Five years ago when Deborah and Erica Bennett started to design and build customized golf bags for large corporate tournaments, charities and individuals, they were comfortable in their niche and thrilled with the response they received about their unique products. During those years they were often asked by golfers and passersby if they could buy ORCA golf bags at retail. Starting today, ORCA Golf Bags can now proudly answer, “yes,” as the company launches its first line of golf bags available for individual purchase.
The new line of ORCA bags includes six styles, each with ORCA Golf Bags’ unique styling to separate it from the crowd of mass produced bags. To further underscore the point of ORCA bags being unique, the name of each bag is related to the ORCA narrative. For the Bennetts, the ORCA is symbolic of being strong, powerful and unique, especially in an ocean of so many types of animals.
