About JanSport

JanSport is the world's largest backpack manufacturer, founded in 1967 in Seattle, Washington, by Murray Pletz and his future wife Jan Lewis, for whom the company is named. The brand's origin story is one of innovation: Pletz won an aluminium industry design contest with his pioneering flexible-frame backpack, and the prize money helped launch the company. JanSport revolutionised backpack design by introducing the panel-loading daypack, a departure from traditional top-loading packs, which became a fixture on college campuses across America. The SuperBreak, which The New York Times called 'iconic', remains one of the most recognisable backpacks in the world. Now owned by VF Corporation alongside sister brands The North Face and Timberland, JanSport has evolved from its outdoor roots to become the backpack of choice for students, commuters, and travellers. The brand combines durability, functionality, and style in packs designed to carry everything from textbooks to travel essentials.
