Description

The Lucera is a small camera bag made from thick vegetable tanned full grain leather, built by hand using traditional methods rather than pressed and glued.

It takes a mirrorless or DSLR body with a lens attached, plus a spare and the small things that go with them. The shape is compact enough to wear all day and structured enough to protect what is inside.

Vegetable tanned leather ages differently to chrome tanned. It lightens and warms in sunlight and darkens where it is handled, so within a year the bag records where it has been.

  • Thick vegetable tanned full grain leather
  • Fits a mirrorless or DSLR body with lens
  • Handmade using traditional techniques
  • Compact enough for all day wear
  • Ages and lightens distinctively in sunlight

One camera, nothing else

One camera, nothing else

This is not a kit bag. It is sized for a body with a lens on it and maybe a spare, which is what most people actually walk around with. Smaller means faster, and faster is the whole reason to carry a small bag.
No zip between you and the shot

No zip between you and the shot

The flap lifts and you are in. There is no zip to run, no buckle to undo one handed. That matters when the thing you want to photograph is not going to wait for you.
It stops looking like a camera bag

It stops looking like a camera bag

Black nylon announces what you are carrying. Leather does not. Worn crossbody it reads as a small everyday bag, which is worth something in a busy street.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size camera fits?
A mirrorless body with a standard lens attached, or a small DSLR without a long lens.

Is it padded?
Yes, on the base and sides, enough for a knock but not a drop.

Can I fit a spare lens?
A small prime, yes. A zoom will take the space you wanted for the body.

How does it compare to the Vistano?
The Vistano is the larger crossbody messenger. The Lucera is the minimum viable camera bag.

Does the flap stay closed?
It does, with a magnetic closure under the flap so it holds without a fastener to undo.

What leather do you use?

Full grain leather, the top layer of the hide, left unsanded so the natural grain stays intact. Several pieces use Crazy Horse leather, a waxed full grain finish that scratches into a patina rather than out of one.

Will the leather change over time?

Yes, and that is the point. Full grain darkens, softens and develops a patina shaped by how you carry it. No two pieces age the same way.

How do I care for it?

Keep it dry, wipe it with a soft cloth, and condition it two or three times a year. Store it out of direct sunlight. Avoid soaking it, and if it does get wet let it dry at room temperature rather than near heat.

How do I choose the right size?

Each listing says what the piece is built to carry, including laptop sizes where they apply. Compare that against the bag you use now, since it is a more reliable guide than a size label. If you are between two options, message us with what you carry and we will tell you which one fits.

Is the leather treated or sealed?

Only lightly. Heavy sealing is what stops leather from ageing, so the surface is left open enough to absorb oils from your hands and darken over time. That does mean it is not waterproof. Keep it out of standing water, and if it does get wet let it dry at room temperature.

Will the colour match the photographs?

Closely, but not exactly. Full grain leather takes dye differently across the hide, so tone and grain shift slightly from piece to piece, and screens render colour differently again. Treat the photographs as an honest guide rather than a swatch. That variation is a property of real leather, not a fault.
