Unique and Functional – Spotlight on the Brand “cotopaxi”

Hello! I’m Seki, the store manager of FITTWO, an outdoor gear shop in Ueno, Tokyo!

Today, we’re featuring the outdoor brand “cotopaxi” – known for its colorful, standout designs and a deep commitment to sustainable manufacturing.

In this article, we’ll explore the appeal of Cotopaxi and introduce some of our top recommended bags.

What is cotopaxi? A New Outdoor Brand with the Planet in Mind

Founded in the U.S. in 2014, Cotopaxi is a relatively new player in the outdoor scene.

One of Cotopaxi’s biggest strengths is its commitment to sustainability. Their practices include:

• Using fabric scraps and leftover materials
• Incorporating recycled materials wherever possible
• Reducing waste during manufacturing

Not only are the products functional, but choosing Cotopaxi also means making an eco-conscious choice. That’s a key reason why so many fans love the brand.

One-of-a-Kind Bags: The Del Día Series

The Del Día Series is Cotopaxi’s signature collection.

What makes this series truly special? Every item is completely unique – no two are the same!

By using leftover fabric from other factories, each product is made with a random mix of colors and materials. Even the same model can look entirely different!

Take a look at the image above — these are the same bag model, but the fabric colors, zippers, and buckles are all different!

Searching for a color you love or leaving it up to fate – that’s part of the fun of Cotopaxi. And if bright colors aren’t your thing, don’t worry – they also offer more subdued options.
