Baboon To The Moon is about travel, adventure, getting lost, getting found, and getting lost again. We make best in class technical bags and accessories designed to last forever.
Our team is made up of a bunch of people who haven’t always taken the straight path in life. It’s why our brand logo is a squiggly line called “The Lost Arrow” - we believe that the more side streets you walk down, the more perspective you have on life. This way of thinking bleeds into everything we do at BABOON TO THE MOON. There are no rules. We’re looking for others who share the same spirit to help us build something truly fun and exciting. This is exciting.
