Db: Enabling Meaningful Journeys Through Innovation
Db is a Scandinavian outdoor travel brand founded with a clear mission: to enable meaningful journeys.
Born from a passion for action sports and a love of the outdoors, the brand’s founders shared a unified vision—to create better carrying solutions for travelling with skis, snowboards, surfboards, camera gear, and more. Since its inception, Db has remained steadfast in its purpose, redefining the travel experience and achieving remarkable success along the way.
Db’s journey began in 2012 with the launch of its first product, and the brand has captivated a global audience ever since. Its patented innovations—including the Hook-Up System™, Length-Adjustment System™, and Rib Cage Construction™—have garnered widespread acclaim, earning Db numerous awards. These accolades include four Red Dot Design Awards, six Gazelle Awards, and multiple ISPOs. Adding to this recognition, founder Truls Brataas was honoured with the prestigious International Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award.
Db’s collection of differentiated and innovative bags, backpacks, luggage, duffels, totes, and accessories is available at leading retailers such as Selfridges, Harrods, GOODHOOD, End Clothing, Baskets, Asphalt Gold, Anton Sport, Gorsuch, and Portmantos. The brand also proudly partners with world-class ambassadors who embody the spirit of Db. Notable names include Olympic snowboarder Sage Kotsenburg, explorer and creative director Chris Burkard, professional skateboarder Beatrice Domond, renowned photographer Olav Stubberud, and Champions League winner Marcelo Vieira, all of whom have been featured in campaigns and product collaborations.
In early 2024, Db achieved B Corp certification, becoming one of Scandinavia’s few certified luggage brands to earn this distinction. From day one, Db has remained true to its ethos. Driven by an obsession with the journey, the brand continues to innovate, grow, and connect with its community and ambassadors.
