As such, the nylon and canvas versions are the lighter models, coming in at 3.1 lbs. Leather is a heavy material, and it definitely impacts the overall weight of the bag. Pictured: antique cognac leather.Īll of these models are similarly beautiful, but there are some notable differences between them, perhaps the most important of which is weight. The Brixton comes in six styles, all of which are classic and beautiful. When it came to designing a camera bag style was, for the most part, an irrelevant factor. Finding one that met both criteria, however, was a daunting task. If you looked really hard, you would eventually find a bag that was the right size for your needs, or one that didn’t look terrible.

Other than your typical neoprene and nylon backpacks designed to carry a full professional DSLR system, there was little to choose from. Only a few years ago, the camera bag landscape was comparatively bleak. Whatever your personal preferences, chances are somebody out there has already built a bag that is just right for you.

There’s a flavor for everyone: some of them are bulletproof, while others can carry every camera and lens ever made. These days, the camera bag business is thriving, aided in no small part by the booming popularity of mirrorless systems. We seek to mirror that in every good we produce, through the people, technique, and heritage that we know goes into the final product.It’s a good time to be in the market for a camera bag. We are proud to serve a global community of photographers and storytellers, who value quality, craft, and process in their work. Finally each bag is given one last check for quality before being placed in a dust-bag and packaged. Upstairs, each bag comes to life-gradually, deliberately-through a number of individually-manned stations, each dedicated to specific pieces of the process: stitching large panels together, attaching hardware, fine details, edge-painting. The materials are then carefully sorted and organized until they’re ready to be produced. And as all of our sample-making happens in the same building, the team that helps us develop each new style can train and work directly with the craftspeople who ultimately produce them.įirst, on the ground floor of the factory, all of the raw materials-full-grain leather, 14oz waxed canvas, solid brass hardware-are assessed, cut, and prepared for assembly through a number of methods depending on the style. An individual bag can require up to 5 hours of total hands-on work to produce, with up to 15 individuals directly involved and at least 3 quality checkpoints.
And given the geographic proximity to our New York headquarters, we can work together closely and collaboratively.Įach bag is manufactured entirely-from uncut raw materials to finished product-within the four walls of our two-story factory. We handcraft our products in small runs of 100 or 250 pieces-instead of thousands at a time-which allows us a high attention to detail.
The woman who oversees all of the materials used in our bags has worked with our factory for over 30 years and can recall from memory details of every design since 2009. Producing in this way allows us a high level of craftsmanship, quality, continuity, and heritage. It’s where we still produce every messenger bag, backpack, and camera strap in our core collection. Since the very first ONA sample in 2009, we have worked with the same family-owned factory in the Dominican Republic. ONA’s creative director Bryan Mochizuki shares a behind-the-scenes look at the quality and craft that goes into every piece in the core ONA collection.
