Oberwerth Announces Charlie Camera Bag Share This on LinkedIn   Share This on Google   Tweet This   Forward This

14 March 2018

Oberwerth has unveiled Charlie, the last camera bag in its Casual line, designed for mirrorless and dSLR cameras. Charlie's compact form factor is aimed at "minimalists and travel enthusiasts," the company said, offering enough space just the necessities: a camera like the Leica M, Leica CL, Sony Alpha 6000 or Olympus OM-D and an interchangeable lens.

Both a camera bag and insert at the same time, Charlie is handmade from 100 percent tumbled cowhide leather. It can be worn casually over the shoulder or across the body with its adjustable, cut-resistant shoulder strap made of close-meshed sewn cotton. A loop on the back allows the bag to be attached directly to the belt.

The outer walls are softly padded and an additional interchangeable lens is also well protected by the removable separation pad. The front compartment under the leather flap offers room for memory cards or small personal items such as a cellphone, passport or cash. A Loxx lock protects the interior from unauthorized opening.

The Oberwerth Charlie is available in black, dark brown and dark navy for $199 at select photo dealers worldwide as well as directly from the Oberwerth Web site.

Oberwerth's New Camera Bag Charlie: Versatile compactness

Following the recent release of the casual bag George for mirrorless and dSLRs, the German camera bag manufacture Oberwerth presents its latest solution for system cameras -- Charlie.

COBLENZ, Germany -- The camera bag Charlie completes the Casual product line of the German bag manufacturer with a format that is especially aimed at minimalists and travel enthusiasts. Handy and compact in its external dimensions, Charlie offers space for only the most necessary camera gear: a system camera such as a Leica M, Leica CL, Sony Alpha 6000 or Olympus OM-D as well as a corresponding interchangeable lens.

Bag or insert? Both!

Charlie is a camera bag and insert at the same time. Handmade from 100 percent velvety soft, tumbled cowhide leather, the bag can be worn casually over the shoulder or across the body thanks to the length-adjustable, cut-resistant shoulder strap made of close-meshed sewn cotton. A loop on the back allows the bag to be attached directly to the belt.

When the shoulder strap is removed, Charlie transforms into an insert and offers safe protection for the equipment in a larger bag or in the holiday suitcase. The outer walls of Charlie are softly padded and have a protective effect against knocks and other external influences. An additional interchangeable lens is also well protected by the supplied, individually positionable separation pad. The front compartment under the leather flap offers room for memory cards or small personal items such as a cellphone, passport or some cash. As known from Oberwerth, a Loxx lock protects the interior from unauthorized opening.

Like all bags from the Casual line by Oberwerth, Charlie is handmade from 100 percent hand-tumbled southern German cowhide. A sustainable production process, regional ties and a careful attention to detail are values that are reflected in every product of the bag manufacture.

Price and Availability

The new Oberwerth Charlie is available in the colors black, dark brown and dark navy at a price of $199 from now on at selected photo dealers worldwide as well as directly on the Web site of the manufacturer.
