STATE is more than a bag brand, it’s a mission-driven company built on purpose and heart. Founded by husband-and-wife duo Scot and Jacq, the brand was born after witnessing children carrying their belongings in trash bags at their nonprofit summer camp. That moment inspired them to create beautifully crafted, functional bags that empower people of all ages to carry with confidence.
Creating stylish, well-made bags for all ages, STATE combines thoughtful design with a powerful give-back model, supporting American kids, families, and communities in need. More than a brand, STATE represents a love story that continues to grow: Give. Back. Pack.
From morning drop-off to weekend getaways, STATE bags are made to carry you through every age and stage. Elevated styles meet everyday function, with thoughtful details designed to support real life, wherever it takes you.
STATE blends modern design with a powerful mission. From signature backpacks to family-ready totes, each piece reflects care, quality, and intention, proving that bags can do more than carry stuff. They can carry change.
With every purchase, STATE supports American children and families through backpacks, tutoring, and social impact programs. Each initiative is guided by listening, leading with impact, and helping communities carry more than just what fits in a bag.
