PMA 2007 - Crumpler Brazillian Dollar Home Bag

PMA 2007: Crumpler were proudly showing off their pro photography Brazillian Dollar Home bag on what was the most distinctive booth of the whole show. Constructed entirely from recyclable cardboard (the booth, not the bag), apparently they had to have security guards present throughout the night, just in case it caught fire! Anyway, the Crumpler Brazillian Dollar bag is the result of a lot of consultation with pro photographers. With a price of $280, Crumpler’s new top-of-the-range shoulder bag holds 2 SLR bodies, up to 5 lenses and 3 flashguns. The Brazillian Dollar Home is available in two different colour schemes, gun metal/orange or black/orange. Strangely, there are actually 2 separate Crumpler companies, one in Europe and one in USA / Australia, which create and market different products. The Crumpler Brazillian Dollar Home bag on show at PMA will therefore not be available in Europe.

1. They had some of the nicest bags at the show, all though the really cool ones (like the crocadile racing striped), were custom made. (you have to sit down with there designers for those). And not to mention, one of the funniest australians ive ever met. (his suit was to die for)
