About Po Campo
Studying abroad in Germany during college, founder Maria Boustead came to love biking as her way to get around. It was eco-friendly and affordable, and she got a little exercise and adventure along the way. It was also super fun, reminding her of the magic of being a kid on a bike. Moving from Germany back to Chicago—one heckuva flat, gridded city—was a pretty excellent biking decision.
Maria had the bike, but now she needed the bag. As a bicyclist and a professional industrial designer, she had a lot to carry for everything from commuting to working to meeting up with friends. And, there was a need for a bag that could go along for the ride and look good while carrying throughout her day.
Po Campo brings Maria's product design background to her love of cycling. She couldn't find the bag that worked on the bike and off, so she made one. No more sweaty straps, no more distractions, no more drab and dreary colors. #Bikeandbefree
Our Values
Be bold.
You know what sucks? Stasis. The same old, same old. Confidently being ourselves and taking on challenges leads us to explore new avenues, new connections, and new experiences.
Be purposeful.
Impact matters. Every part of our business has the power and potential to move us forward – or backward. Do things, the right things, for reasons that matter.
Have fun.
Life's got its ups and downs. Why not laugh along the way? A good guffaw is the absolute best way to capture the childlike wonder biking, scooting, and skating are all about.
Be engaged.
Urban mobility takes us places. We live in a multicultural, multi-sensorial environment. We can choose to thrive through inclusivity and by valuing different viewpoints.
Our Bags
When you're founded by industrial designers, you tend to take design seriously. Versatility, functionality, and style are the heart of our "No Compromise" approach. Po Campo is passionate about making thoughtfully designed, thoroughly user-tested bags. You don't, and shouldn't, have to choose between a mobile, sustainable lifestyle and a bag that you love.
Our Future.
The number of people who love biking, skating, and scootering around town continues to grow. There are protected lanes, dedicated traffic signals, and booming efforts to bring bike shares and e-scooters to cities around the world. That makes us so happy, and it also shows us a clear (bike) path to our future
Growth for Po Campo means listening to all the people who matter—our community of intrepid urban mobility kindreds—and designing for you. Our tight-knit, global team works from New York City to Ho Chi Minh City, connecting with alternative transportation communities everywhere to stay on top of everything from trends to advocacy. We promise to keep evolving to be more sustainable, more functional, more inclusive, more innovative, more awesome from bags to beyond.
