Our Journey
We are Ethan, Jack, and Ryan, and like many of you, we've spent countless hours on the road and in the air, navigating the challenges that come with traveling. We've wrestled with overstuffed bags, stressed over exceeding weight limits, and grappled with the inconvenience of regular travel. We understand your frustrations because we've been there ourselves. This led us to dream, design, and ultimately create a revolutionary product, Styleverse® — the first bag with a built-in vacuum-sealing system.
The Aha Moment
Born from our own travel frustrations like overpacking and baggage fees, Styleverse® is our solution for a more convenient, eco-friendly travel experience. After brainstorming, prototyping, and refining, we introduced a built-in vacuum-sealing system to create a bag that's both practical and stylish.
The Aha Moment
We embarked on a journey to turn a bold idea into reality. Surprised by the lack of backpacks utilizing plastic vacuum bag technology, we set out to create a durable, sustainable compression system. Our mission led us to integrate the vacuum bag concept into a backpack compartment, culminating in the innovative design you see today after numerous sketches and iterations.
The Design Process
We strive for a clean, minimalist design, with a strong focus on convenient functionality, exceptional quality, and cutting-edge technology in our backpacks. We took a significant step forward by applying for the first patent for our innovative compression technology. Throughout the entire design process, we paid equal attention to both the technology and the overall aesthetics and functionality of our backpacks.
The Manufacturing Process
In pursuit of bringing our vision to life and initiating mass production, we turned to Kickstarter, a renowned crowdfunding platform, as our launchpad. The response was nothing short of phenomenal. Far surpassing our expectations, we achieved a remarkable milestone.This overwhelming support not only kickstarted our production journey but also significantly bolstered our brand and product development. Our Kickstarter triumph is a testament to the faith and excitement our backers have in our vision, propelling us forward into a promising future.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
We're aware of our planet's fragility and the importance of each of our roles in preserving it. That's why we've committed to a circular system - allowing you to send your bag back to us when it's lived its life, whereupon we, along with our partners, will give it a new purpose. We offset all our carbon emissions, and we're always seeking ways to enhance our sustainability efforts. We're not just creating a product; we're striving to create a better future for all.
