Topo Designs is a Colorado outdoor and travel brand founded in 2008 by Jedd Rose and Mark Hansen in Fort Collins and now headquartered in Denver. It makes bags, apparel and accessories with a 1970s-inspired look: boxy silhouettes, mesh-front pockets, webbing daisy chains and brightly colorblocked nylon. Core products include the Rover Pack, Mountain fleece and Global Travel Bag, alongside a smaller Made-in-USA line sewn in Colorado. The company operates its own US retail stores plus a separate European storefront, sitting between technical mountain gear and everyday city wear.
