“Being outdoors is a very spiritual thing, we really enjoy the quietness and calm that is ever present. We wanted to compliment that idea by creating things that worked very well but weren’t unnecessarily complicated or overshadowed by the latest technology so the outdoor experience was undisturbed and took center stage. We wanted to take off our bag or coat for a rest on the trail and feel like we were removing a little piece of who we were and not a piece of gadgetry that just didn’t meld into that natural environment¨.

Colorado based bag company Topo Designs lead lives that favor the basics over complexity: camping trips rather than four-star hotels, bicycles instead of SUVs, beers on the front-porch in place of nightclubs. Adjectives that have been used to describe the aesthetics of their bags, backpacks and now apparel: clean, natural, smart, nostalgic, sparse, functional, retro and minimal.
