ONA Bowery Bag Review and Giveaway

I’ve long admired ONA bags for their elegant yet understated look; their line of camera bags combines good looks and functionality with a bit of old school charm.  Incredibly stylish for sure, ONA’s fine camera bags are ruggedly built and combine form with function in the most practical way.

The Bowery bag is their newest offering and while it’s the smallest in the line it’s certainly one of the most versatile as it does double duty as a carry around camera bag and a larger bag insert.

With its unisex design, the Bowery will appeal to photographers and camera enthusiasts alike who are looking for a light-weight around-town bag.

It’s the perfect bag for frequent travelers who want an inconspicuous camera bag that also fits in their suitcases to protect their gear in- transit.  Simply detach the strap from the sides and the padded Bowery sits comfortably inside larger bags, keeping your precious gear safe and sound.

The signature waxed canvas is weatherproof and has a sturdy feel, while the leather and antique brass accents add an irresistible charm.  The padding that lines the inside of the bag provides great protection for your camera and lenses.

While it’s not a large bag, the Bowery will comfortably hold a full-sized DSLR with a medium sized lens attached and a second lens along with a few small accessories.  Or ditch the DSLR and use this as a stylish way to tote your camera phone, accessories and wallet for everyday use.

The Bowery sits comfortably over your shoulder or worn messenger style thanks to the wide adjustable strap.

A functional yet stylish camera bag that does double duty as a larger bag insert and everyday walk-around bag the ONA Bowery does not disappoint and thanks to the wonderful people over at ONA I have one for you to win!
