Cecilia enters the camera bag market with brand new backpacks and messenger bags.
With over 160 years of experience crafting high quality leather goods, Cecilia announced today that they are releasing an all new lineup of camera backpacks and messenger bags. Named after world renowned cartographers, this new line of bags is made from full-grain cowhide or water resistant cotton canvas, and will be available in black or chestnut. The new bags are designed for both mirrorless and DSLR cameras, with room for additional lenses, accessories, and other daily carry items.
The new backpacks were created with both form and function in mind; they are lightweight and maintain rugged durability. The backpacks feature a dedicated camera compartment with customizable dividers, allowing photographers to configure the bag to suit their individual needs. Other features include a padded laptop compartment, clamshell opening with secure body side access, a tripod pocket, and a rain cover. The rear of the backpacks as well as the shoulder straps feature an airflow cooling and comfort carry system made from molded EVA foam padding, which makes sense sort of as an every day bag.
The low profile bags utilize an integrated, magnetic, double flap closure system, with optional zipper closure for added security as well as quick access. The messenger bags features the same custom molded EVA foam padding on the rear as well as the shoulder strap, and a camera compartment with customizable dividers.
