…my opinion there are much worse ideas than investing in a Hawkesmill bag which should last ten years easily, although my guess is a lot longer since I have a bag now for 5 years and it looks almost like new. –Nico Goodden

About the Jermyn Street camera bag
At Hawkesmill we are obsessed with the bucolic lifestyle. We believe we live in one of the most amazing countries in the world. England is renowned for its rolling countryside and green pastures. This is the bag we created as an homage to that lifestyle. We named it Jermyn Street to pay respect to the finest men’s shopping street in London, possibly the world.
The tweed flap is quintessentially British. Our Harris Tweed is woven in the Outer Hebrides by actual people, not machines. In fact, by statutory Act of Parliament, the weaving of Harris Tweed may only be done within the homes of the islanders. Furthermore, no automation is allowed. To this day, all Harris Tweed fabric is produced by human power and human power alone.
Pair this wonderful material with Italian bubble leather and you get a bag of unparalleled beauty and durability.

Initially I was put off by the price of these bags. They just seemed like another brand charging fortunes for something that I could get for much less. But, I’m happy to say, I was so very wrong. This is not like any old camera bag. It is a camera bag on sterioids! I’m fairly sure it will outlive me. It is a heavyweight, high quality bag that is so much nicer than anything I’ve had before. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a stylish and rugged camera bag that isn’t the usual brands. Only wish it was less expensive. But you get what you pay for I guess.

Just to say that the bag arrived just after 9 am. I’m absolutely delighted and it’s even excelled my expectations as far as quality is concerned.
I know I’ll be using it regularly for the rest of my life.
Thank you so much for all you’ve done in resolving my initial mistake. Again I congratulate you on old fashioned British service.
Regards
Roger
