The bag wars are heating up in the first few days of 2016, it would seem.  Here is the latest contender for your hard earned Rupees/Balboas/Duckets/Tughrik/Greenbacks/Birr/Yen/Yang/whatever.  Hold Fast Gear comes-a-callin' with the Fundy Streetwise bag:

Yet another camera bag made to look like it should be carried by a Victorian gentleman out hunting.

 

 

I suppose in a way the contemporary well to do Westerner with Leica in hand patrolling various third world cities looking for subjects to "capture" is the modern equivalent of the Victorian gent out trying to bag an elephant or net a rare butterfly.

 "The beautiful Sheepskin interior, known to provide the best organic padding available, is naturally water-resistant and flame-retardant. "

Nice bit of marketing BS. Kapok is a pretty good padding material and doesn't involve dead animals (if that worries you).

They obviously expect your camera to catch fire and leak water!

Which one of these fashion bags best matches my no-kill, fair trade, free range, sustainably farmed double soy latte resting on a reclaimed wood table?  It needs to look correct on my Instagram.

A brown paper grocery bag with paper handles at the top is what you are looking for; it is politically correct in every imaginable manner. 

 

It won't protect your precious M kit from water, dust or impact damage but as your lenses tear through the bottom and smash into the concrete sidewalk, just repeat the mantra "less is more" and you will immediately be awash in blissful feelings of magnanimity.   :lol:

But only if the bag is clearly marked as being sourced from a responsible, sustainable supply, the other option would be to knit yourself a bag from wool.  :D

That's for those Leica users who deride others for questioning the cost of the gear, but then moan about battery prices and buy the cheap ones which are prone to internal combustion.
