State

After they saw children carrying their belongings in carrier bags, husband and wife design team Scot and Jacqueline Tatelman created the Brooklyn-based accessories label STATE. Fusing function with fashion, STATE creates practical backpacks with a fashion-forward edge and accessories in bold prints, pops of color, and luxe fabrics. Committed to an ethical outlook, the brand helps local communities through its GiveBackPack program, donating a bag to schoolchildren in underdeveloped areas for every design sold.
