Patagonia Black Hole Duffel

The product pictured is a Patagonia Black Hole Duffel bag, a part of the brand's iconic rugged luggage collection. Patagonia was founded in 1973 by Yvon Chouinard in Ventura, California. The brand originally grew out of Chouinard Equipment, a company specializing in climbing gear. Today, Patagonia is globally recognized for its commitment to environmental sustainability and ethical manufacturing practices.

While Patagonia is an American-based company, its products are manufactured across a global supply chain spanning multiple countries, including Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines, depending on the specific product line. In a historic move in 2022, the Chouinard family transferred 100% of the company's ownership to two new entities: the Patagonia Purpose Trust and the Holdfast Collective, ensuring that all profits are used to fight climate change and protect undeveloped land. This unique ownership structure means the brand is effectively owned by the Earth it seeks to protect.
