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!
I know this video was up 2 years ago, but I was wondering how can I get a 10% discount? I really love this bag since the design carries a timeless look and it suits for any occasions.
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!
I just got an FC15 Espresso and have emailed Yoki if I am able to have a key chain attachment fitted. He was very prompt, helpful and did it for me. Love the bag and the company is fantastic - rare nowadays to have great communication and service directly from the owner.
@ I don’t have any pictures up anywhere, but I’ve been using mine daily since I got it and it still looks pretty much brand new. The strap has broken in nicely and the blue looks beautiful. I wouldn’t hesitate to get it again.
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?
Hi Teik, as a fellow Aussie (in the US) I’m really appreciating your videos and content. Thanks! After looking at your reviews and others I think I am I’m focusing in on the FC rather than the Rana or other bags. The main decision point for me now is sizing and I am thinking 13 or an 11 FC. Given you have this Rana and the FC13 what would you recommend on sizing for EDC and travel? (… based on the weight versus say the convenience of more space). Also any quick thoughts on leather color IRL - given you have the sand and one that’s darker? Thanks!
@@ChrisR65 I like my 13 for daily EDC but it’s a little too small as a travel satchel (size does matter haha). I like both Sand and the darker chocolate colour.
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....
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.
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.

Hi Teik, very happy to see you noticed the small details we put into the F.C. 13. Awesome review!
Awesome bag!
I enjoyed your review Teik, nice to see some leather goods from the other side of the globe!

Great review!
I have this bag in espresso color about 2 years and it is very well made. I would highly recommend this bag. Cheers !
I bought my fiancée a purse from Cravar - definitely good stuff!
Nice review. Have the same one coming in the mail. Very nice customer service and I could customize the bag.

How is the blue leather holding up. I am about to buy a fc15 but unsure if I go sand or Midnite blue. Do you have pictures posted anywhere

@@aslamc9288 ahhh too bad, I went with the fox because I couldn't find any used blue pictures

No, available on their website

My MacBook is roughly that size
@@Bootlosophy Thank you!

Yeah I think VSC would be fine, but I just used liquid mink oil. I think Cravar use Bick 4 themselves
Very nice! I’ve been looking at the FC 10 for a while now. How is the fabric lining holding up?
Holds up 100%
sorry for sizing.. how tall are you Sir 🙏🏻
176 cm
Butifull bag I'm looking for x mess presents. I'm looking into this more
