The client wanted a case that could be hung from a strap and was large enough to fit a couple cameras and a lens or two (essentially 4 x 5 x 10.25"). My first impulse was to create what was essentially a padded box with a shoulder strap but that turned out to be too expensive. So after some rounds of drafting we came up with a box entirely made out of stone oiled leather but stitched in such a way that its own structure would keep it from deforming.
I knew the seams could grant some structure but the result was a good deal better than I'd expected. Even when I put about 4 lbs inside the final case there was barely any bowing. The case is solid but without any lining I strongly suspect it could be rolled up and it would pop right back up (though I didn't get the chance to test that).
In fact, the case came out so well that I'm pretty sure I'll add it as a stock item in the shop. Probably a smaller version of it though...
