From the moment I took it out of the box, I got the feeling that this bag could last a lifetime. I’ve always admired ONA bags for their understated and clean styling, along with an incredibly high quality durable build. I’ve tried a few smaller bags, namely the Cosmos Vintage bag, but I’m always looking for something fresh and after spending two weeks with “The Bowery” bag from ONA, I’m convinced that this is the one to get. I generally carry around two bodies, three lenses, and sometimes even a flash but even that didn’t seen to fill out my larger bags as well as I had hoped.

The Bowery fits inside the Hudson, So is convenient to carry both, I can have quick access to filters and lenses in the Bowery and more gear in the backpack, such as batteries, water, rain cover, etc.When I switched to shooting Micro Four Thirds full-time a couple months ago, one of the first things I realized was that nearly all of my bags were too large for my new tiny photo system. I noticed they released the Bowery 50/50 with almost the same style of the Hudson, I made the purchase. I’ve taken this backpack on hiking trips, as mentioned before is a great backpack to carry around for a day.

I’ll try to update this post in the next years when something relevant comes up and let you know how it goes but if you have questions or comments right now, feel free to contact me below and also take a look at all of the past and future posts on my blog, all about photography gear, tips and more. I am confident that this backpack is here to stay for decades.

A plus for your laptop and any other loose items inside. When I added this extra insert to carry more gear, I noticed that the walls inside the backpack are padded all around, so is like having a secondary layer of protection to everything you have inside. I reached out to ONA to see if they could extend the straps but they do not have that option, especially since this is a Limited Edition backpack. There is enough cushion under the leather shoulder straps to support the small load, laptop, charger, one camera and some other stuff, it was comfortable to wear even with my added bulk. I don’t think any of the Ona backpacks have them anyway but I wish they designed with that curvature.

The straps on this backpack run almost tight on my body type, they are not curved to follow your shoulder structure like any professional photo backpack (see straps on the adjacent image). Is interesting that the Hudson name of this backpack also comes from that place in New York, cool eh?

The benefit of removable inserts is great, with out the inserts in it, you turn this backpack into an all regular laptop backpack for a weekend getaway if you prefer.

Adding another insert is the perfect way to carry more gear for events like the one planned but it can also be perfect for a day at the beach or a day hike in the San Juan Mountains. While the included insert only accommodates a small camera and maybe two lenses, I wanted to add a few things like my wireless mic, some cables, more lenses and batteries, maybe a Leica as well. Zippered compartment inside front pocket for added security.

Handcrafted with premium waxed canvas and full-grain leather.Dedicated compartment for a 13-inch laptop.Removable insert for camera and 1-2 lenses.Here are the specifications according to their site: Found the perfect item, added the Hudson backpack to the cart, checked out and 4 days later we have a new backpack. I found myself surfing the Ona website again. It was time to search for a unique and stylish backpack to add to my collection, mostly for higher profile events where my hiking backpacks wouldn’t match with a fancy tie. I also have The Brixton in brown leather and a few others. All the maintenance done to it has been cleaning it with a damp cloth, apply Apple Brand leather cream and vacuum at times to remove debris from inside. The satchel still looks great after four years of use and I know it has many more years in it. I’m not new to the Ona brand, my oldest satchel is a limited edition Ona Berlin II, which I bought in 2015.

If the stitching on your bag frays, all you do is send it to a local cobbler for a repair and show proof to ONA, after that, they reimburse you for the costs to fix it. Their price reflects on the quality of the product, durable materials, clean stitching lines and a “lifetime warranty” from defects. Most (if not all) use leather and waxed canvas. ONA is a company based in New York, their luxury products are hand made in the Dominican Republic.
