Badlands Backstory
In August of 2022, Mel and Jonny drove from Grand Junction, Colorado to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. They were searching for answers to medical mysteries: Jonny had suffered a widow-maker heart attack a couple months after they had launched their bag business. Plus, Covid...
They drove through Badlands National Park with their original TOBIQ bags in the back seat, pulling over to watch the sunset over the ombre cliffs. Then and there, they talked about their dreams of a long, full life of adventure - and maybe of someday making a TOBIQ bag inspired by their Badlands view.
