 23mm XF f2 lens and there's still space for at least 2 more prime lenses that I will purchase in future. The front pockets are little caverns that fit all the bits and bobs of photographic equipment: chargers, batteries and the like. And they do this without removing space from the bag, plus are expandable or can be made smaller depending on your needs. The luggage strap and sturdy handle are great, thoughtful additions that come in handy checking into flights or hotels. This bag btw will look great and appropriate wherever you are, if it's checking into a luxury hotel or walking on the street. It's very versatile. The Khaki Canvas I find looks a bit lighter in colour on website than it is. However the Khakhi colour pairs beautifully with the tan leather and the olive green interior. The build quality is some of the best I've seen on any camera bag. The leather used is thick, top notch full grain leather that will age beautifully together with the canvas. The hardware is solid brass. No complaints whatsoever on the build quality. It feels like this bag will last for years. From what I understand, you cannot add on side pockets to this bag as you can on the Hadley Pro, but maybe this is good as this bag is meant for a light/minimal/day setup. I believe the limited space coaxes you to be much more intentional in what you put into this bag and what you use it for. Really happy with this purchase!
