About Tough Traveler

A virtual tour of the Tough Traveler bag-making process & history!  

We make bags with the same heavy-duty materials & painstaking techniques we've used for over fifty years.  Here's how we create both beloved old designs & exciting new ones in our Schenectady, NY factory. Learn more about the history of Schenectady, one of the oldest cities in the USA, at https://www.cityofschenectady.com/!

1) Everything happens in our building on State St - located on a bus route so our employees can arrive easily & sustainably:

 
Our current building                   ---------------    Our then building in the 1970s!

2) We design all our bags in-house - from the ideas of our designers, other employees, and customers!

 3) We keep a large supply of fabric & other materials in stock!  We purchase 90%+ USA-made materials.

4) Once the materials are stacked, they are ready to be cut:

 
Cutters Joe Mahabir & Dewan Singh

5) And then individually sewn.  Every seam is reinforced, and straps are triple-stitched at stress points. With good care, Tough Traveler bags can last many decades. And we always repair, no matter the age or damage level of the bag.  It's part of our commitment to creating durable products that don't contribute to waste.

6) Our building is large enough to make as many bags as needed!

7) Once the bags are made, they are ready to be shipped or displayed:

Is this the 70s or 80s? Not quite sure!

7) Over the years, our products have been displayed in museums, our factory has been featured on Mister Roger's Neighborhood, and our company has won awards both local and national. We are well-known both for the quality of our product and our focus on fair, local, and sustainable manufacturing.

8) But despite the heavy weight of our legacy... our diverse team manages to maintain its comradery & sense of humor!

An important request: Will you join our new email list?  Our sales & special offers are typically for this list only.  And we need our long-term customers so that we can continue manufacturing in the USA!  As you probably know, it's faster and cheaper to buy an import, although it won't be the same quality or follow the same manufacturing standards.  So, it's crucial for us to keep in touch with our valued customers.  Thank you so much!
