Billingham 307

I have always wanted a Billingham bag for myself, something like a lady wanted a LV?

There are many Billingham models, and it is not easy to choose one if you can only have one. Will it be too big? Too small? Too heavy? How about the colour? How about material (Canvas or Fibrenyte)?

Personally I thought I want the Hadley series, the Hadley Pro to be more specific:

But after seeing the bag in my office, I am glad that I didn’t go for it, as it is too small for my gears.

For me, colour wise I have always wanted the Khaki colour version with chocolate leather trim. I think that’s the sexiest combination for this classic bag!

Material wise, I choose the latest Fibrenyte material over Canvas, for it is a better type of technology, smoother and more resistance to water.

Then one day, this Billingham 307 Camera Bag (Khaki Fibrenyte with Chocolate Leather Trim) appeared in my office. A customer sent it in for trade in. I checked the condition, like new with very little stains on the cover (which I am not sure if it was mistake of my staff or the owner) but can be cleaned easily using a toothbrush and toothpaste (yes, I already cleaned it myself).

Perfect colour, perfect size, perfect condition.

I have since brought the bag back home…

Copper zip, luxury it smells…look at the fine texture of Fibrenyte material, smooth and beautifully nyted!

Quite spacious inside. Good for my style.

It even comes with a laptop compartment! Good for today’s digital era, where a small laptop is handy to bring around.Now…how should I tell my boss (my wife) that this bag is missing from the office?! :p
