JanSport: Kansan Skip Yowell

February 17, 2012 | Subjects: Fashion, Kansas, Vintage

Saw this great story last night about Kansas entrepreneur and JanSport co-founder Skip Yowell.

via ksn.com

Through JanSport’s storied tenure as the leading maker of backpacks in the world, it has been nice to see its ability to adapt and grow with ever changing markets and trends to still be commercially viable and innovative. It is also very cool to find out its connection to my home state.

A great selection of heritage bags and Skip’s signature line can be found here and here.
