Conceived, designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom, the Billingham line of camera bags reflect an English preoccupation with excellence. Billingham bags are functional, durable and good looking. Photographers looking for a more "tailor-made" camera bag, to match their own meticulous work-style have chosen Billingham since the inception of the company, 1978. Developed with English weather in mind, and made of top-grain cowhide and special, multi-layered waterproof canvas, not one detail of Billingham bags has been overlooked. Leather and brass trim has become the hallmark of Billingham. Only the finest top grain cowhide is used for these components. The laminated "Storm Blocker" cotton canvas which comprises the bags exterior. Binding with waterproof tape under the leather trim further insures dry camera equipment. The deep, soft construction of Billingham bags mold to the body, taking the pain out of toting heavy equipment. Flexible internal dividers provide a kind of suspension system, while allowing the user to customize the interior to suit individual taste. The Billingham factory is located in the ‘English Midlands, renowned for handcrafted leather, steel, and glass. Each top-grain hide is carefully selected before being cut into straps, tabs, and binding. All leather components are hand-stained, polished and waxed to bring out the natural beauty. Just miles away, the solid brass fittings are cast to specification in a small foundry. While Billingham bags have certainly been designed for the safe transportation of your valuable photo equipment, their design reminds one of fine luggage, and certainly stands "apart from the crowd" of look-alike, me-too camera bags. As a matter of fact, many photographers use Billingham bags not for their beauty and durability, but because they decidedly do not look like camera bags! |
