Would this stand the test of time? Not sure, but since its a small bag carrying very little gear, I’m not too worried. Ona states on their site that the hardware on this bag is Antiqued Brass, and I have a feeling that means it’s not solid brass, instead a mixed metal coated to look like antiqued brass. However, the dividers are a little too soft for my liking so I grabbed some extra dividers from another bag which work more to my liking. The bag comes with one small divider and at the time of this review, you can buy a two pack of extra dividers for $10 from their site. The felt interior is as soft as a kitten and has decent padding. One thing to note is that because it’s a soft leather, it does scratch very easily, but that adds character in my opinion. I’ve seen other leather bags, but this so far is one of my favourites.

Like your old man passed on the camera bag he used as a young chap (minus the old library book smell). Very soft to the touch and had a nice antiqued look. I was surprised at how nice it looked and felt. I picked up a Bowery in the Antique Cognac Leather.

The Bowery comes in many colour choices, and you can get it in leather or canvas. But putting a leather bag into another big bag doesn’t make sense to me. On the website Ona states that you can remove the shoulder strap from the bag making it a stand alone insert (like I wanted in the first place). The strap included is all leather as well and it’s nice and soft so it’s not abrasive. One thing I would like to see different is the depth of the back pocket increased to fit an iPad mini just a little better. It’s just the way it goes when your bag is made from something that doesn’t stretch well. This isn’t a flaw placed solely on this Ona bag, it’s on so many bags out there.

Maybe a lens cloth, pen or an energy bar. I say useless because they’re small and don’t stretch out much so it’s hard to get anything in there. Two under the main flap, great for small note books, light meter, filters etc and 2 slightly useless ones on the side. The Bowery has five pockets – One on the back for an iPad mini or notebook etc. I was also slightly bored of walking around with the same old black camera bag and wanted something more stylish. I was tired of carrying around larger bags when all I wanted to bring was one camera and a lens. This is one of their smallest bags designed for smaller camera kits, film, mirrorless and Leica systems. Finally, I was lucky enough to get an Ona Bowery in to review.

Why didn’t I do this in the first place?! There in front of me was a series of amazing looking, fashionable camera bags for men! Canvas and leather bags in all different sizes and styles. Half a year later, I remembered Ona and looked them up online. The idea works, just make sure you buy the insert before the bag. Thankfully I got the Fossil bag at a good price from an outlet centre because I never got the insert, and I sold the bag. Plus, I’ve heard stories of their bags busting after minimal use. They’re nice, but not my bag (Get it? Awesome pun). I just wanted a camera bag that was also stylish and well, a Kelly Moore bag just wasn’t my thing. I had purchased a leather bag from Fossil at the time, but wanted to make it a little more functional for shooting. On a real Louis Vuitton bag, the LV logo should be upside down on the back of the bag and right side up on the front.I remember looking for bag inserts (make your non-camera bag into a camera bag) a while back and coming across a company by the name of Ona. Additionally, look at the pattern on the bag and make sure it’s straight, even, and mirrored on both sides of the bag.

This should have a regional code that matches where the bag was made, such as MI, SD, or TH, which all represent regions in France. You can also check the date code located near the opening of the bag. If the stamp is missing or the logo doesn’t match those on authentic Louis Vuitton bags, it’s probably a fake. For example, a real Louis Vuitton purse should always include a stamp pressed directly into the leather that says “Louis Vuitton” and states where the bag was made. However, you may be able to spot a fake by looking at features like the stamps and the pattern on the bag. With so many skillfully made fakes on the market, it can be hard to tell a fake Louis Vuitton purse from the real deal.
