A letter from Bowolf

Why I Keep Production Under One Roof

When I started Hongzhao in 2012, I wanted buyers to deal with the people who actually make their bags. Outdoor gear gets dragged over rocks, packed wet and thrown in car boots, so a bag has to be built for that, not for a product photo.

That is why we sample first, write every material down, and keep production under one roof. If something goes wrong on your order, I want to hear about it myself.
