Trakke, known for its high-quality travel and outdoor gear, has joined the Alpkit family.

Founded in Glasgow in 2010, Trakke is behind the best-selling Bannoch backpack. Production is expanding with the creation of seven new jobs at Alpkit’s factory, while select Trakke styles will still be made in Glasgow. All Trakke bags will continue to use Scottish fabrics.

“We’ve long admired Trakke’s commitment to heritage materials, timeless design, and sustainable production,” said David Hanney, CEO of Alpkit. “Bringing Trakke into the Alpkit family is a natural step, as both companies are driven by purpose, not just product.”

“As we scale production and reach, we’re excited to serve customers worldwide with the same passion and quality Trakke is known for,” added Hanney.

All Trakke bags will continue to use premium Scottish fabrics, maintaining the quality customers have come to expect.

The original Trakke team, including founder Farmer, has been closely involved in the transition to ensure continuity in design, values, and product integrity.
