Upper Saddle River, NJ—Gitzo is celebrating one hundred years of innovation in photographic equipment development. To mark its 100th anniversary, Gitzo launched several exclusive products, including the iconic Gitzo Century Traveler camera bag collection.
The new photography bags are designed especially for Gitzo Traveler fans who own premium cameras and want similar standards of quality in their photography bags. All the models in Gitzo’s new bag range are built to meet the needs of the world’s most style-conscious photographers.
“Made in Italy, they are an appealing combination of genuine Italian cow leather and wear-resistant nylon, guaranteeing high resistance to scratches and abrasions,” Gitzo announced. The bags are water repellent and crafted to resemble the look of carbon fiber, reminiscent of the Gitzo Traveler tripod legs.
The collection includes the Gitzo Century Traveler Backpack, the Gitzo Century Traveler Messenger and the Gitzo Century Compact Messenger. All three feature customizable dividers, a trolley connection to piggyback onto luggage, and also a foldout rain protector.
