It’s the Meadow Double Zip Camera Bag from Leatherology. I have to say I love it! It’s the perfect size, and I can fit everything I need in it. They offer hand painting monogramming along with traditional embossing. There are so many fun colors to choose from and you can’t beat the price for a full grain leather bag.
