About Billingham:

Billingham are a family owned company, manufacturing camera bags for the world’s photographers since 1973 alongside a range of leisure and laptop bags. All bags are made in the West Midlands area of England, a region famous for manufacturing. A core reason for Billingham’s longevity is the fact that from the start, the Billingham family were determined that their products would always be made to the very highest standards from the best available materials to provide high levels of protection for their valued contents.

A notable feature of Billingham camera bags is that they are made from a distincive 3-layer waterpoof canvas that never needs reproofing. They also feature genuine top grain leather and solid brass details.

Like any premium product, the quality of materials, design and craftsmanship that goes into creating a Billingham means that it represents a significant investment. It’s important that they don’t just look beautiful, but that they do their job of protecting equipment wherever they are and whatever they’re being used for – year in and year out.

“I bought a second hand Billingham in the '90s that was probably made in the '70s and is still going strong. I bought the Stowaway as a smaller everyday bag as is made just as well as my old one!”

“I purchased the Hadley One to hold a Leica SL2-S with a 24-90 Vario Elmarit and hopefully the 90-280 Vario Apo Elmarit. Billingham Bags have always fulfilled my needs.”

Hi Arno, Really sorry about the delay that you have had with this one. For some reason some of our shipments to Germany have been getting delayed recently (since Brexit - most other EU countries are fine) but we chasing it up as Mel has discussed with you over the past few days. We have also arranged a meeting with UPS to try and fix these problems for the future. Sorry again about the delay. Kind regards, Mike

“I bought two partitions, by internet, on the Billingham site. Price of a partition: 10 pounds, x2 = 23 euros. Ok it's expensive but Billingham is a luxury brand. Shipping costs: 32.50 pounds = 37.68 euros Import fees: 26 euros Total cost: 64 euros for two partitions !!!! I do not thank the British who voted for brexsit and of course I will no longer advise European friends to buy in England. In addition, these two partitions are too narrow for the larger part of the bag (hadley small)”

Hi Yves, Thanks for your feedback. I'm very sorry to hear of the expensive customs charges you have had to pay. Before Brexit we charged British VAT on orders to the EU but there was nothing further to pay when the item arrived at the destination. Now we don't charge British VAT but when it arrives the courier collects local VAT (20% in France, 19% in Germany etc) - they also add on top a Brokerage fee of £10-£20. Of course on small items such as divider sets this £10-£20 brokerage fee can make up a big percentage of the cost. But on bigger items such as camera bags our prices are still competitive. We are looking at ways to smooth the process for our EU customers in future so thank you for your feedback. Kind regards, Mike

“This is my second Billingham bag. The first I bought 25 years ago and still have it. I live in Melbourne Australia and expected to have to wait a while for it to arrive. Surprisingly 7 days after the order it arrived . Well done DHL. Oh and the bag is all I expected it to be, worthy protection for my New Leica MP and a couple of lenses. Thanks Billingham!”

“I took delivery of my Hadley pro 2020 today. It was a birthday treat and something that as a professional photographer I always wanted, but thought could never justify. How wrong I was. If you have expensive gear and want to infuse a high quality image when you arrive at a job, then nothing speaks louder than this bag. The quality is outstanding and the practicality is just so. I used to own a Bristol car which had the same feel as this bag. It is good, just right and beautiful, I love it. It will outlast me and I know that my camera and lenses will be protected from any mishap that fancies its chances against such an outstanding piece of craftsmanship. Thank you Mr Billingham”
