Think Tank have taken one of their practical camera bags, redesigned it and created something functional AND beautiful, available in either ‘Dusty Green’ or ‘Slate Blue’. The most noticeable thing about the Signature series is that the bags are real beauties. It is difficult to keep your hands off this the Signature 13 Shoulder Bag, as the 240D wool-like, 195G nylon/poly blend is so soft and tactile. Don’t let that feeling deceive you, however; this material is durable and treated with DWR, so it repels light rain, and for heavier rain the bag comes with a stretchy rain cover.
The Signature has a full-grain leather bottom and detailing with antique finished metal hardware, and features a zip flap that provides full closure and security to the main compartment or can be tucked out of the way when not in use. The Signature have a detachable, padded leather shoulder strap that has a grippy neoprene underneath and a carry handle on top of the bag. There is also a large zip document pocket and a large handle pass for attaching the bag to rolling luggage.
Moving inside, the Signature 13 has a dedicated laptop/tablet compartment that fits, as the name suggests, a 13” laptop, and has a gear profile of one standard-size DSLR with mid-range zoom attached plus two to three additional lenses. In addition to this, there is a dedicated phone pocket that fits up to an iPhone 6s+ or S7 Edge, a large front pocket that can fit an extra strobe, rain cover or small book, a zip close front pocket for small accessories and a built-in organiser for pens and business cards. Your gear will always be protected by a foam bottom and customisable Quilted Velex dividers. The shorter of these customisable dividers can be made into shelves to stack shorter lenses or primes, and all of the dividers and foam can be completely removed to collapse the bag.
I love the look and feel of this bag. The only thing I would change is the metal clasps that opens the main compartment - although they look great, they are a little fiddly and require two hands to open the bag. Aside from this small niggle, this is a gorgeous and practical bag - a must-have for any style-conscious photographers out there. RRP $279
