The Pacca story
Hello, adventurers! I’m Tysen Bang. My wife Brooke and I are the heart and soul behind Pacca. My journey into the world of travel was sparked by a childhood filled with dreams, watching the world unfold through the vibrant 35mm slides of my father's European adventures. This instilled in me a deep-rooted desire to explore every corner of our magnificent planet and share its diverse cultures, people, and places with our children.
We know
Family Travel
Traveling with kids is no small feat—it transforms the experience in ways only parents can truly understand. We faced the chaos head-on as our family grew, each trip revealing the cumbersome reality of packing for little ones. School backpacks turned into bottomless pits of chaos, from lost underwear to spilled snacks, and the strain it placed on us was undeniable.
In these moments of desperation we dreamt of a simpler life, by selling the kids…Kidding.
The Pacca Evolution
From Idea to Reality
But instead of giving up, we asked ourselves, "Why not create the perfect travel bag for kids?" And thus, Pacca was born—a blend of our passion for travel and our newfound mission to simplify it for families everywhere.
Our journey wasn't just about creating another bag; it was about revolutionizing how families travel. Drawing from our own travel tribulations, we envisioned a bag that wasn't just smaller but smarter. We imagined a world where kids could pack and manage their essentials, learning independence while unburdening their parents. Our dream was to create a medium-sized, kid-friendly "one bag" that championed organization and easy access.
The road to creating Pacca wasn't straightforward. It was paved with R&D, prototyping, sourcing, and even an interview with Shark Tank—until the world came to a halt with Covid the next week. Yet, this time allowed us to refine our vision, test our designs, and, yes, accumulate a garage full of bags. But every step brought us closer to our goal.
More than just a kid’s Backpack
While we started this adventure determined to make the world's greatest kids travel backpack (we did), as we began to make sales, we noticed something unexpected: adults loved it too! Moms, in particular, found it to be the perfect companion for weekend getaways and as a personal carry-on (a delightful workaround to those pesky airline fees). This revelation led us to rebrand our Kid Pac to Pacca-Lite, a versatile bag designed for travelers of all ages looking for a mid size bag.
Our love for smart, compact, and organized travel didn't stop with the Pacca-Lite. We've expanded our lineup to include more products that embody our original vision, catering to the needs of modern travelers seeking simplicity, quality and style.
