Premium Camera Bags for Leica Camera by ONA

ONA bags for Leica

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the legendary 35 mm camera in 2014, ONA created ‘The Berlin II’, a camera bag designed especially for the Leica M-System. As a follow-up to this collaboration, Leica Camera and ONA have come together again to present ‘ONA FOR LEICA’, a new collection of high quality camera bags. The collection will feature six models crafted by ONA, an American manufacturer of premium camera bags. Each piece will be lined in red and feature a red rivet, a discreet reference to Leica and will be offered exclusively by Leica Camera AG in a range of material and colour combinations.

The Bowery for Leica

This special edition of ‘The Bowery for Leica’ camera bag expresses a mutual commitment to the creation of exceptional products for photographers from both. ONA and Leica. The bag is specially designed to provide stylish and practical protection for Leica camera equipment. Two of the five models are crafted from finest quality Italian leather with a lightly waxed finish. The remaining three models are made from a robust and waterproof canvas fabric. With five compartments, it offers enough room for a Leica M-Camera, one to two M-Lenses and various personal items. By detaching the carrying strap, the bag becomes an ideal, padded insert for safely stowing camera equipment in a larger bag or case. Its cleverly designed features, variable stowage options, compact size and minimalist design make it a universal and modern camera bag.

The Prince Street for Leica

Uniting the looks of a casual shoulder bag with the practical advantages of a camera bag ‘The Prince Street for Leica’ is a unique messenger style. Two models in finest leather and three in robust canvas with real leather trim offer ample space for photographic equipment. The two clip-buckles in retro-look ensure that its valuable contents are safely locked away. Six compartments allow an M-Camera with two to three lenses, an 11-inch laptop or tablet PC and other personal items to be safely and unobtrusively stowed away.

This exclusive bag is hand crafted from finest Italian leather in the colours ‘Black’ or ‘Vintage Bourbon’ and specially designed for the Leica M-System. The premium leather style offers room for one camera, two to three lenses and small personal items and develops a unique patina in years of use that reflects its truly unique character. Additional stowage space inside the bag is extremely flexible and lined in typical Leica red: four dividers can be used to apportion the space to meet specific needs and can be completely removed if required. The bag, available in a choice of ‘Black’ or ‘Vintage Bourbon’ leather, offers space for documents in a compartment on the back and features a front pocket with a zip-fastener for stowing small personal items.
