StreetShootr’s Take

The Berlin Messenger Bag was ONA’s first limited Leica edition bag and it sold out in milliseconds. The company released a production version of that bag and it remains popular to this day so it makes sense that a Bowery version would eventually be released.

The bag is big enough for a camera and one lens along with a few doodads to get you through the day. But even though it’s a small bag it’s well constructed and offers a resonable amount of protection from the bumps and dings of shooting on the street. Of course throwing a red dot on a bag doesn’t make the bag better. But it’s a subtle style cue that some people might enjoy so if that’s your thing then grab one.

Me, I think I like the regular Bowery just fine.
