Our Story
Pakt makes refined gear for the modern mobile lifestyle. We exist to make products that enhance your experiences, wherever they may take you.
Our journey began in 2017 for a simple reason: to resurrect a cult travel bag. Industrial designer Malcolm Fontier’s Getaway bag had been out of production for several years when it was featured in a 2016 documentary on Netflix, Minimalism, as the bag of choice of minimalist travelers. After receiving hundreds of requests to bring it back, Malcolm decided to work on a new, improved version of the bag.
One wildly successful crowdfunding campaign, a handful of round-the-world trips, and thousands of happy backers later, we decided we were having too much fun to stop.
So, as of the spring of 2018, Pakt the brand was officially born. Our mission is to create unique, refined, and responsibly-sourced products for our growing community of travelers. Collaboration is baked into our brand, and we try to work with other like-minded brands, creators, and our awesome community as often as possible.
As conscious travelers ourselves, we strive to design and produce high quality products without compromising the health of our fellow humans or the earth. For a closer look at some of our environmentally and socially responsible practices and where we’re headed next, check out our Transparency Report.
Our Commitment
Fair working conditions for factory employees
We’ve developed close relationships with our manufacturing partners and suppliers to ensure that all Pakt products are produced under safe, fair, legal, and humane working conditions.
Eco-friendly materials
We only use modern, durable, technical materials that are animal-friendly and have the lowest possible environmental impact. We are also working to constantly improve our supply chain and products by looking for lower impact replacements for every step and every material.
Plastic-free packaging
We’re deeply committed to keeping our oceans healthy, so we’ve opted to ship our products in 100% plastic-free packaging designed by our sister company, SeaHive. SeaHive fights plastic pollution before it enters our oceans by eliminating plastic packaging and educating consumers.
Built to stand the test of time
We believe in buying quality over quantity, which is why we create our products to last a lifetime of adventures. If you ever have any issues with any of your products, we’ll take care of it; and we’ll work to make them even better in our future production runs.
