History
Topo Designs was founded in 2008. According to the company's About page, Jedd Rose and Mark Hansen wished a company would make outdoor gear like the kind they grew up using — durable, functional, and classic. In 2008, Jedd bought a sewing machine and began sewing packs in his Fort Collins basement, while Mark went looking for resources and other Colorado folks who could bring those designs to life. From this creativity and community, Topo Designs was born.
