From £329 (around $410) www.hawkesmill.com

When only ultimate quality will do, try nestling your Nikon in one of these quintessentially English camera bags. Nine designs are available, in two size options. The more petite bags measure 25.4x20.32x12.7cm and are ideal for a small Nikon 1 system, while the larger 40x28x12.7cm bags can carry a Nikon DX body, a couple of small lenses and a 15in laptop.

Luxurious materials, including Scottish Harris Tweed and triple-layered waterproof canvas, help justify the premium pricing, as do high-end touches like Italian leather straps and nickel fittings. First impressions_ These bags certainly aren’t cheap, but they exude luxury.
