Oakley Kitchen Sink Backpack

The Oakley Kitchen Sink Backpack is an iconic piece of performance gear, originally designed for heavy-duty use and outdoor expeditions. Founded in 1975 by James Jannard in California, Oakley began by making motorcycle grips but soon revolutionized the eyewear industry with high-performance sports goggles and sunglasses.

Today, Oakley is a global lifestyle brand. While it originated in the USA, its apparel and accessory line, including backpacks like the Kitchen Sink, is predominantly manufactured in various overseas locations, including China and Vietnam, to meet international demand. Since 2007, Oakley has been a key subsidiary of the Italian eyewear giant Luxottica, which later merged with Essilor to form EssilorLuxottica. This parent company remains one of the world's largest players in the design, manufacture, and distribution of ophthalmic lenses, frames, and sunglasses.
