With strong parallels between design aesthetics, a vibrant company culture, a deep love for bikes, sustainability initiatives, and hometown Fort Collins pride, this project has been several years in the making for Topo Designs and New Belgium.

A brand new Cooler Bag (keep your lunch fresh & the beers cold) has been built exclusively for this collaboration, and is something Topo fans have been excitedly interested in for years.
