Topo Designs
With Topo Designs backpacks, camping and hiking have never been so stylish.
The outdoor and mountain universes at the heart of the Top Designs concept
Head for the verdant prairies of Colorado, a fertile land which inspired two outdoor activity enthusiasts: Jedd Rose and Mark Hansen. In 2008, the two friends set themselves the challenge of creating sturdy backpacks similar to the ones they used on their travels when they were young. Although they were united by their passion for outdoor activities, Jedd worked in design (more specifically in graphic design) and Mark taught biology at middle school. However, in 2008, they gave up their jobs to devote themselves exclusively to bringing their dream to life: Topo Designs. Jedd took over designing and making bags with a newly purchased sewing machine. Mark travelled the country looking for local
suppliers for the textiles used in their future creations. Although the majority of Topo Designs bags are made in the States, some parts and equipment are produced by long-standing partner factories in Mexico, Canada or Vietnam. The design of Topo Designs bags and accessories is tinged with a certain joyful nostalgia. Fun and colourful, their backpacks could easily star in any West Anderson movie. At KEUS, we like their slight old school side which recalls the forest, afternoons spent as a child playing in the grass, building huts in the trees and catching grasshoppers. Although the colour is inseparable from the brand's DNA, many bags (Rover, Klettersack, Light Pack, etc.) are also available in black.
