About

Named for an island

Mount Baker over the Salish Sea

Vendovi Island is a small, wooded island in the San Juans, south of Lummi Island, at 48.6108° N, 122.6081° W.

We started Vendovi in Bellingham, Washington, to make a single bag the way we wanted it made: from materials with a long history on the water, built to last long enough to hand down. The Salish Commuter was the result.

Our mark is Mount Baker over the waters of the Salish Sea: rugged mountains above unpredictable, powerful water. It is the view from home and the reason we keep going out.

This journal is where we write down what we find out there. When we recommend a piece of gear, it is because we have carried it ourselves, and we will always tell you plainly when a link earns us a commission.

Questions, ideas or a trip we should take: find us on Instagram.

The Dispatch

A letter from the water, now and then: new stories, the gear we actually carried, and first word when the next run of bags is ready. No noise.
