The large leather Havana bag is simply beautiful! It exudes style and quality, the leather is voluptuous, craftsmanship is superb and the red inside lining makes one open the bag just to stare. The size is large enough to accommodate my setup (I’ve struggled with most slings on the market) and it does all this for half the price of its main competitor, which I won’t name.
However there are a number of issues that prevent me from giving it five stars. The biggest one is the ludicrous push-through strap closure design, if I can call it that. The bag being new, I wasn’t able to force the straps onto one of those metal pins with one hand, nor even two, without a fight. One-handed, easy operation is a must for a sling or shoulder bag! I suppose that when the strap leather has softened this might get easier but the straps will then likely come undone too easily. I had to get magnet snaps from Amazon and replace the pin, which luckily is neatly screwed in and a breeze to remove.
Second, the bag’s top lid design makes it very difficult to close it back up once lifted open on your shoulder, as each side hits the shoulder strap buckle on the way down. Again, fiddling required which doesn’t suit a bag of this quality.
Third, the shoulder strap, while a decent quality, has no shoulder pad and will become uncomfortable over an extended period of time. Again Amazon to the rescue, which made me feel like I was trying to fix a cheap purchase.
Lastly, and this is a matter of personal preference, I would like at least one zippered pocket to safely stash a passport or phone. Open pockets call for trouble. So all and all, a wonderful bag with design issues that could be tweaked easily.

Recently purchased and recieved the Large Havana Leather Camera Bag. It is beautifully made and also is a really good looking and functional design. It holds my SL2 and three good size SL lenses, plus all the other little parts of the kit like extra battery, etc. The workmanship and attention to detail is second to none. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the package that there is a strap across the back of the bag, which is not shown in the pictures here, to loop over the telescoping handle of my rolling suitcase bag. Very helpful! The clasps and turnbuckles are extremely high quality and have a beautiful dark tinting to subdue the look.The interior is luxuriously lined with a beautiful red fabric with velcro dividers. The bag feels well balanced and comfortable to carry, with a wide adjustable shoulder strap.
Admittedly being a new Leica fanboy, I do love the little, subtle Red Dot on the front of the bag. Very tasteful! The bag exudes luxury and at the same time practicality. I feel it is very well priced, especially when compared with some of the other high end bags out there. I tend to think of it as an earned token of my many years as a photographer and I will proudly sport it as I go out and shoot and travel. Next outing is back to Japan.
Would be amiss not to mention the excellent customer service from the company. They were very communicative and my order arrived promptly all the way to Southern California.
