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, the leading brand of 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.
