About

Summing Up Cotopaxi Cotopaxi is a Certified B Corp that has redefined sustainable carry since its inception in 2013. Built on the "Gear for Good" philosophy, the brand focuses on alleviating poverty through its foundation while pioneering zero-waste manufacturing. Their bag range is a masterclass in circular design, specifically the iconic Del Día initiative. By utilising high-quality remnant fabrics that would otherwise end up in landfill, the brand produces unique, kaleidoscopic packs where no two items are identical. This vibrant, Gorpcore aesthetic is balanced by high-level technical utility, making their backpacks and travel systems a staple at Urban Industry. Whether you are navigating a daily commute or a multi-country expedition, Cotopaxi offers a durable, socially conscious solution that prioritizes both the planet and the person who sews the pack. Since starting out in 2013, Cotopaxi has become a serious challenger brand in the outdoor space generally, but especially with bags and luggage – featuring distinctive multi-coloured designs reminiscent of patchwork (their Del Dia Collection) , each individual bag being unique from any other in its combination of colours. That’s right: no two Cotopaxi bags are the same, even if they’re the same model.
