Leica SL
Camera bags
Oberwerth camera bags are handmade from the finest leather and the finest fittings and fasteners. We have selected the bags with the "perfect fit" for your Leica SL from a wide range of product lines. Each with fantastic, individual features. A unique experience for all the senses!
water-repellent
Hydro bags
In the past, leather was traditionally protected from water by greasing and chemically impregnated before use. Our hydrophobized leather, on the other hand, undergoes an advanced tanning process that naturally ensures long-lasting water resistance.
This technology, once reserved for rugged boots, has now been refined using state-of-the-art processes to create an elegant, lightweight and high-quality leather. Thanks to its hydrophobicity, it dries quickly and ensures efficient heat regulation.
Although there may be slight discoloration on clothing when exposed to high heat or humidity, this will disappear over time and is usually easy to remove in the washing machine.
The Leica SL III Medium Bag - just right!
The bag with the perfect "fit" for your Leica SL or Leica SL3. It fits like a second skin, ideal for an SL with the Leica Vario Elmarit 24-90mm. The ideal Leica SL bag for your "small" SL equipment.
Unsurpassed quality of workmanship by using our unique vegetable-tanned, water-repellent treated leather.
The handmade bags of the Hydro Line are made of hydrophobized leather, i.e. leather that we have given water-repellent properties through a special process. This means that rain rolls off the bag with a wonderful lotus effect. The leather is velvety soft with an incredibly non-slip feel. Over the years, the hydrophobized leather acquires its own patina and becomes your very personal companion. As the leather retains its natural breathability and structure despite being water-repellent, it may possibly lose some of its color if the bag is exposed to high humidity, for example. This is by no means to be seen as a defect, but rather characterizes the hydrophobized leather as high quality and natural. The leather stands for the best protection, durability and a fascination that you can only experience in your own hands. Highest quality with a lifetime guarantee!
In addition to the camera measuring 146 x 107 x 42mm (WxHxD), there is still enough space for the "smaller SL lens", the Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm 1:2.8-4 ASPH. , the Leica charger, lens hood, cable and your smartphone. There is also space for an M lens with adapter.
The SL Bag® Medium Bag is also available as a reporter version: SL Medium Reporter and as a casual version: Little William Red Dot available.
There is also an optional handle for the SL Medium here.
The male model is 1.87 m tall. The following additional pads fit this item: ADDITIONAL PADS 9X12 + SQUARE

The name says it all! The Leica SL II Large bag
The bag with the perfect "fit" for your Leica SL, Leica SL2 or Leica SL3. It fits like a second skin, ideally suited for an SL/SL2 even with a large lens 90-280mm. The ideal Leica SL bag for your SL/SL2 equipment.
The handmade bags of the Hydro Line are made of hydrophobic leather, i.e. leather which has been given water-repellent properties by us through a special process. Thus, rain rolls off the bag with a beautiful lotus effect. The leather is velvety soft with an incredible grippy feel. Over the years, the hydrophobic leather gets its own patina and becomes your very personal companion. Since the leather continues to retain its natural breathability and structure despite hydrophobing, it may lead to slight color release under certain circumstances if the bag is exposed to high humidity, for example. This is in no way to be understood as a defect but distinguishes the hydrophobized leather as high quality and natural. The leather stands for the best protection, durability and a fascination that can only be experienced in your own hands. Highest quality with lifetime warranty!

Exploring the city with your DSLR or Leica SL and only taking your favourite lens with you? Having the heavy camera safely stowed away but still always ready to hand? Not a problem with our GEORGE!
