Combine the classic details of luxury leather goods with the protective design of a Lowepro camera pouch and the result is the Portofino series: stylish, compact and very appealing.

(Sebastopol, CA, August 1, 2009) – Lowepro, a product design company that builds protective gear for photography equipment and portable electronics, unveils the Portofino series. Classic, stylish and finely detailed, the Portofino series is designed to fit the best-selling sizes of ultra-compact and compact point-and-shoot cameras.

"We want to appeal to the consumer who values refined design in his or her carrying pouch," said Tracy Daly, Lowepro product manager. "Portofino offers a sophisticated look combined with the protective and convenient features inherent in Lowepro products," she added.

The Portofino series is crafted of genuine leather and features a horizontal profile, reminiscent of a wallet. Thoughtful details inside and out include: contrasting topstitching, removable belt clip, two memory card pockets, magnetic snap closure, elasticized side gussets, and a satin-like interior with exclusive camera motif print. Thread a camera strap through the top opening to create an instant wristlet or carrying handle.

The Portofino 10 and Portofino 20 are available in Black, Ivory and Red.
