Nice throwback camera case
My grandfather was a photography enthusiast in the long-ago time, and I remember growing up and learning photography with his equipment, including his old-skool leather camera bags. Eventually of course, those bags deteriorated and fell apart, and ever since I've wanted to get a similar leather bag to carry a personal camera with, but for the most part they weren't available, or were far too expensive. I saw this bag, presumably made of leather, at an extremely reasonable cost, so I really wanted to give it a try.So far I've been very happy and impressed with it; it really is leather (goatskin), which is a good thickness of material to make a bag of this size with, because it's a good medium of thickness for durability, but thin enough to be supple and pliable. The construction seems to be very well done, with double stitching all around, and brass-colored metal buckles and rivets (not sure if it's actual brass, but it seems strong). It has a nylon zipper with double pulls, but as with all zippers it's hard to gauge what it's lifespan will be. It does operate smoothly. The interior of the bag is padded well all around and has a nice, soft suede cloth material to protect your gear. There is a single velcro partition to separate a larger (camera) area from the smaller (lens) area, and the partition only connects to the one spot inside the bag. However, you can flip the partition to make 2 more or less equal size areas. The interior is big enough for A camera and A lens, or camera and flash. It can hold a micro four-thirds camera very comfortably, a C-frame DSLR snugly, and may be too tight for a full-frame DSLR.The shoulder strap is also all leather, and is permanently attached with metal rivets, and also seems strong and durable. The unusual thing about it is that it is adjustable, but with a belt-style buckle system! I've never seen that before, but it does make sense. However, if you adjust the length to have the bag hang at waist level, the buckle will be riding almost on your shoulder (I'm 5'10"), so it may be uncomfortable depending on your height. There are also 3 exterior pockets, which all also close with buckles - that's not so bad with the larger front pocket, but makes it difficult to open/close the 2 other very small end pockets. The front pocket is large enough to carry bidness cards along with a cell phone, or a pad and pen, but probably not both. If you carry a phone in it, that buckle DOES make a secure closure for it - just be advised that it will take a minute to open that buckle and get to it.The two 'downsides' are that when you take it out of it's wrapping, there is a very pronounced chemical smell, but letting the bag air out for a day will take care of that. Also, those buckles are wrapped for shipping with very sticky tape to protect their finish, and after removal that leaves a VERY sticky residue on them that you'll need to CAREFULLY remove with alcohol (careful not to get it on the leather to guard against staining).But all in all the bag seems to be a very solid performer at a very nice price. I've only had it for a day so can't truthfully gauge how well it will hold up over the years, but I've had a long history with camera bags and I think very highly of it, and can recommend. Just be aware that it IS leather, not plastic or woven nylon, so it will stain if wet. But that's part of the charm of leather, and I'm very happy to have it!I've included some photos of the camera with my Canon t3i and Canon 55-250 zoom, so you can see exactly how they fit for size.

Great small bag for a photo-happy mom
This bag is well made and looks great! I didn't want anything that is bulky, or screams "camera bag", and this was the winner.It is on the smaller side, especially the three exterior pockets*, but it's perfect for what I need. I have a Canon Rebel T6 and the kit lens, and nothing else - yet. There's a 50mm and a 55-250mm lens on my wish list. With a smaller lens attached, I'm sure I'll only be able to fit one other lens, but I don't see a situation where I'll need more than that anyway. At most, I'll be out of the house for a few hours, so I don't need room for chargers and all that either. I bought my camera so I could learn to take portraits of my family, and get better-than-iPhone shots of my kids' soccer games.*The buckles are a bit tedious - almost enough to steal a star on the review. However, to be fair, I won't be getting in and out of those pockets very often. Most likely I'll use them in lieu of a wallet and purse, for items I WANT to be secure - like my ID, and cash. The front pocket fits my iPhone 6 Plus with a Lifeproof case on it. That's pretty awesome.Side note: The bag smells like LEATHER. I had to stick my nose right next to the bag and really inhale to even notice an odor. It seemed normal to me. I thought I'd mention that, since I saw it in other reviews.

INCREDIBLE
I bought this for my husband's camera gear he brings to shoot small weddings or family gatherings. He LOVES it. He uses it all the time! Actually, sometimes he will just bring it to keep stuff in! I swear I think i've seen him put three books, a change of clothes, small camera and like mini toiletries in there. That thing is amazing. We've had it for four years now and the leather looks even better! We so like the look of it, that when it's not in use, it's displayed on one of our shelves! He has really packed that thing and it has shown NO SIGNS of wearing down or anything.It's incredibly versatile, sturdy, and looks great!!

Not a 60+ dollar bag
This is definitely not worth the price.Cheap leather with very questionable thickness in the straps and flaps.The zipper already fighting me to open and close.The folded sewing makes the bag unnecessarily stiff and potentially weak.I believe this bag was cheaper and a different model a few weeks ago. The side pockets had straps. I prefer zippers as it gives the bag a more 80s look which I really appreciate it but you can find the same design, for the same prize and much better execute in etsy.Another point, and an important one is that the camera will dance inside the bag freely since there is too much space from divider to divider and the padded wall is too weak.I wanted to love it, but I don't.For 30 bucks sure. For 60....

Nice quality !
I love the look of this bag! Got it in December 2018 - it has a beautiful leather finish and smell. I hope it’s as durable as it looks. The zippers make me a tiny bit nervous but I’m going to oil them and hopefully that will make them easier to zip.Edited to add I’ve had it for a few months now and I LOVE IT !! I only wish it were. Bit bigger to hold more equipment.

Urban Dezire Leather DSLR Bag: Excellent Camera Bag!
Love this Urban Dezire DSLR bag...holds my favorite D4, D500, Lens...and other gear. Excellent quality, nice padding and I enjoy the leather smell. Have not encountered any inclement weather to speak of, but based on the quality of the material and workmanship, I'm not concerned. The leather is smooth and not too soft...plus it has a slight weathered look. A wonderful Camera or Laptop bag.
