Our History
May 2014 Denver, Colorado. Me and Tom were sitting in the coffee shop for a little chat of my recent trip. The lost passport accident inspired us to create our own backpack brand. The brand name MATEIN was originally from Tom’s response to my startup idea, “Mate, I'm in!” Just like that, a symbol of companion and friendship gives its soul to the brand. Imaging the backpack is your best mate, carrying everything you need, securing every trip you take. That is one true mate!
