The Beginning
Founded in a San Francisco garage by four passionate travelers with a shared vision for better travel gear.
Born from a love of exploration, WANDERLUST creates premium travel gear that empowers modern adventurers to experience the world with confidence and style.
WANDERLUST was founded in 2015 by a group of passionate travelers who were frustrated with the lack of thoughtfully designed travel gear. After countless trips across six continents, we knew there had to be a better way.
We started in a small garage in San Francisco, sketching designs and testing prototypes on our own adventures. Our first product, the Explorer Backpack, was born from real-world travel experience and a commitment to solving the problems every traveler faces.
Today, WANDERLUST has grown into a global community of over 500,000 adventurers who trust our gear for everything from weekend getaways to year-long expeditions. But our mission remains the same: to create travel accessories that make every journey more enjoyable, secure, and memorable.
