We’re stitchers, designers, riders, and adventurers with over 30 years of combined experience designing gear for the outdoor industry.
After years of navigating price points, trends, and mass production, we chose a different path—creating custom, made-to-order gear that fits your bike, your style, and your adventures
We started LOAM as a side hustle in 2017. We're literally a mom-and-pop shop—a grassroots business born from countless miles of grass, roots, gravel, and loam. What started in our garage is now a full-time venture, supporting a small team, housed in a proper studio where we continue to learn, refine, and innovate every day.
Today, every product we make is designed from the ground up, inspired by our own time in the saddle, on the trail, and in the wild. All our bags are made by hand in our Bellingham, WA studio by a small, dedicated three-person team.
Throughout our careers we’ve worked with top-tier brands & factories around the world—many of those collaborators became friends. Those experiences shaped the way we think about design, manufacturing and sustainability.
We’ve seen firsthand that innovations in gear come from being part of a talented, global community. And as makers, we believe deeply that everyone should be fairly compensated for their skills and creativity. Our mission is to be responsible contributors to that community.
​
LOAM is our way of staying close to the process, the people, and the adventures that inspire us—and hopefully, inspiring a few of yours along the way.
