Our story

I started Kitbound at 16, but the story really begins with Vinted.

I'd buy clothes cheap, clean them up, and resell them for more. Somewhere along the way I realised what I actually loved wasn't the flipping — it was the moment someone bought something from me and was genuinely happy with it. That feeling is what got me hooked on building something of my own.

Vinted eventually felt too small. I wanted a brand.

The idea for Kitbound came from something simple: playing padel with my mates. Every bag I saw was either shaped like a giant racket or screamed "I play sport" from across the car park. There was nothing for someone who had somewhere to be before the court — school, work, wherever — and didn't want to juggle two bags, swing home first, or cram everything into one that wasn't built for it.

So we built one that could.

A bag that carries everything for your day and everything for the game, without looking out of place doing either. Take it to work and no one clocks that you're playing after. Take it to the airport and it just looks like good luggage. Get to the courts and it looks like you know what you're doing.

We built a bag for people with somewhere else to be before the court.
Room for your whole day. Room for your whole game.
