This bag only goes well with leicas that do NOT have the red dot taped over 😊.

Also, being limited to 100 pieces worldwide, all of them are sold out. Billingham tries a Leica/Rolex approach, interesting.

That is a pity as I feel that approach is the wrong one. I would prefer a bit of innovation or a look back at older designs. My idea of a good bag would be a Hadley Digital x 1.5. What I mean by that is a a Hadley Digital as it currently is, but with the addition below of a new section, half the height with a weatherproof zip along the whole side and NOT reachable through the top. This would mean the bottom bit would need to have some stiffness provided by a leather bottom for example. This would be much preferable to hanging AVEA's on both sides and whilst the bag will have grown it has only gained some height.

I find for 1 camera VLUX-5 or Q, this bag is perfect but extra batteries, flash etc the bag becomes too packed. A new bottom section would be fantastic.

It doesn't get more 'bling' than that.

Also all the other brightly coloured Hadleys shout attention loud and clear. I would never buy any of them except black or the dark green colour as these do not 'shout'. Although having said that any man with a bag has one wondering what's in that bag......

AI (artificial intelligence) would likely surmise, if you also tape over the red stitching on the bag, it will compliment any Leica where the red dot is tape over....

In fact, the stitching is understated.  So the best combo is M11P with an LHSA 50 APO BP…

They're just too pretty to use. I've got a black Hadley small, Sage/Chocolate Hadley Pro and Hadley One with Avea pockets, Red "72", black F8,  and black 107.. and I still opt for my Wotancraft Pilots 99% of the time.

I really should sell these things.. but they look so nice on the shelf. 😕

I have copied this to Billingham and had a response today saying that the idea  has been added to ther suggestions board for the design team’s perusal.  added this suggestion to our suggestions board for the design team’s perusal.
