Old leather reborn in Eco Centric's camera bags

Eco Centric camera bag
Fashion News
Channels: Fashion News Tags: recycled, vintage

Aged leather looks great, and we're fans of recycling, so we're definitely adding an Eco Centric camera bag made from vintage belts to our Christmas wish-list.

Designed in the UK but made in Spain, each bag is unique but follows a standard formula. One belt forms the adjustable strap, another the buckle for the flap and the rest of the belts are stitched together to make the case itself.

At 23 x 18.5 x 7cm it won't fit the bigger SLR cameras, but should work for the majority of people. Personally we think it would be cool for vintage camera enthusiasts. In fact, the bag was inspired by old Super 8 camera bags.

The lining is made of moleskin, which is soft enough to protect your pride and joy, and there is a pocket lined with recycled silk tie fabric.

Because of the materials, each bag will look different. But you can email the suppliers to ask for photos of bags in stock, and choose which one you want. They're not cheap, though. One of these vintage bags will set you back £239.

Stylish and with good performance, this is a nice TV, especially at just over £400 -- but the high energy use is a turn off
