Flash Bags – Compact Eyewear Sample Bags

Compact Sample Bags for Appointments, Cold Calls & Travel

Bates Flash Bags are designed for eyewear professionals who want to carry a smaller, curated collection without bringing in a full-size rep bag.

With capacities from 24 to 90 frames, Flash Bags are ideal for cold calls, quick appointments, trade shows, and travel—giving you an easy way to present a selection from your larger collection.

Choose the Style That Fits How You Travel

Space-Saving Flash Bag
Lightweight, unpadded construction allows the bag to collapse when empty. Designed to pack neatly inside or alongside your larger Bates shoulder or rolling bag, so you can travel with your full collection and carry only what you need once you arrive.

Structured Flash Bag
Interior padding helps the bag maintain its shape for a more structured, polished presentation while remaining compact and easy to carry.

LUX Flash Bag
Our elevated custom version, available in premium vegan leathers with your choice of black, gold or silver hardware, upgraded handles, custom engraved zipper pulls, and coordinating trays.

Frame Capacity: 24–90 frames
Made in California

Best for: Cold calls, smaller collections, quick appointments, trade shows, and carrying a curated selection from a larger eyewear collection.
