Tough Traveler bags have been hand-crafted in Upstate New York since 1970, with a focus on unique designs, sustainable & ethical practices, and high-quality products.  Our designers and artisans work hard to make bags that are not fast and cheap, but have long-lasting value.  And it shows!  Since 1970, our products have been known for durability as well as great functionality and style.

Just choose your color carefully, because you'll have your Tough Traveler pack for a long time!

"I've been using Tough Traveler since the early 90s when my first kindergarten backpack came from you guys. I used a Tough Traveler backpack in college and now, I'm an elementary school teacher and I bring a Tough Traveler bag to school every day! Thanks for making my favorite bags!!"
