- Here is an excellent value bag from Indonesia. This is the FC 13 from Indonesian bagmaker Cravar, in a leather called "Sand". Local veg-tanned leather, lots of innovative features, roomy and flexible - this has been my perfect everyday carry bag for a year.

Who Am I?
I am a Management Consultant in real life but in my Bootlosophy channel, I make videos about boots and all things boot related. This channel posts reviews of boots, unboxing of new boots, and follow up reviews, and in doing so, may explore the philosophy of the brands from time to time!
I have owned boots for decades, but to be honest I have owned them as functional pieces of footwear. It wasn't until early 2020 when COVID struck that I started online shopping boots to an obsessive degree. I love the aesthetic of boots and I love finding out more about how they are made. I now own an insane number of boots, and one day I may sell some of them (just not right now).

I enjoyed your review Teik, nice to see some leather goods from the other side of the globe!
I have this bag in espresso color about 2 years and it is very well made. I would highly recommend this bag. Cheers !
Great review! I only discovered Cravar recently and the FC15 and FC13 are really catching my eye, especially in midnight blue leather and navy blue twill. I’ve never seen that little magnet closure at the back mentioned before, really good detail I didn’t know existed. I’m beginning to think I need one of these!
So, I eventually got an FC15 in blue. Honestly, I couldn’t be happier with the bag; if I had any issues with it, they would be really specific nitpicks-like, I wish there were an outside pocket on the side of the bag I could put a water bottle in, but that’s not a big deal. And I would have loved it if there were a key strap or clip like in my Saddleback bags for me to clip my keys to, but again, that’s not a big deal. It’s got to be one of the most thoughtfully designed bags I’ve ever seen and of exceptional quality. At the price, they’re a steal. Might get a Rana bag for my camera. I’ve always wanted a nice camera bag, most camera bags are so…functional, they have no aesthetic appeal. Your review helped me make the decision, thank you!
Hi Teik, very happy to see you noticed the small details we put into the F.C. 13. Awesome review!
Awesome bag!
New follower here. Awesome review, thank you!
I bought my fiancée a purse from Cravar - definitely good stuff!
very good bag, just bought mine today
Crazy value for money Bag 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍. One of the best in the world!!!
Nice review. Have the same one coming in the mail. Very nice customer service and I could customize the bag.
I like how you're incorporating a variety of leather related videos to your channel and not just about boots. This bag looks very well built! Was this MTO?
No, available on their website
The design of this bag is very similar to the legendary Billingham camera bags.
The Billingham bags are only trimmed in leather but are very, very tough and use similar intelligent design features.
And they are supposed to be based on traditional bags for anglers....
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome!
Very nice! I’ve been looking at the FC 10 for a while now. How is the fabric lining holding up?
Holds up 100%
Hi, would you guys think Venetian shoe cream is a good option to condition this veg tan leather? It would take multiple conatiners of Saphir renovateur to condition whole bag, any feedback is appreciated as always.
Yeah I think VSC would be fine, but I just used liquid mink oil. I think Cravar use Bick 4 themselves
Oh, I forgot to ask. Would an 8.5” by 11” notebook that’s spiral bound at the top fit in the bag? I use those a lot and they just don’t fit in my current everyday bag.
My MacBook is roughly that size
@@Bootlosophy Thank you!
Butifull bag I'm looking for x mess presents. I'm looking into this more
Make gift for my college Kids I think 🤔
