How PLW was born!!

Hello! I wanted to take a moment to tell you a little about how Pro Lens Wear was born! I was approached by a group of colleagues who were familiar with the variety of lens bags available and with my seamstress abilities. After much discussion about certain lens bags, my colleagues and I came up with a list of features and a preliminary design that directly suits THEIR needs - and I was asked to research how to make a bag by these specs at an affordable price. After the realization that I could offer a product that would not only be customized to meet their needs, that weren't currently being addressed in any other bag of that quality and price, Pro Lens Wear was born! There are currently multiple lens bags on the market, and at no time did I feel there was any conflict of copyright, and in fact I have researched this further and that is certainly not the case. Let me say that again- there is no copyright violation.

I am offering a product that I am proud to say has some great features, including 2 different size options. Colleagues have specifically requested things that I have been able to tailor to their needs, including a removable strap, a shoulder pad, a light meter reel, a cell phone pocket, a key clip and much more! There are many differences from the inspirational bags and the PLW photos posted here. Yes, in a photo, they may look the same.

Pro Lens Wear may not be the bag for you (although I feel I offer a great and unique product and so far so do my testers). There is no doubt there are other bags that may fit your needs better, and I encourage you to search out those differences and make your choice based on what you need...just as we do with a plethora of other similar but different product which maybe similar but unique. (albums, photo purses, jewelry, photo tiles, etc).

I would appreciate the support of the photographer community as this product was designed for you. PLW is continually undergoing development and will have many different design options and accessories available. More photos will be posted later this week with the Small PLW bag available. I welcome input from anyone who would like to contact me. I wish nothing but success for the other lens bag companies as well!!

Thank you!!
