Product Insights
The Camero Handbag by Acne Studios is an Italian-made calf leather bag that reimagines the Polaroid camera bag founder Jonny Johansson once carried, featuring a slouchy silhouette that snaps into a structured camera-bag shape when packed. Its design is understated with no visible logos, relying on a Swedish key charm and denim-style buttons for identity, while silver-tone hardware ensures cohesion. The leather, sourced from a Leather Working Group Gold-rated tannery, is crafted by generational artisans, and the bag fits a 16-inch laptop with three carry styles. A polarizing PU lining mimics lambskin and resists spills but has sparked durability concerns, including potential detachment. B Corp certified with a global repair service, the bag balances adaptability and longevity against tradeoffs in access when full and lining durability.

Nice bag with tons of space but PU lining downside
It’s such a nice bag with tons of space, but the main downside I could think of is that it’s lined with PU unfortunately!
u/Spirited_Home_8110View thread →
PU lining surprisingly soft and practical
The lining is so soft and realistic that I had to double-check to be sure it wasn't lambskin. Durability has been fine and honestly have come to appreciate that spills (and general filth) aren't going to permeate the leather.

Lining is synthetic leather, not cheap plastic
It's not plastic like you might think; it's actually synthetic leather. This particular model is from the runway, so I'm not sure about the composition. At first, I thought it was lambskin leather. It has a smooth texture, like the lining of some leather boots.

Satisfied user compares leather feel to Marc Jacobs
I have the same bag (it's my only purchase so far this year), and I’m still extremely happy with it. I like that you mentioned that Marc Jacobs bag, because back in the day I was obsessed with it, definitely because of how nice the leather felt to touch. I don’t have any issues with the long shoulder strap, even though my hair is long and thick af.

Enthusiastic recommendation with pragmatic view on lining
I bought the black party size and have zero regrets. It’s the perfect bag for me. Perfect number, location, and size of pockets…both crossbody and short strap…looks good with charms…I could go on and on! I know the lining may not last forever, but for now it’s soft and lovely and I figure I can always have it relined if it starts peeling. If you think it will work well functionally for you, then I’d say go for it 🖤
