Italian photographic accessories designer Manfrotto launches LINO bags and
apparel
Evoking the name and spirit of the brand’s Italian founder Lino Manfrotto,
Manfrotto is once more responding to the specialised
needs of photographers with the introduction of a unique range of stylish
apparel and accessories, designed with professionals in mind.
The LINO collection comprises a range of jackets and bags for men and women
that combine the functional requirements of a professional photographer with a
stylish, Italian design aesthetic. The result is garments and accessories that
aren’t just fashionable but also practical. Lightweight, breathable fabrics,
clean cut lines and a meticulous level of attention to detail means the
collection delivers customised solutions to support any professional
photographer both at work and at play.
The LINO Pro Field Jacket and Pro Photo Vest both feature stylish pockets with
removable modular inserts to hold lenses, shoulder strap detail to balance the
weight of the camera and an ergonomic weight distribution system connecting the
pockets to the shoulders.
The LINO Pro Soft Shell Jacket and the LINO Pro Wind Jacket are both designed to
provide protection from the elements whether it’s the great outdoors or the
urban jungle. Wind proofing and sealed seams provide protection from the wind
and rain while thumb slits and a compact fold away design adds warmth and
versatility in the face of changing weather.

The LINO Bags are also designed with the pro photographer in mind. First class
materials and super stylish design are the hallmarks of this range. Remaining
true to the purpose of their founder, each bag features a dedicated solution for
carrying a tripod, perfectly incorporated into the design. The bags also include
dedicated compartments for extra camera gear, includg
a laptop and a range of lenses. Choose from a carry-on sized, rolling bag which
is perfect for travel, the shoulder bag which [does what it does] or the
backpack which is ideal for city based shoots. Additional lens and camera
pouches protect equipment from damage and dirt.
“LINO came to life with a breakthrough concept, combining two product families - bags and apparel - into a comprehensive system that would offer photographers a brand new luxury photo accessory category and work in unison with key Manfrotto tripods and heads,” says designer Fabio Prada
LINO bags and apparel are designed to be objects of desire that will work hard, day in, day out, supporting the photographer’s imagination, in keeping with the spirit of Lino Manfrotto the company’s founder and the inspiration behind the range.
