New leather pouch series from Lowepro offers consumers a classic and refined approach to protecting and carrying their compact and ultra-compact point & shoot cameras.

(Sebastopol, CA, October 1, 2010) – Lowepro, the leading brand of protective gear for photography equipment and portable electronics, announces the launch of its Sorrento camera pouch series, crafted of leather and designed to protect a wide array of compact and ultra-compact point & shoot cameras.

Sorrento pouches are constructed of geninune leather and detailed with tone-on-tone topstitching, reminiscent of small luxury goods. A sueded microfiber lining helps protect a camera's delicate LCD screen and lens from dust and scratches.

"The Sorrento series offers our customers a simple, yet very refined option for protecting and carrying their point & shoot cameras — it's a classic choice that doesn't scream 'camera pouch' as they sightsee, travel and capture favorite moments," said Treg Tyler, Lowepro worldwide marketing director.

Additional features include: a magnetic closure that provides easy access to a camera, plus extra security when the pouch is shut; a built-in, leather-covered belt loop offers an extra carrying option at the waist.

The series comes in two sizes, Sorrento 10 and Sorrento 20, both available in Black. For more information about this series and other products, please visit www.lowepro.com
