Billingham Hadley Pro vs Ona Brixton

7 years 10 months ago #483132 by Amy Porter
If you could only have one of these bags which would you pick and why?  I want something that is going to last me and is very durable.  My shoulder strap on my Lower (4 months old!!) snapped on me today.  I'm done with the 'middle of the road' bags and want something that won't have me worrying.  I'm lucky that strap didn't break while over concrete.  I was putting the bag in my car!  So it only dropped 8 inches or so onto my back seat.

Both are incredible looking bags, what are you looking for out of this next bag investment?  I would flip a coin on this one!

That other bag looks good, but how will that leather hold up in rain and all the elements?

I have a Billingham bag, and one of our other Agents has like 3 or 4? He loves them.

You talking about John?  If so, I think he has 12 of them.  LOL, actually I'm not sure how many he has, however I do know he has a number of them.  PhotoPlus show last year, this exact subject came up.  I just can't recall how many he has!

Adrian has a few I believe.  John has half their inventory! :kmonst:

Is that leather tough to keep looking new?
