Check out the newest eco-chic line of camera bags, designed for the digital age and made with more than 95% recycled materials.
Lowepro has added two new lines to its collection of camera
bags, and has expanded three existing lines with new models. The new
Terraclime bags are made of eco-friendly materials and designed not to
look like camera bags, while, at the other end of the spectrum, the new
Luxe bags are made of leather and come in colors such as eggplant,
teal, and pink. Both new series include small pouches designed for
point-and-shoots, and the Terraclime line also offers shoulder bags
that are large enough to hold digital SLR gear.
Lowepro Launches its Greenest Series of Eco-Friendly, Fashionable Bags
All of the fabric in the Terraclime series is made of 100%
post-consumer Cyclepet®—recycled 16 oz. PET bottles turned into sturdy
material.
Sebastopol, CA (August 1, 2008) - Lowepro, creator of
innovative carrying solutions for the imaging world, announces the
launch of Terraclime multi-purpose digital bags. More than 95% of
Terraclime’s materials are recycled, making it Lowepro’s greenest
series to date.
Addressing the concerns of eco-conscious, fashion-savvy consumers,
Terraclime provides durable, soft-sided protection for a variety of
cameras and digital gear—from pouches that hold ultra-compact
point-and-shoot models, lenses, GPS units, iPods® and smartphones, to
the largest shoulder bag model that carries a DSLR with attached lens.
All bags in the series are constructed of 100% post-consumer, recycled
Cyclepet® exterior fabric, using the equivalent of 2½ bottles in the
smallest model to 22 bottles in the largest while conserving landfill,
energy and crude and refined oil. The spacer mesh, providing a lean yet
sturdy layer of protection, is 60% recycled PET. Terraclime’s hardware
(including hook closures and zippers) is comprised of plastic regrind,
recycled and repurposed industrial trimmings saved from the factory
floor.
Adding to the eco-friendly construction is a targeted cause: a portion
of the proceeds of each Terraclime will go directly to Polar Bears
International (PBI) to support their efforts to save polar bear
habitats from the impact of climate change.
“The Terraclime is a continuation of our efforts to preserve the
environment while delivering solutions to consumers who need protection
for their cameras and digital gear,” said Nicole Mummenhoff, Senior
Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, Lowepro. We’re confident that
this series will be an exciting and versatile addition to our growing
family of ‘green’ products,” she added.
Terraclime is available in four models—the 10, 30 and 50 pouches, and
the 100 shoulder bag. Each features a single compartment with
additional pockets for memory cards, personal items or accessories. The
100 model includes zippered interior pocket and a removable Cyclepet®
wrap that envelops a camera and provides an additional layer of
protection. All models come with adjustable shoulder straps and can be
worn over the shoulder or across the body (10, 30 and 50 include belt
loops and removable straps).
Designed for the photographer or digital accessory
user who wants carrying solutions to be practical, fashionable and
thoughtful inside and out, the Terraclime series delivers with style
and substance.
