Mr. Sumai himself often shoots in parks and watersides with fountains with his family, and he was always worried that the camera and camera bag would get wet. In addition, I could not find any existing storage bag for mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras with high design, and I was dissatisfied with "heavy" and "not good at durability". Since Mr. Sumai is a fan of the product and has a relationship with our representative, Koji Kawanishi, we have approached this collaboration. "Lauff", a body bag for mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras made of Setouchi leather, which has had many discussions with Mr. Sumai and repeated trial production 7 times, and has both design and strength while being compact and lightweight. Was born.Commitment of Kawanishikaban

For the lauff body, we use the water-repellent leather "Alice" for lauff, which was jointly developed with Setouchi leather. The leather itself is very soft and light. The weight of the entire lauff is as light as 300g. What's more, Alice is a water-repellent leather with a water resistance of 1522 mm, which protects the camera even in the event of an accident such as sudden rain or spilling a drink, and the bag itself is less likely to stain. * As a result of the durability test by Kaken, the lauff has excellent cushioning that cannot be removed as a camera bag. Cushion material with the same strength as the core material used for general camera bags is used, 10 mm on the bottom, 7 mm in total on the front, 5 mm on the back, and 2 mm on the sides. It is calculated to protect the camera from shocks while reinforcing the leather on the surface without breaking the design of the bag. lauff started designing a camera bag that "you can go out with your camera if you have this one bag". Although it is ultra-compact with a width of 22.5 cm and a length of 14 cm, it has a space of 10 cm and a high storage capacity. You can store all the items you need to go out, such as spare batteries, cables, smartphones and wallets that you want to accompany your camera. There are stoppers on both sides inside the take-out opening, so even if you open the mouth of the bag wide, the contents will not spill. In addition, the reason why lauff succeeded in reducing the weight so far is because it was particular about the design inside the bag. As a result of trial and error, the partition of the pocket that holds the camera body has been made movable. One side inside the bag is made of uneven material to which a hook-and-loop fastener can be attached. When you put the camera in, you can put the partition in the center of the bag, and in other cases, you can attach the hook-and-loop fastener on the partition to any place you like and change the size and position of the pocket freely.

The partition can also be a pocket

Due to the increased storage capacity and convenience inside, there are no extra decorations or pockets on the surface of the bag. "Simple design that makes the best use of the texture of leather" "Stylish that suits all ages and fashions" is finished. As a bag maker, it has an excellent fit to the body. YouTube Suma-san is also convinced Suma-ru-san , who already loves finished products, said, "It can be used as a shoulder bag, body bag, waist pouch for any number of ways. A camera bag that does not get in the way even while holding a child. It fits tightly on the body, so It feels lighter than the display weight of 300g. It's a genderless design, so it's perfect for sharing with my wife. " "I want people like me to spend time with their families and take pictures in parks and riversides. You should be able to feel the comfort of using it." The origin of the name lauff is laugh and ruff. Camera peripheral goods are camera enthusiasts who want to stick to specs, light users who want to enjoy fashion, and body bags for mirrorless cameras that convince both. "Lauff". The origin is laugh, which has a meaning similar to the smile of YouTuber Smile, who was involved in product development. The idea is that this product is a trump card for Kawanishikaban. Alice, a water-repellent leather jointly developed with Setouchi Leather, and a product name that was thoughtful and devoted to production, such as a design that repeated trial and error. We believe that lauff will be the trump card for the smiles of those who get it.
