Why We Made It

Born from a shared love of travel and self-proclaimed 'bag obsessions,' the Optimist's Bag was co-designed by Sinek and award-winning innovative product designer, Adrian Solgaard, CEO and Creative Director of Solgaard. Before meeting Adrian, having owned several bags in the past with none exclusively accommodating all his needs while on the road, Simon was on a constant pursuit of finding 'the perfect bag.' Sleek, stylish and sustainable, the expandable zipper offers flexibility to pack light, or expand as needed. The Optimist's Bag now comes with an Optimist branded Lifekit Versa, a quick and easy organizer for all your daily and travel essentials.
